[obama White House] Rescued The Economy From

I Hope President [hamid] Karzai Understands That Our National Security Interests Don't Depend Entirely On His Decision There Whether To Allow A Recount. Obviously The Legitimacy Of That Government Is An Important Component Of It. My Point Is It Shouldn't Be The Lynch Pin For Us Deciding Whether We're Going To Protect Our National Security Interests In That Region.

Because Of The President’s Leadership, Every American Will Have Access To Affordable, Quality Health Care.

We've Been At War For Many Years In Afghanistan Following 9/11. We Know That We've Got Young Men And Women On The Ground Now. We've Got Our Blood And Treasure At Stake There Already.

At Some Point, Deliberation Begins To Look More Like Indecisiveness Which Then Becomes A Way Of Emboldening Our Enemies And Allies And Causing Our Allies To Question Our Resolve. So We Shouldn't Let One Component Of This Determine Our National Security Here Which Depends On Providing An Afghanistan Which Denies A Safe Haven To Terrorists As Well As Stabilizing Pakistan. Those Are Our Two National Security Interests At Stake In Afghanistan.

I Do Not Believe That A Counterterrorism Strategy All By Itself, Without A Sufficient Level Of Counterinsurgency, Will Work.
