Followed closely with yes he does hate America, I mean seriously, it makes no sense to even attempt to find common ground with you, you obviously aren't looking for common ground, just a place to rant and rave, and huff and puff. One makes it much harder to find the other, but you're so I don't know, blinded by emotion I guess it is, that you can't see that.

Emotional, yes. What he did at Fort Hood was a slap in the face to every person who ever wore the uniform, IMHO. I cannot EVER respect a president that did that.
I don't have to work with him. IF I had that chance, I could IF we both were working for the betterment of the country and not just trying to push one agenda and name calling the other.

You think it's easy to decide if he should commit more troops to Afghanistan, he isn't sending more vehicles, or guns pan, he's sending more bloody humans to a war that may or may not even be winnable, where they may or may not die. I don't think it's an inability at all, the man is taking his time to make the right decision, not some reactionary, more troops are going to win this war thing. Remember Vietnam? Yeah sending 'help' as you put it really worked wonders there now didn't it?

It's very simple, the commander over there says, "we need more troops if we want to win." At that point you do 1 of 3 things... Dismiss him and put someone else in because you have no trust in him.... send troops immediately because you trust the commander's recommendation that it is winnable... or you withdraw and end the war.
I could live with either one of those 3. I cannot respect Obama's decision to politicize and wait months to make a decision.... either send in reinforcements and help those there or withdraw.... he shows no decisiveness as a president and in turn getting people killed, maimed and lowering moral.
