Explains why in wartime foreign policy is more important than economics or civil liberties and offers some advice for Senator Obama
"Foreign policy in my view is more important than either economics or civil liberties. ... And, in this area, you stand head and shoulders above the other two major candidates. ... You are different. I discern ... that beneath your ultra-liberal (socialist) voting record, and mindless demagogic sloganeering ... there is a real concern for people, particularly the poor." |

Obama and Goolsbee propose something entirely different - not a triangulation, but a basis for crafting public policy orthogonal to the traditional liberal-conservative axis." |
