He needs to demonstrate he is willing to properly resource the war in Afghanistan as he promised to do so many times during the presidential campaign last year. And he should realize that while the election outcome has not been ideal, it alone should not force the U.S. to pull up stakes in the country.

Now something else does. A succession of "range of the moment" policy and talk is what got him where he is now; what has always "worked" for him. He's expecting this "magic" to continue. Let's hope that will not have tragic consequences for the rest of us! "So why is he fumbling now?" — The even simpler answer is: he isn't. — What seemed expedient in March seems so no longer.

Obama is not a bad person he simply has an Ideology that is bad for the nation and totally out of step with American History at home and abroad. That ideology will continue to cause confusion and conflict for our nation.

Well, I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. Obama is no Messiah! No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh."" the folowing is a quote
