Is Obama nuts or what?

I don't know of any experts in foreign policy. There are only the experienced and inexperienced at foreign policy.Whatever Obama would or would not have done is irrelevant not because our country is in a war and the one who is in the oval office for the next four years is going to have to deal with that reality. I realize the Iraq war is unpopular but I veiw Pres. Bush as a hero because he has kept our country safe from terrorism since 9/11 in more ways that we'll ever know. I would be proud to have John McCain, a decorated war hero and experienced senator making foreign policy decisions for our nation.

I think there's 4,000+ U.S. Soldiers who might disagree with you about that not to mention about 3 in 4 Americans who will be voting this year. I don't feel us taking out Saddam makes us safer over here. I'd feel much safer if Bin Laden had been captured and Al Qaeda were wiped out in Afghanistan. In some ways Bin Laden has had more success than he could have expected after 911. People are so worried about him and Iraq and now Iran that our country is slowly falling apart from the inside out. I guess history will have to tell us down the road but Bush a hero, not in my book. In my book he has been the worst President I've seen in my lifetime.

You're entitled to your opinion but based on what I'm hearing from Republicans and Democrats alike, they won't be voting for Obama. I don't know where you get your figures from but I know a lot of vets, in fact several live in the building where I live, and my boyfriend fought in Vietnam and all of them plan to vote for McCain and all of them think we should have done what we did in Iraq and stay there until we win. The problem is that you are only thinking about yourself instead of the long haul and that's foolish and the President of this country can't afford to think only about the here and now. Obama hasn't got a clue about running this country or negotiating with world powers nor does he have any military background to support his perspectives. We didn't go to war because it was popular. We went to war because it was necessary to set free the people of Iraq and no one else was going to step in and right the wrong. If it were that popular, Bush wouldn't be facing all of the criticism he has. The problem is that the criticizers would be the first ones to tuck tail and run when we get attacked in the future. The really sad thing is for all of you who do so much criticizing would have been the very ones who opposed our founding fathers who stood up and fought for the freedoms that you all take for granted now. It's pathetic how spoiled and selfish the American people have become!

Yes they do. It has not escaped my notice that Congress, and especially the House would love to be able to dictate their demands to the president. Obama is just the kind of patsy that they would love to have in office as they figure he would play ball just to get along. The whole thing is nothing more than an attempt to grab power and put someone in office who will do as he is told.

That, and the fact that the old crony Democrats figured that if he actually got elected, he'd be so overwhelmed by the reality of the job and who's really in charge that they'd be able to lead him around by the nose. I can guarantee you that Ted Kennedy and his buddies don't have the least bit of loyalty or admiration for Obama. They are only using this guy to get what they want.

I certainly wouldn't want someone as naive and idealistic as Obama in office. That is a scary thought! I want a realist in office who knows the score and has experience in war. I don't want a textbook lieutenant leading this nation into disaster. I want someone who has a clue about reality.

I know Obama is a 1st term senator who thinks there are 57 states. The committees that he is on mean nothing... he has no time to do committee work as he is too busy campaigning. His only reason for running as a 1st term senator is simply because he is black... he has no qualifications whatsoever, and has accomplished very little in his life for his age. In the case of Lincoln and Washington, not much need for much FP experience as we were pretty isolationist then. As to Clinton... bad example... Impeached, convicted of perjury, bombed more countries than any other peacetime president, used cruise missile imperialism as his foreign policy, and generally brought shame and disgrace to the presidency... and that is just a few examples. Clinton WAS a bad president.
