Thomas Jefferson once said, "If the people knew all the facts all the time, they would never make a mistake."
This is exactly what the 2008 general election will be about: making sure the American people have the necessary facts to make an informed decsion. Two things Senator Obama must battle over the next few months in addition to Mr. McCain: facts and history. He's wrong on the economy and he's wrong on the war, and both appear to be the basis for his campaign.
In his speech tonight in Minnesota, Mr. Obama criticized Bush for the unemployment rate, yet a fact voters need to know is that the unemployment rate is below its historical average over the last 20 years. You won't hear that on MSNBC.
He continues to say that the war in Iraq has not made us safer. History tells us that we've gone longer under Bush without a terrorist attack on American soil or our interests abroad than at any time in recent history.
These are facts Americans should know. It's up to all of us to make that happen.
