When it comes to the Middle East, this is always a very difficult issue for any American president.
We need to address the economic issues around the kitchen table, and if people want a more high-minded politics and want to move our country forward, go on to martinomalley.com and help my campaign move our country moves.
I think from a moral issue, CEOs should not be making - whether it's 270 or 300 times more than their workers are making.
We have a lot of issues with corporate power that have to be addressed. My plan takes us further and it would do the job.
Our country deserves no less, because all of the other issues we want to deal with depend upon us being secure and strong.
I have great respect for Senator [Bernie] Sanders's commitment to try to restore Glass-Steagall. But I do not believe that that is enough. And in fact, I don't believe it really addresses a lot of the biggest issues we have.
I want to go further, because it was investment banks, it was insurance companies, it was mortgage companies, all of which contributed.So let's not just be narrowly focused on one part of the problem.

The importance of building relationships among colleagues, of trying to create coalitions behind the issues that you are championing, was not something I ever had much insight into until I was elected and started serving in the Senate.
I would say that folks who have looked at this issue for a long time, whether it's Elizabeth Warren or many other economists, will tell you that right now, yes, we do need a 21st century Glass-Steagall legislation.
I've spent so many years commuting, I kind of prefer a home office.
I've often thought that the gauntlet of American politics is more individualistic, more expensive, more unpredictable than in many other democracies.
