Obama on National Security 5/21/2009

Today, President Obama has re-affirmed my belief that voting him in as President of the United States of America was a good and sound decision. Today, he did what he does best...he instilled in me a sense that he can lead this country back onto a path of true justice and good moral standing. He spelled out, in simple to understand terms that what has transpired over the last eight years was flawed and wrong in it's execution, if not it's intentions, and that the U.S. government would once again operate as a single and whole entity rather than just the Executive branch operating as the sole executor of the will of the American people.

In hearing in recent days the assertions that Mr. Obama ordered the closing of the Gauntanamo Bay prison without considering the problems it would cause, I was hoping that he would respond to these accusations. He did, with style. You could tell that those who were making these accusations simply wanted to pretend that "Gitmo" doesn't exist. They wanted us all to just "leave it alone", and let those detained there simply fade into obscurity and eventually die of old age! That cannot be allowed to happen, and President Obama has made it clear that he will not let it happen.
