John McCain: “John McCain is going to double-down on George Bush's Iraq policy, and he's going to extend the tax cuts and basically…”

I'm the luckiest guy on earth. I have served America's cause, the cause of our security and the security of our friends, the cause of freedom and equal justice all my adult life.

I especially want to acknowledge the leadership of Senator McCain of Arizona who introduced the Native American Languages Act (NALA) in 1990.

I want to say to all of you that I am so honored to be here to speak before this Committee.

I have to recognize that it has been this body, this Senate Committee, very important Committee on Indian Affairs that has been helping us.
