From the beginning of the Bush presidency, the United Nations and other international bodies/treaties have often been belittled, trivialized, or outright ignored. What is your view on the place of the United States in the global community? Do you support more robust international governance? For example, do you support the United States signing on to the International Criminal Court, Kyoto, and the ABM Treaty (resigning in this case)? Do you support full compliance with the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty?

When the Republicans led Congress, they were quite successful, using procedural and political tactics, in blocking the Democratic Party's agenda.
Why is it that the Republican Party, now the minority, seem to maintain this power? Allowing the minority party a seat at the table may seem like the civil and polite way to govern, but it has resulted in the public perception of a deadlocked, do-nothing Congress, or worse, one in which the majority party capitulates to the minority party even when polling shows that the majority party has the backing of the majority of the population. What have you done to alter this perception?

As you are well aware, approval ratings for the 110th Congress are abysmally low, even lower than that of our President.
After receiving a mandate from the American people in the 2006 elections, why do you feel the ratings are so low for our Democratically controlled Congress? Do you feel that the Congress has accomplished what the people had hoped for when voting in 2006? Please explain.
