    I'll take a Pres that has served in the military over one that organized protests and cuts military benefits any day. What's your favorite koolaid ? Obama or democrat socialist flavored? I bet you have a Obama t shirt and portrai you yank your crank too.

    Who deserves more blame when military actions go wrong. A president that gets congressional approval for that action? The president that uses executive order for that action?

    Neither Romney nor Ryan has served in the military.

    Obama has organized no protests against the military. His proposed budget for fiscal year 2012 increases the overall Veterans Affairs budget by more than 10 percent. It provides new benefits for veterans’ caregivers, including health care and mental health services, and invests nearly $1 billion in VA services for homeless veterans and those at risk of becoming homeless. How is this cutting veterans benefits?

    He was referring to bush so was I. Obama is looking at making military personnel help pay for their medical? And I would consider divulging tactics that spec ops use is a military blunder. Socialism is when the govt takes from the people working for a living to give to the lazy fucks that don't want to work for a living. Like these good for nothing but living off the govt tit democrats I'm surrounded by. Seems like dems like to keep their supporters stupid, give them what they want , and tell them what they want to hear so they'll keep voting for them. Farming the vote. His campaign motto should be "democrats, living off the republican tit but to stupid to realize it"
    Obama’s Watch: 39 Months, 69 Percent of Afghan War ...
    ... spin and seek news that’s ignored or under ... began tracking these killings, 54 U.S. soldiers ... 64 Percent of U.S. Military Deaths in Afghanistan Happened on Obama’s Watch
    cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-s-watch-39-months-69...
    Remember how the media broadcast the death of every serviceman/woman when Bush was in office? Why not do the same with the current SOS in office?
    Obamas even running his campaign like the country. He spent 59 million last month and only took in 49 million. He's one of those that like to write checks and Hope his ass can cash them later. From hope and change to hoping for change.

    That sounds real nice, but that's not the way it happens. At least not according to the May 2012 editorial in The New York Times, which is which is far from being a Fox News clone. And the Daily Kos ran the article also with not so complementary comments. And the Daily Kos is not a Bill O'Reilly fan either.

    Here is one paragraph from the New York Times Editorial titled "To Much Power For a President". They seen to know a different President Obama than you and Mastermind.
    "It has been clear for years that the Obama administration believes the shadow war on terrorism gives it the power to choose targets for assassination, including Americans, without any oversight. On Tuesday, The New York Times revealed who was actually making the final decision on the biggest killings and drone strikes: President Obama himself. And that is very troubling."

    Much. First it is outside the expertise and perview of a president. He has neither the training or experiance to make tactical decisions. He should give strategic direction on national objectives. Actually a 4 star shouldn't be ordering it either. It is a theater or battlefield decison. NOT comparing BHO to Hitler in any way but the fact that Hitler took over tactical planning and after that Germany lost iniative and most battles. Mostly it was due to placing assets in the wrong place and not allowing field commanders to make decisions dictated by circumstance. This has been proved time and again. LBJ did the same thing in Vietnam. You are USAF, correct? What lessons were you taught from the Vietnam war? I took ROTC and was to be commissioned in 1975 and I remember them vividly.
    Finally he exposes himself as a combatant and is a legitimate target of war. That should NEVER be the position of BHO or ANY president.
