About A Matter of Opinion
This is the blog of the Dayton Daily News editorial page. Regular contributors include the journalists who work on the two-page section labeled "Opinions" in the paper. But the blog is also a forum for readers. We comment on subjects that are being written about in the newspaper, but other subjects are fair game, too.
Ellen Belcher is the Dayton Daily News opinion pages editor. She writes about state government, education, the environment, higher education and all things Dayton.
Martin Gottlieb is an editorial writer and columnist for the Dayton Daily News opinion pages. He focuses on the political process itself and does such national issues as war, the economy, taxes and Social Security, as well as a hodge-podge of local and state issues.

Big week for Republican foreign policy speeches.
I thought that both President Bush (in his speech in Dayton) and Sen. John McCain, in a speech laying out his basic approach to foreign policy, made points that the Democratic presidential candidates have been ignoring and are obliged to address.
Here’s a link to the text of the McCain speech:

As for the video or audio of his speech, trust me, you don’t want it. He gives a speech like he’s giving a report.
Here’s a link to an audio version of President Bush’s speech:
