I think President Obama needs a lot of staffers around him so that he is shielded. He needs people to do research for him so that he looks like he knows what he is doing. It is evident that he is very inexperience, especially in the foreign policy realm. We will see how he does with the G-20. I do not have high hopes.
There should be term limits and a salary cap in Congress. They should not be able to vote for a pay increase on their own behalf. They should want to work for the people instead of the prestige.
A revision of the tax code should be done, it should be easier it stead of being complicated.
We should pull ourselves out of the UN, lets see how they will react when we get out, no money is coming in from us and we boot them out of the US. (hopefully, it will collapse)
We should start fighting wars to win, like we did in WWII.
This is a major wake up call for the president and his foreign policy crew. The very fact that he has not said anything is disturbing. Is he waiting for N. Korea to contact him or shoot off their rocket? Or is he waiting for another country to react, Japan is worried and taking precautions. Our military says it will shoot down the rocket if it comes down to that, but why should it. The President should be taking this situation very seriously but he is more worried about getting more power to the Treasury and campaigning for his bill. It seems that all this President can do is campaign and create groups that are working for him to solve problems. And if the problems are solved by those groups he will take credit. He has a big ego and no intelligence that is a bad combination.
This rhetoric that President Obama and Sec. of Homeland Security is spewing is hurting the war on terrorism effort. Terrorist do not care about political correctness, they will still kill to advance their objectives. This rhetoric is just showing how incompetant and weak this administration is. It takes away the importance of the fight is against this terrorist threat. It seems that they don't care to win this fight, they just want to live peacefully with these terrorists. It cannot happen, they want to destroy the west and with this President he is making it easier.
This is just another test for President Obama. The Russians are testing the waters. And its not Medvedev thats calling all the shots in Russia, its Putin. And Putin knows that Obama is not a strong President in the foriegn policy sphere. He sees Obama as a young child that he can mold into what he wants. Russia wants its super power status back and they know it is right time to get it back with the US power waning.
We need to hold those terrorist not officially charged because they may have information that the United States needs to stop other terrorist cells. It is vital to our national security and our intelligence gathering. Our prison systems are not equipped to hold suspects like them. I personally do not want terror suspects in my back yard. It would be a big national security risk. Its easy enough for illegal aliens to get into our country, could you image if we were holding terror suspects in our prison and other terrorist cells new about it. What would stop them from trying to get them out any way they can.
Well, the very fact that they are terror suspects, captured during war they do not have the privilage of being put through our judicial system. That is why we have a seperate court for that.
I agree, we should have term limits on Congress and a salary cap as well. They should want to work for the American people for free, but in this day and age all they want is power and money. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I agree, I think Geitner's would be the first to go.
I did not realize that the President had enough time to fill out his bracket. Because I remember not too long ago he stated that he did not have enough time to focus on the economy and foreign policy. Wow, now I know where the President's priorities lie, while our Super Power status is fading our president will always find time to do trivial things.
