WITN's Audrey Washington conducted an exclusive one-on-one interview with Senator Barack Obama during his stop in Fayetteville.
Obama said the Iraq war has left the United States less safe. He says
the war has encouraged al-Qaida, the Taliban, Iran and North Korea. Obama says "the war has cost us 12 billion dollars a month that we could be investing in America and I think its very important that we rebuild a strategy that goes after Al Qaida."
Obama says if elected he would start bringing the troops home one to two brigades each month.
When it comes to taxes, Obama says, "I want to give a middle class tax cut to people making $75,000 a year or less, put more money in their pockets to deal with rising costs."
Obama also criticized Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and likely
Republican nominee John McCain. Obama says they talk tough on
national security but make decisions that leave the country less
secure.

I think this interview was fantastic! I can't believe we have such an awesome candidate like Obama. I'm proud of WITN and Audrey Washington for getting the interview and bringing it to us in the East. Wonderful! Even moreso, I will be casting my vote for Barack Obama because he's going to change this country and the world!
I find it interesting no one is asking Bush any hard questions. All Cindy Sheehan wanted was for Bush to explain the Downy Street Memos.
