Like I said, I'm willing to give the President the benefit of the doubt on a LOT of issues based upon his performance to date. To put it another way, I respect and trust my Commander-In-chief to do the right thing, which I could NOT say of the prior occupant of that position. I doubt that I could say it about the alternative to this one, too. This drives a great deal of my thinking. Also, it is incumbent upon me to support the chain of command of which I am a part.
I also understand completely how such an issue could place him in an untenable position. For those at the very top of the descision-making process, things are SELDOM as cut-and-dry as they are to anonymous posters on Internet sites.
You make a lot of sense. Why and the heck are you still posting on this thread? ;)
