I'll bet he will find the same thing among the members of the Taliban and Al Quaeda. Mr. Obama will find that people from Pennsylvania are not the only ones who will cling to their guns and religion.

However not putting "boots on the ground"on our borders as Bill from Tampa wrote, is unforgivable. What part of the word "Border War" is not understand. When anyone is trying to kill us as in the word "war" on our border, in our streets, home invasion, gang warfare, kidnappings, mass graves and untold people missing you shoot to kill or you will be killed. The entire sitution is anarchy. I am greatly shocked by H.L. Security Dir. Janet Napolatano's inability to act effectively on this issue. She was the Gov' of AZ and "wrote the book" on border security because of the murdering going on over two years ago. A fence was built becasue of her . Then the fighting began. An electrified fence was on the drawing board . Naturally the animal rights groups when crazy over this suggestion ."Animals may die." Then you have Hillary telling the world, "that more has done on our side of the border since the guns and money laundering come from our side." Yes there is duplicity here, it cut deeps. But when your country is bleeding and coming apart at the seam you don't turn around and blame your country and cut her off at the knee. You act immedicately to support the thousands of men an women who are putting their lives on the line everyday from the numerous land enfrocement agency's . I have to wonder that the rest of world must think we are surely crazy here when we can't even secure our own borders while we stablizing Iraq. (for seven years. ) So yes we have allowed it to happen , saying one thing and doing another. Duplicity. Of the four Cartels that now fighting for control over the narrowing "choke points" , it is reported that thier each have army's of over 100,000 foot soldiers. Many are former miltary, X- law inforcement . Here , we believe that the border should closed immediately. Let the Mexican side that recently sent in thousands of miltary troops to secure their side do their job. We will clear-up our own back yard since we all know dulpicity cut deep. While we are doing this we must also also electrify the fence and complete it. Texas must be more aggressive addressing the problem there. Carol in AZ I agree with his policy in Af.

First it was 17,000 then an additional 4,000 troops when will it end? This President within the first two years of his first term will committ more troops and see more body bags then President Bush ever did. It's time to bring back American Nationalism.

Obama plan should incoperate plan "B" similar to the way the USA defeated Japan finally.Also,Pres.Obama should be securing the USA North and especially the Southern border with Mexico where it has been reported by the news media that Islamic terrorists are now mixing with the Mexicans while crossing into the USA. Troops , tanks and attack helicopters should be deplored along the USA and Mexican border.Will some one wake up homeland security to do a better job in securing the USA borders,or is she to busy putting her make up on..
