Ooh, so neophyte Bush can lock the door behind him? When did the regulations for president tighten?
9/11 changed nothing. That's a weird ass meme. We are under the same pressures and dangers as we have always been. If it's not the British hiring Hessian Mercenaries to bring us back in line it's Northern Aggression. If it's not Mexicans outnumbering our Texas outposts it's those uppity Canadians (seriously, they kicked our asses). Germany set plans to attack american soil, They couldn't follow up
Pearl Harbor though. Neither did the countless scares we had with the Russians and all the Nukes we've had laying around. LAX attempt, WTC I, and OK City. Again, I say, nothing's changed. Only the tactics coming out of some of our leaders mouths intent to scare you. America has always been sitting on a powderkeg. As such our leader has a very important job, always has. A President's first job is always to be Commander in Chief. It's been that way for the past 250 years. A hierarchy is in place to advise a President in military matters.
Plus, the primary half of the Democrats ticket has several decades of foreign policy, defense and military experience.
