Every blister from going door-to-door in... [View all]

...'04,'08, and'12 in support of Kerry and Obama was worth it because of today. President Obama and John Kerry are standing for what is right and standing by their word. Both have GREAT integrity...no matter what Congress does.

I am very grateful today for what they are doing to elevate the debate on foreign policy. That did NOT happen before Iraq. It might have made ALL the difference.

But it IS going to happen before action on SYRIA.

EXCELLENT, Mr. President...and thank you to you and Secretary Kerry. You still have my support...
