President Obama is casting around for a position that will get him re-elected for a second term….and it is staring him in the face, if he will only act .
When he ran for election he promised me and millions of other voters that he would get our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. He has not and he is losing the support of those who put him in office. What should have been his first objective was moved to the rear of the line and replaced with health care, etc. Now his aim is to create jobs and protect medicare and social security, all worthy programs but not the first need we wanted so desperately.
The two wars he inherited from the Bush administration has drained our coffers. Iraq cost us more than a trillion dollars. The war in Afghanistan is funding a corrupt government and millions are being wasted funding the building of infrastructures in that land…money that is sorely needed in our own country. What’s more, their people do not want our support and they want us to get out. The US has lost its objective and we are not winning the hearts of the Afgans. In fact, they hate us, and have said so. The US must get out immediately.
President Obama is losing his base support simply because he has not done what he had promised when he ran for election. the polls show his drift is downward and it will continue unless he fulfills his pledge to the American people. It is time for action now.
i have been trying to strike a balance for myself - realizing that obama has been hampered from doing much of anything with this republican congress . . . but also being disappointed in his utter lack of leadership. i was HOPING for more CHANGE.
