In 1980 the night before the Presidential election between Incumbent Jimmy Carter and Governor Ronald Regan, Carter's pollster Robert Caddell told Carter the truth on the flight back to Washington on Air-Force One that he was going to lose the election. He would not only lose, he would lose virtually every state in the Union. Carter wept upon hearing this news. Why had the popular Governor from Georgia fallen so far from public favor?
It was all about being weak in the spine and allowing Iran to hold our citizens hostage for almost two years. Ronald Reagan was perceived as strong and uncompromising. That leads us to the current President.
Barack Obama defeated a War Hero in John McCain. He said he would defend this country and be strong against terrorism and defend America. He is doing that in a way most people do not even know about. To bad his own party is so damn liberal that he can't even take the credit for it. President Obama in his first year in office has ordered more drone strikes in Pakistan then George Bush ever did.
The Obama administration has taken the extraordinary step of authorizing the targeted killing of an American citizen, the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is believed to have shifted from encouraging attacks on the United States to directly participating in them, intelligence and counter terrorism officials said Tuesday.
Mr. Awlaki, who was born in New Mexico and spent years in the United States as an imam, is in hiding inYemen. He has been the focus of intense scrutiny since he was linked to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood, Tex., in November, and then to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian man charged with trying to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Dec. 25.......NY Times
This selective use of drones to simply assassinate foreign nationals and enemy combatants to the United States is something Obama should be proud of. The Neo-cons should love this guy, but he can't even blow his own horn.
The liberal party he works for wants no part of this. I do!
Way to go Prez. Keep killing the bad guys and you will get my vote in re-election
