I feel a LOT safer now.
Obama must be a great fisherman. That is why he likes the new catch and release program for terrorists. Just a sport, nothing serious.
When we get hit, how will he blame it on President Bush?
My own answer...Bush made them mad and we deserved it.
For anyone who read the last paragraph of the Washington Post article - in which Obama says, “As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals” - recognize that Lincoln went to the lengths of suspending Habeas corpus, and FDR suspended many rights during WWII. While it is quite possible that both Presidents went too far, I also don’t think either war would have been won with Obama’s approach.
War requires a few sacrifices of rights and privileges. And the reality is that President Bush required very few such sacrifices on the part of the American people.
Personally, I believe that Obama has largely abandoned much of our safety while misunderstanding many of our ideals.
What rights of haveas corpus and due process"? This is absurd. Only a lawyer could impute these rights upon enemy combatants who operate under sharia law.
He’s been Pres for nearly a week now....has he made good on his promise to catch OBL????????? Has he fixed the economy???? Has he fixed the schools, roads, and what about the high crime in our big cities??????? NO he hasn’t fixed anything...his is a FAILED presidency.

The first American President who was raised a Muslim was sworn in Tuesday, and the war against militant Islam is already over. Pretty quick action.
