It isn't just Republicans that are having trouble understanding what this guy is thinking......
End the war on terror..... yeah, that sounds like a magnificent idea!!! I hate the fact that my brother, neighbor, friends are fighting or will be fighting over there again in the very near future and pray every day for their safe return while doing their part to help keep this country safe. But, if you think we can just sit back and wait for another 9/11 to happen and deal with it on our own turf then that just gives the terrorists more time, money and property to gather themselves and plan another attack in the US or other "organized" countries. Going after these zipperheads (watched Gran Torino over the weekend) on their own turf and disrupting their normal day of how to kill America is working, they've thwarted several terrorist attacks around the world and caught several of the top command in Al Qaeda and Taliban and I'm confident we will soon take down Bin Laden. I would really like to see more countries having the footprint we do in the Middle East though, I think we are about stretched to the max and don't like that, we could sure use some help....
Unless you subscribe to the notion that the US Government is responsible for 9/11??? How can an American suggest we end the war on terror?? You would feel a whole lot different if it was your family in the Towers that morning.
Then again, I guess that's why Obama is in office.... He promised to do most of those things, just too bad he doesn't know how to do it. Throwing Trillions of dollars at "change" is only going to cost us in the long run, once inflation catches up with this economy...... Taxes WILL have to go up to pay for all this, or has someone announced another way this reckless spending is going to be paid for??? He might be able to raise the deficit to 10 Trillion $$ during his reign and not raise taxes, but what is the next guy going to be stuck with???
Guantanamo Bay is a classic example of how this President works, act on a plan first and then come up with a plan after the act. Just doesn't work that way.
By the way, my kids did go to school today, but it doesn't sound like they will be watching any TV. The public spoke their view on this and school districts around the nation were busy answering the phones about this whole deal, and because of that, the format was changed to something the American people would be more likely to accept.
Flame away.....
