I think the administration has to speak with one voice on this."[On the timing of Iraqi elections, now planned for Jan. 30:][2] "If you have one delay, you are going to have another delay. And if you have a delay, I think the insurgency will increase [in Iraq]. I do not think it will decrease."[On whether federal farm policies are contributing to America's obesity epidemic:][3] "I am not aware of any action taken by any farmer or rancher or caused by any agriculture program that has forced American consumers to go into their favorite food establishment and order the supersized number three menu item, the two appetizers preceding and the dessert following the main entree, followed by ten to 12 hours of television."Roberts and U.S. Rep.
