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.

Obama overturns Bush's environmental folly...

Tuesday, President Obama righted a great wrong perpetrated by former President Bush in the final days of his administration. Bush had basically circumvented the Endangered Species Act by modifying the law saying that government agencies could determine for themselves whether something they wanted to do like build a dam, or clear a forest was going to harm an endangered species without having to consult with the U.S. Fish and wildlife service or the National Marine Fisheries Service. Putting the decision-making process in the hands of bureaucrats instead of scientists.

This was one of the more heinous acts committed by the Bush administration, and I'm glad to see that President Obama has wasted no time in making this right!

Taking a bigger lead

Looks like yesterday Barack Obama has taken a bigger lead by sweeping North Carolina and "almost" taking the lead in Indiana, which few were expecting him to show even that respectably here in the hoosier state. I would have liked to seen Mr. Obama take Indiana as well, but I guess this is going to have to be drawn out a little bit longer. He has now stated though that he's going to begin campaigning in states other than just the Primary states that are left to win. This is a definite sign that he's planning on winning the nomination, otherwise why spend money campaigning against John McCain?

It's my personal opinion that Barack Obama is the candidate offering the best hope of repairing the damage that's been done to the moral fabric of this country over the past seven years. John McCain is just another George W. Bush, with the same idea that military confrontation is the only way to handle everything...and Hillary Clinton will bankrupt this country that's already in dire trouble with healthcare and economic plans that just don't make any sense whatsoever.
