WHO is protecting America? President Obama has been prowling the globe since becoming our fearful leader, apologizing for America’s mis-steps since its conception. He is spending a “gazillion” dollars…. trillions won’t be enough, and making “changes” that will negatively impact Americans. Given all he is doing, what scares me the most is his lack of respect for the main reason any President is elected…to protect the people of these United States. That is quite evident considering his stand on interrogation of terror suspects during the Bush administration. Flipping his previous decision, he is now considering prosecution against those who said the techniques were legally acceptable.
With all the President has elected to “change” during his administration, is it necessary to dwell on techniques used against those who perpetrated one of the most horrendous acts against America? Maybe the President has forgotten, we the people of the United States were attacked, not the other way. The families who lost loved ones in this attack can no longer enjoy their presence. Why does the President of these United States seem more concerned with the well being of terrorists who attack us, than the protection of the people who elected him to office? Obviously, President Bush was very concerned, and using those techniques, was able to keep us from being attacked again. There is ample proof the information received from these combatants thwarted future attacks from occurring on his watch, but that information has been withheld.
When will our President turn his attention to the most important aspect of his job? When will he realize the American people expect to be protected, and portraying America as “soft” to world leaders who hate America; and telling terrorists they will be treated admirably if caught attacking us is not making U.S. citizens feel safe under this administration!
