Next to upholding the Constitution of the United States, the president's highest duty is to protect the security of this country - our national security.
His campaign has used this for some time as an effort to kind of buttress his national security flank by saying I might be his running mate,
calls for pulling back the tax cuts for those Americans that are making $200,000 a year and above, and using that money in a way that will advance our national interest. It's creating jobs. It's focused like a laser beam on job creation.
This is a guy who will fly halfway around the world for a photo opportunity, but he won't (go) halfway across town to honor American servicemen being buried in Arlington National Cemetery,
I've forgotten more about national security than George W. Bush will ever learn.
