“I think it's clear that the time has come to shift our focus to the dire situation that we have with our economy. And I can tell you, anecdotally, when I went home to my district during our recess, I had town hall meeting... when I did this last one, I actually, Mr. Ryan, had to bring Iraq up myself, otherwise the entire focus of the questions and the comments from my constituents would have been the economy. I actually had to affirmatively talk about the war in Iraq. And there was significant responsiveness on the part of my constituents, who agreed, it is long past time to bring the troops home. But really, at the top of their mind right now is the economy. And just to illustrate that point, there was a new poll done recently by the New York Times, a CBS poll that showed 89 percent of those surveyed believe the cost of the war has contributed a lot or some to the United States' economic problems.”
