Another 816,000 Americans fell into poverty in 2007 - including nearly 500,000 children - bringing the total increase in Americans in poverty under President Bush to 5.7 million.

Russia's government must respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Georgia and other independent states.

Today's news confirms what America's struggling families already know - that over the past seven years our economy has moved backwards.

Let us be clear, no one wants to see another Cold War with Russia.

The world must make clear that acts of aggression such as the invasion of Georgia are costly and consequential.

This crisis is far from over.

Joe Biden will give us some real straight talk.

As I have said repeatedly I also support providing additional assistance to the companies in future years to ensure that advanced fuel-efficient vehicles will be made here in the US.

John McCain, who says he's a maverick, he's been resorting to the same old politics. He hired all these folks who used to work for Karl Rove, and there's nothing new about what he's doing, because we've saw it four years ago, eight years…
