Ron Paul Vs. Barack Obama: The War
Ron Paul
“Going into Iraq and Afghanistan and threatening Iran is the worst thing we can do for our national security. I am less safe, the American people are less safe. We need a new foreign policy: Mind our own business and bring the troops home.”
Barack Obama
“We need to focus our attention on how to reduce the U.S. military footprint in Iraq. Notice that I say ‘reduce,’ and not ‘fully withdraw.’”
“I believe that we should have all our troops out [of Iraq] by 2013 but I don’t want to make promises.”

Wow! I did not know that Obama was against a faster schedule for bringing our troops home. Here’s the link that sources your Obama quote:

And here’s a link to my article about how the Obama campaign prevented me from entering a rally at Georgia Tech because I carried a home-made sign that said “Peace Is Good” on one side and “War No More” on the other side:

Ron Paul is a far better candidate than Barack Obama. Ron Paul actually understands why we are in the mess we are in. Obama is simply reactive. I do not trust Obama. I especially do not trust him with monetary policy.
