Obama's Neglect of the Military

I'm worried about the  President's "absence", particularly now at this critical point in his young presidency. Precious little has been done about Gitmo and even less about improving the military situation in Afghanistan. In view of last week's massacre at Fort Hood, our soldiers overseas need to know that their commander-in-chief has not forgotten them and will, hopefully, send reinforcements soon. This will improve their moral. Keeping a low profile. now is not advisable. It's important to our nation that Obama shake off his lethargy an become a true leader.

    " And don't forget that Michelle is hula-hooping with the poor kids at some 3rd rate elementary school in a Washington suburb. These people are clueless. Obama will destroy this country and our freedom (now singular) as we know it. If we don't wake up and elect a few more reasonable people in the upcoming elections (Congressional), we're doomed to become the next socialistic capital of the world. "

    " He can't shake off his lethargy and be a leader because he is NOT a leader..that's the whole problem. "

    " Maybe you should do some fact checking before speaking about military neglect. Obama signed the largest military defense budget the USA has ever had just a few weeks ago, in the tune of $680 billion dollars. Thats more than all the other governements in the world combined. "

    Oh yea! He's been busy trying to FORCE government health care down the public's throat!!!
    He's been sending reinforcements to New Jersey and Virginia for the political races but it's too late there also!!! "
