The Palestinian conflict is the glass ceiling of Israel's economy.

Hamas's strategy is resistance and survival. As long as they survive, this is a victory.

The Iranians are abusing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to gain more support from radical elements in the region.

The state of Israel, and a government under me, will make it a strategic objective to topple the Hamas regime in Gaza. The means for doing this should be military, economic, and diplomatic.

When the government takes video of people in public places, the images should only be kept as long as they may reasonably be needed to investigate a crime. After a few days, if there has not been a report of a crime, they should be destroyed.

The White House doesn't create jobs. The government together - White House, Congress - creates policies that allow for greater job creation.

In every election homophobia has been part of the landscape and in every campaign I've been able to become connected enough to my constituents that they know who I am and that I can be elected on my merits.

I have no doubt that the government of this great nation will work with its people to lead New Orleans and the Gulf Coast back to an enlightened, proud, safe part of the world.
