Barack Obama

"She made a similar argument when she said her vote for war was based on her experience on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. But here's the stark reality: There's a security gap in this country. A gap in rhetoric of those who claim to be tough on national security and the reality of growing insecurity caused by their decisions. A gap between Washington experience and the wisdom of Washington's judgments. A gap between the rhetoric of those who tout their support for our troops and the over burdened state of our military and the enormous stresses of our military families.

"The world's financial markets are truly feeling the pinch. The lack of money and credit, falling housing market, and banks folding. Things are so bad that some are predicting that we are heading towards financial Armageddon. Governments and central banks are trying to cushion financial markets from a complete meltdown.

"So the US Federal Reserve, the 'Fed', and central banks have come up with a plan to pump more cash into the global financial system to ease what's being called 'the credit crunch'. The other banks involved are the Bank of England, The Bank of Canada, European Central Bank, and the Swiss National Bank.

Part of the plan has been the reduction of interest rates which is really good news for mortgage holders and banks on the verge of collapse, but it's bad news for savers..."

"Mr. President, there is no reason for the United States of America to remain in Somalia. The American people want them home. I believe the majority of Congress wants them home. And to set an artificial date of March 31st or even February 1st, In my view is not acceptable.

"The criteria should be to bring them home as safely and as rapidly as possible. An abolition that I think could be completed in a matter of weeks. The American people did not support the goals of nation-building, peace-making, law and order, and certainly not war-lord running. To get into law-and-order, nation-building, etcetera, I think is a tragic and terrible mistake..."
