President ’08
That would be Senator Barack Obama. First, from the text of Senator Obama’s mid-July speech on Iraq and Afghanistan. The greatest threat to that security lies in the tribal regions of Pakistan, where terrorists train and insurgents strike into Afghanistan. We cannot tolerate a terrorist sanctuary, and as President, I won’t. We need a stronger…
Sen. Joseph Biden, September 18, 2008: “We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle class people. Anyone making over $250,000….Is going to pay more. You got it. It’s time to be patriotic, Kate. It’s time to jump in, it’s time to be part of the deal, it’s time to…
John McCain today (via The Corner): The financial crisis we’re living through today started with the corruption and manipulation of our home mortgage system.
