We do think it's a rather dubious distinction to be the first democratically elected head of state to go meet with the dictator of Iraq

It is very dangerous for this country to condone the overthrow of democratically elected governments.

We?re not here to point fingers or blame anyone, but we are here to make our elected officials know that budget decisions they?re making are affecting our children.

We have told the Brazilians that we think that these are measures that provide tremendous inconvenience to travelers and that they need to be changed.

Obviously we would expect the head of state to be a supporter of the state. I don't think there should be any doubt about that

We're pleased with the distinction, but we think there's more to do.
