Political Quotes

“Actually there is not a substantial revision of the President's powers, because most of the President's powers come under the Constitution. The President is the Commander-in-chief of the Armed Services. So if you are worried about the Marines having enough ammo, you can go to Congress and you can get enough ammunition. That is what the Marines did. If you are worried about the safety record of the planes that have been crashing recently, you can come in and ask for the safety upgrades, which the Clinton administration had not wanted to fund, but we did under the Republican leadership. But if you want to have a Commander-in-Chief who is not going to lead your young Marines and soldiers out from a new adventure every 3 or 4 weeks, you are going to have to change one thing, and that is the Commander-in-Chief. So the only answer for the American people for that one is to get a new Commander-in-Chief. But on that point, it is true that if you ask the Commandant of the Marine Corps, he told us that the young Marines today have a higher personnel tempo; that is they have to leave their families more often and go out to some part of the world under this President's foreign policy, that at any time since World War II.”
