Dobro, I take it that you won't be giving money to the RNC!!. I differ on your thoughts about McCain and Palin. Ahh politics. I bet a Palin book would out sell a McCain book! Anyhow, In some way you are right but also this has been mishandled by the last four presidents. Obama deserves a chance to screw it up too. I hope he doesn't. I really hope he and the military get it right. I am sometimes surprised there aren't more problems considering some of the teachings of various extremist groups.
Let me be clear. Mr. Obama inherited two wars.
Now it is Mr. Obama's war. He didn't ask for it but since he wanted to be President he knew he would have to deal with it. I pray he is successful. I wish we weren't there but I do not want to see a repeat of 9/11 again either.
JoB, you said "we pay our presidents for life because of the hard choices they have to make on our behalf". I sometimes think we pay for the rest of our lives because of the hard choices they make on our behalf.
You may be disappointed with the decision but I am proud of our country and the men and women who defend it.
