Presidential Quotes

The presidential candidates. Lets forget what they look like, what they sound like and focus on what they stand for. To hear their words through the citizens of the United States, the people who really matter: The Voters. When you take their speeches out of the context of a heated debate or a party rally, do they still ring true? As president, I will use whatever military force is necessary to protect U.S. citizens and interests around the globe. But what I also understand is that the military option is not the only option in the toolbox." Obama "America is safer now than it was on 9/11," "But we have a long way to go before we can declare America safe."-McCain Weve spent over 600 billion so far. We have lost over 4,000 lives, we have seen 30,000 wounded and Al Qaeda is resurregent stronger now then at any time since 2001. We took our eye off the ball. Obama The war was very badly mishandled-McCain I am not opposed to all wars, I am opposed to dumb wars.-Obama "I agreed with the President's difficult decision to go to war in Iraq.-McCain "Too many lives have been lost and too many billions have been spent for us to trust the President on another tried and failed policy opposed by generals and experts, Democrats and Republicans, Americans and even the Iraqis themselves.-Obama "The biggest problem with the American health care system is that it costs too much. ... Businesses and families pay more and more every year to get what they often consider to be inadequate attention or poor care."-McCain And if we are spending 300 billion dollars on tax cuts, for people who dont need them and werent even asking for them, and we are leaving out healthcarethen I think we have made a bad decision Obama But I have a fundamental belief in the goodness and strength of the American worker. And the American worker is the most productive, the most innovative. America is still the greatest producer, exporter and importer.-McCain Now, we also have to recognize that this is a final verdict on eight years of failed economic policies promoted by George Bush, supported by Senator McCain, a theory that basically says that we can shred regulations and consumer protections and give more and more to the most, and somehow prosperity will trickle down. -Obama And my campaign is about getting this economy back on track, about creating jobs, about a brighter future for America. And that's what my campaign is about and I'm not going to raise taxes the way Senator Obama wants to raise taxes in a tough economy. And that's really what this campaign is going to be about. McCain The Constitution can be interpreted in so many ways. And one way is a cramped and narrow way in which the Constitution and the courts essentially become the rubber stamps of the powerful in society. And then theres another vision of the court that says that the courts are the refuge of the powerless -Obama The fact is that businesses in America today are paying the second highest tax rate of anywhere in the world. Our tax rate for business in America is 35 percent. Ireland, it's 11 percent. We need to cut the business tax rate in America. We need to encourage business. - MCCAIN Its been your president, who said you agreed with 90% of the time, who presides over this increase in spending and enormous deficits and you voted for almost all of his budgets. Obama Yes. Senator Obama, I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago. I'm going to give a new direction to this economy in this country. McCain We Republicans came to power to change government, and government changed us. McCain "You cannot be a 21st-century superpower and act like a 20th-century dictatorship,"-Obama
