Jeff Berkowitz: No restraints on abortion. Whatever a woman wants to do, she can do?
Robert Abboud [D-Barrington Hills, 16th Cong. Dist.]: I support the current law.
Jeff Berkowitz: Okay, Roe v. Wade

Jeff Berkowitz: Why does somebody need an assault weapon in the 16th Cong. Dist. Do they?
Robert Abboud: It’s not an issue of Assault Weapons bans… What I am concerned about is what police chiefs around the country are concerned about and that is the power of ammunition that’s available. The problem with the assault weapons ban is its based on this kind of archaic definition of what an assault weapon is.

On this week’s suburban edition of "Public Affairs," Jeff Berkowitz, show host and executive legal recruiter, debates and discusses with Robert Abboud, 16th Cong. Dist. Democratic Nominee and Barrington Hills Village President, domestic, cultural and foreign public policy issues including how the Bush Administration has been handling recent financial sector issues, such as the bailout of Bear Stearns, the decision not to bailout Lehman Brothers, the merger of Merrill Lynch with Bank of America, the bailouts of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government's acquisition of 80% of AIG and the proposed 700 billion dollar purchase of assets from various entities; whether Abboud would have supported the Bush tax cuts and/or other tax cuts; Abboud's views on trade agreements, jobs and manufacturing are contrasted with those of Cong. Manzullo, as understood by Abboud and Berkowitz.
Watch for Cong. Manzullo to give his own views, on next week’s suburban edition of Public Affairs, about various of the above and below subjects, and they will be contrasted with those of Abboud, as understood by Manzullo and Berkowitz.
Additional topics discussed include what went wrong with the U. S. economy; was it de-regulation or was it the wrong kind of regulation that was the problem; should we be relying more on corporate bankruptcies to handle the financial problems discussed above; how would Abboud and Manzullo differ in their approaches to solving the above discussed financial sector and U. S. Economy problems; are both Abboud and Manzullo somewhat protectionist on trade; do Abboud and Manzullo differ on the desirability of NAFTA type agreements; the future potential of nuclear as a source of energy; and should off-shore drilling be allowed within 50 miles of the U. S. coast.
Additional topics discussed include whether or not taxes should be increased on capital gains and dividends, as Senator Obama apparently wants to do; should the U. S. exit Iraq in a way that allows the potential for success of the Iraq government; should there be more restrictions on abortions than is currently the case; should the previous federal ban on assault weapons be brought back; more border control to restrain illegal immigration? a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants currently in the country?
