I Didn't Deserve To Be President Just

Politics Is A Damn Expensive Business. I Had One Hell Of A Time Trying To Raise Money As A Candidate. I Had To Put A Second Mortgage On Our House To Get That Campaign Started, And I Ended Up Spending Over $300,000 To Get Elected. I Believe That Public Financing Of Federal Election Campaigns Is The Only Thing That Will Insure Good Candidates And Save The Two-party System. It Is The Most Degrading Thing In The World To Go Out With Your Hat In Your Hand And Beg For Money, But That's What You Have To Do If You Haven't Got Your Own Resources.

I Believe At Its Core We Have A Constitution, As Our Supreme Court's First Great Justice, Marshall, Said In 1819, And I Quote, "intended To Endure For The Ages To Come And Consequently To Be Adapted To The Various Crises Of Human Affairs."

As You Probably Know, Some American Politicians And American Journalists Refer To Washington, Dc As The "capital Of The Free World." But It Seems To Me That Brussels, Which Boasts 1,000 Years Of History And Which Serves As The Capital Of Belgium, The Home Of The European Union, And The Headquarters For Nato, This City Has Its Own Legitimate Claim To That Title.

The Change We Need Is Fixing This Broken Economy From The Bottom Up.. Not Tax Breaks For The Wealthy And Huge Corporations That Ship U.s. Jobs Overseas. We Need To Focus On Defeating Al Qaeda And The Taliban And Restoring America's Standing In The World.. Not An Unending Commitment In Iraq.
