    Word it however you want.  Obama won twice because most of the people wanted peace ...and healthcare changed.

    You are the one who missed the point , not surprisingly.

     

    OBAMA won the election, TWICE.

     

    1. A vast majority wanted peace..no more wars, using OUR soldiers . 

    The minority cannot vote to send troops if the majority or the President doesn't want it  (Thank God McPain and Robney lost )

     

    2. The majority of voters wanted healthcare reform.   Not only did it pass through congress, it was upheld by the supreme court.

    Yes the minority has a say, and can stop many things. But my original point was.  The minority wanted horror stories, they got Love letters.

    Maybe you missed this.


    Or maybe you missed our engagements in Africa and the middle east since Obama expanded the war on terror.  A vote for Obama was a vote for more war.  Any other suggestion is ridiculous.

    You are mad.   Obama has reached out for peace around the world. 

     Obama did expand the war on terror.  If attacked, he reacts.  I hope he continues.

     

    But you voted for The Bushes started it all. They started it all.

    I wasn't old enough to vote for Bush I and didn't vote for W. 

    Dude, you are a cheerleader, and that is fine.  You can be one, just don't blow smoke that he is some sort of Peace loving peacenik, he has a kill list and has bragged about being "good at killing people". He is the first president to kill an American Citizen via drone, and targeted children in Libya.  there was no tactical advantage to killing Ghaddafi's grandchildren, or Al Alaki's 16 year old son.

    Rico,, Are you saying we should not kill the leaders attacking us ?

    Are you saying Ronald Reagan should not have bomb Ghaddafi's house ?    When he did ?

    You, of all people, a gun lovers, and assault weapons lover.  Would you rather send soldiers when we can just take out the leaders, then they would have to start over again . I think not.

    If you knew your history, you'd know that during WW11 we had a choice of either sending 200,000 soldiers into Japan, because they would NOT surrender even after we took all the islands.  

    Our leaders knew that 100,000 U.S. soldiers would die if we did., so Truman dropped two bombs on them. It killed a lot of civilians too, BUT, 100,000 US soldiers were spared and they surrendered.  He could have bombed Toyko, but wanted take out factories also, while minimizing casualties .

    Sometimes in war there are innocent lives lost. The point is to minimum that loss, like Obama is doing.

    Voting for Obama over McCain was far from a vote for more war.
