I&#039;d have to say Afghanistan has always been the priority for Obama and he has always talked about funding that fight properly so I&#039;m a little shocked you&#039;re shocked about any escalation in spending. His view has been very clear as long as you listen to him and not the media recaps. I know you understand he&#039;s a politician so I&#039;m also a little surprised you expect so much from his speeches. I think he&#039;s doing exactly what his job calls for. When I voted for &quot;change&quot; I didn&#039;t vote for a change in how to be a politician, I voted for a change in the focus on priorities. And in looking for proof of that change I was encouraged by changes at the SEC in this article: <a href="http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1202428712112" target="_blank">http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=12024287121...</a> The media obviously has skewed the expectation level on what we should be getting from this &ldquo;change&rdquo;, but that&rsquo;s what they do, hope you aren&rsquo;t getting sucked into thier game of hype and sensationalism...
