I like Obama myself and think he's doing a fine job! Doesn't mean I agree with all his policy decisions, that never happens with ANY president EVER for all the people all the time.
It has been suggested he is not getting the best recommendations from the best people, I disagree. For the most part, their just people some folks don't like. And then we wonder is he LISTENING to these recommendations? I have seen nothing to suggest his counsel on the war effort is anything less than the best the country has to offer! If he doesn't make a decision in 48 hours he is considered "wavering" and "undecisive". Gimme a break! The voices on what to do are many, the suggestions quite varied. PLEASE, take your time all ready! I like his considered and thoughtful approach when it comes to making an important decision like: Send in 40,000 troops or not? Send in more? Less? Let's not jump to any conclusions here I say! BUT people are dieing while he waits!!! Yeah, thats a drag, MORE people will die if he jumps to the wrong conclusion, it is "war" after all.
The "faults" of Obama, so often cited on THIS web site, ad nauseum, are largely without merit. In short, 90% of what you see here is BS spin, period! Those that dare to offer ANY kind of support for this or that Obama decision or policy are quickly ridiculed and labeled "Liberal". You could say that stems from a "herd mentality", maybe a circle jerk, Kool Aid drinkers, what ever the current negative label is the "herd" is using today to describe these so called "liberals". MABYE, they are the REAL independants amongst a bunch of replica independants!
I must say though:
THIS thread has been an exception. There has been some good dialog and not a lot of inflaming posts (until this one).
