JEFFREY GOLBERG'S INTERVIEWS WITH OBAMA & McCAIN
Reader comment on item: Obama vs. McCain on the Middle East
Submitted by JACQUES HADIDA (United States), Jun 6, 2008 at 16:08
Thank you very much for sharing this document
I enjoyed so much both interviews by Jeffrey Goldberg of Obama and McCain
I was struck by the choice of writers, Mc Cain surely scoring more points with his choices.
Though Obama sounded calm, kind of knowledgeable and confident, McCain came as stronger, adamant on his positions.
Am so pleased to have read all and I thank you again
