This is why our media sucks. Why aren't there any questions in response like, "How exactly are you going to do this?"
"Do you expect the rest of the world, including terrorists who see blowing all of us to kingdom come a holy thing, to just follow suit?"
"Who in Russia are you going to negotiate with?"
"With what are you planning to negotiate?"
"What will this negotation look like? Hey Putin, I promise I won't shoot you if you don't shoot me. Don't worry, I trust you. And believe me when I say, that as the leader of this whole Hope Hype, you can trust me!"

I am now completely speechless that people actually believe this man when he says these things.

I don't know what exactly he means by hair-trigger alert. The only one who can authorize nuke release is the President. This is making an issue out of nothing because it sounds good to certain donors.

I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt on the FCS and QDR comments. There's a lot of lessons from the first 6 years of the GWOT that need to be digested before we spend a ton of money to reset the Army with a new generation of equipment. Still, the tone of the add sounds a lot less like the reasonable "we're going to be smarter on defense spending" and a lot more like "we're going to get control of these weapons-obsessed fools over at the Pentagon."

Because I don't want to be too cynical about politics. I think Obama is a good guy trying to do good. That doesn't mean I agree with him, but I don't feel a need to jump to the worst conclusion possible.

And like I said, there's a legit case to be made for slowing down on FCS and re-examining some of the development assumptions.

And what do pray do you base this on?

I have seen nothing of the guy that is good or not self serving. He is a racist at heart and personally I feel he wants to divide this country even more, not bring it together.

He wants the withdrawal of our troops from Iraq before the job is finished, leave Iran to do what they will, and wants to end our nuclear defense programs. Good guy trying to do good things my ass.

May I respectfully submit that B. Hussein Obama is not a good guy, would do nothing for Our defense, or Our armed forces, and would in fact attempt to cripple all progress made thanks to the bravery, service, sacrifice and shed blood of Our Military.

And X, I hope you are having a great day today, b/c if this tool is elected IMHO, those good days as a free American could be numbered.

My time is very limited these days. So I come here to see what my buds are saying. If I wanted to hear your left wing liberal crap on my limited INTERNET time I would surf a different Forum. We all know what he is. Your positive opinion of him is a wast of space around here.
