I would rather have peace in the world than be President.
To me the fact that a Vice President can go to Capitol Hill and lobby for torture is just unbelievable. Just unbelievable! The fact that a small clique of attorneys in the Department of Justice can write how can we get around the Geneva Conventions so that we can torture during interrogations - I can't even get their mentally. And when you read their briefs, they didn't get there mentally.
I applaud President Obamas decision to begin a partial withdrawal of U. S. combat troops from Afghanistan. However, I believe that we must go further and have a full withdrawal of all U. S. combat troops.

I would suggest respectfully to the president that he is not the sole decider. The decider is a shared and joint responsibility.

The one thing I'm quite critical of Hillary Clinton for, and it obviously hurt her, is that at some level, the Clintons had to know that she was going to run for president.
