I heard so much rhetoric from the Republican Conservatives about how Obama should give GW Bush credit for the surge that got us out of Iraq. Fox News has gotten so far right that I don't even consider them Conservatives or even factual any more. No one is all left or all right, Conservative or Liberal. I consider myself both.
Obama is my HOT pick today because he fulfilled his promise to stop the combat phase of the Iraq war. Our boys and girls, husband and wives, friends and family are coming home. Further, let us not forget that while doing a pretty good job of trying to keep pre-election promises, the President has had to deal with MASSIVE unexpected complications from the economy and natural disasters ( you know, oil spills and such). Republicans are quick to criticise lack of solutions to the overall meltdown that they spent 8 years achieving and lately have done all possible to keep it from being repaired just to avoid the blame they so rightfully deserve.
George W Bush is my NOT HOT pick because he let Cheney and others tell him what to do and took us into a war based on lies and false information. Over four thousand US Soldiers have died that should not have. Over 700 Billion dollars have been spent on a war we should not have been in. GW decided that Sadam Hussin had to go because he threatened his father when his father did not finish the first Iraq War. The greatest tragedy is the loss of our soldiers and countless Iraq citizens. We may never know how many really have died.
The money wasted needlessly on the entire folly should have been used to provide health care, education, housing, medical research, disaster relief, and so much more here at home.
We were already at war in Afghanistan (you know, now the longest war in our history). It is possible that if we had not gone to war in Iraq we would now be out of Afghanistan.
Wouldn't it be nice if all of our soldiers were home with their families and friends. Sadly, many are just to DEAD to do that!
We are not the rulers of the world. Our freedoms are based on principles of personal liberties that we seem to want to take away from everyone. The Iraq War that GW got us into has placed us in a position of the United States being hated throughout the world. Suspicion and hatred in this country are turning back the clock of progress and reversing the hands of time, and propelling us backwards to a time without all the freedoms our fallen died for. It's appalling!
Can we honestly say that we are safer from terrorist attack than we were before. I don't think so. Because of the war, many US Citizens of the Islamic faith have been ostracized in their communities. What happened to religious freedom? If they wanted to build a Catholic Cathedral near the Twin Towers location I bet there would not be pickets and problems.
(Even though Catholic priest have molested thousands of children in the United States)
The 9/11 tragedy should not be forgotten but we need to remember that there were men and women of all faiths in the Towers that day.
In conclusion...
President Obama=HOT!
G.W. Bush and his gang of thugs=NOT!
