In Praise of Obama
Posted by rexrants on December 5, 2009
Obama needs some good press these days. I hate to give it to him, because he is so dangerous to this country. But gotta keep it real..
Three things I’ve seen lately that I like…
1. Obama putting a strict time limit on our presence in Afghanistan. Not that doing so is necessarily the best tactic. But I happen to believe that no matter how long we stay there (or anywhere in the Middle East) or how much we accomplish, within five minutes of us leaving all the gains will be lost. Who honestly believes we’re going to have an impact in that region? That this time it’s going to work? Fools, that’s who. So if Obama can keep his word, and I won’t be holding my breath, then his plan is the best for our troops. Senseless casualties.
2. Obama isn’t caving to the CBA. Refreshing.

”It’s a mistake to start thinking in terms of particular ethnic segments of the United States rather than to think that we are all in this together and we are all going to get out of this together.” — Very refreshing.
3. I thought I didn’t like him. But Robert Gibbs may not be that bad after all. Can’t imagine handling somebody like April Ryan any better.
