I get always a little uptight when I hear politicians say how exceptional America is.
We can't change minds without knowing what's in them.
Our purpose now is to reclaim democracy itself. We are here to affirm that when Americans stand up and speak their minds and say America can do better, that is not a challenge to patriotism; it is the heart and soul of patriotism.
At every step of the way, George W. Bush has put the narrow interests of the few ahead of the interests of most Americans.
So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real.
It's hard to believe that in the greatest democracy in the world, we need legislation to prevent the government from writing and paying for the news.
The problems of health care can be solved if we stop giving tax cuts to those who have the most, and start making health care affordable for those working harder and harder for too little.
I'm Going To Make Available To Every American The Same Health Care Plan That Senators And Congressmen Give Themselves.
What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States.
It is the duty of any president, in the final analysis, to defend this nation and dispel the security threat. Saddam Hussein has brought military action upon himself by refusing for 12 years to comply with the mandates of the United Nations. The brave and capable men and women of our armed forces and those who are with us will quickly, I know, remove him once and for all as a threat to his neighbors, to the world, and to his own people, and I support their doing so.
It appears that with the deadline for exile come and gone, Saddam Hussein has chosen to make military force the ultimate weapons inspections enforcement mechanism. If so, the only exit strategy is victory, this is our common mission and the world's cause.
As the saying goes, I have big heels to fill.
I'm proud of my medals. I always was proud of them.
I'm going to be honest with you - I don't know a lot about Cuba's healthcare system. Is it a government-run system?
