Kucinich plans for presidency
"The money that this country needs to rebuild is going for war," he said. "The overriding issue in this campaign is getting out of Iraq."
(...)
"The longer we stay there, the stronger al Qaida becomes," he said. "We're trapping ourselves."
(...)
"NAFTA ended up being a disaster," he said. A bit of laughter erupted when he quoted and agreed with 1996 presidential candidate Ross Perot, who said the agreement would produce "a giant sucking sound." Kucinich said his first act in office as president would be to withdraw from NAFTA and the World Trade Organization and go back to bilateral trade in an effort to help restore manufacturing jobs for U.S. workers.

"It's our obligation that people in this country have work," he said. "Global corporations are throwing people out of work. We have the responsibility to protect jobs. Call it protectionism or whatever. It's either buy American or bye, bye, America."

Sounds like he's making his rhetoric about trade a little more pointed!

Go Kooch! :D
