Political Quotes

“this is a time of serious political turmoil in the United States. The House of Representatives is currently considering impeachment proceedings. The President of the United States has admitted to serious moral indiscretions. The public is divided on what punishment should be meted out to a President who has performed such despicable and indefensible actions. While the House of Representatives is considering impeachment the Senate is waiting to determine whether it may have to sit in judgment with respect to these actions. Clearly this is a difficult time for the nation domestically. It is a perilous time for the nation internationally. We have four weeks left in this Congress and to date we have failed to address some critical foreign policy issues. Notwithstanding that failure and the political disarray on the domestic front, there should be no disagreement as to the need to face up to these issues. This challenge, and our unfinished business, is the subject of my remarks today. Throughout our nation's history, Americans have understood that no matter what was happening in this country's internal political life, America's survival depends on presenting a strong, united front to the world. Now, in the middle of a domestic political crisis, we must overcome partisan differences to focus on urgent matters in United States foreign policy.”
