When Those Pictures Of Abu Ghraib Came

If We Are Serious About Combating The Childhood Obesity Epidemic And Improving Child Nutrition, Then Everyone Must Chip In -- Parents, Schools, And Yes Even Congress.

When Those Pictures Of Abu Ghraib Came Out, I Thought, My Gosh, This Is Like The Tiger Cages For Prisoners In Vietnam All Over Again. Only We Were Actually Doing It Ourselves, We Weren't Hiring Another Government To Do It.

When I First Arrived To Congress In 1975, I Would Spend Several Hours Every Week With Republicans - Having Lunch, Drinking A Beer. But By The Time I Left Last Year, That Was A Rarity. Every Moment Of Free Time Is Eaten Up By Fundraising. And The Advent Of All These Groups That Can Threaten Passage Of This Or That With An Avalanche Of Money Or A Primary Opponent Has Poisoned Our Politics.

Politics Is Like Driving. To Go Backward Put It In R. To Go Forward Put It In D.

The Planes Were Hijacked, The Buildings Fell, And Thousands Of Lives Were Lost Nearly A Thousand Miles From Here. But The Attacks On The World Trade Center And The Pentagon Were An Attack On The Heart Of America. And Standing Here In The Heartland Of America, We Say In One Voice We Will Not Give In To Terrorists; We Will Not Rest Until They Are Found And Defeated; We Will Win This Struggle Not For Glory, Nor Wealth, Nor Power, But For Justice, For Freedom, And For Peace; So Help Us God.
