Do you want to be stabbed or do you want to be burned alive at the stake?  

In France, in my school we were almost all (~90%) for Obama. Don't hate this post, was just saying.

The epitome of ignorance.

Well if the next 4 years are anything like the last 4, I wouldn't say that's ignorant at all.

Implying Obama actually caused all of that.

Pulling troops out of the Middle East while the US is being targeted by those countries is considered retreat, especially while it makes our country vulnerable and the new Al Qaeda leader specifically stated that "America must die." In case you haven't noticed, or don't know people currently in service, the US signed off as the "police of the world" in the UN agreement after World War I. Right now, we are losing the war. No other country is here to help us, which the alliance of the UN agreement agreedon doing. Without sufficient troops, a commander cannot execute missions effectively. We're kind of at a loss from many different views, but this is really not the answer if you ask me..

I don't think the troops should be pulled, but they were sent there on all the wrong reasons in the first place, for revenge.

Whether we pull out or not is not going to change the fact that Al Qaeda is going to attack the US. Even with the US Military out in these hot areas Al Qaeda still have schemes and plans to attack the country directly through crude and effective terroristic acts. Will it ever come to a military face off between Al Qaeda and US Troops? No. So regardless of us being out here overseas, I think a lot can be better spent on fortifying weak areas in security that the US faces. A lot more can be done stopping these terroristic acts and attacks in our own country rather than having troops out there in their turf. Because to put it in short for those of you that may lack knowledge or experience on this, deployed out here isn't easy. And what I mean by "easy" is the fact that identifying insurgents (enemies) from normal civilians since they can switch either way and rules of engagement states we aren't allowed to fire on unarmed civilians, is extremely difficult. So rather than spending time away from family to go around on a wild goose chase, why not prevent the ACTUAL realistic methods Al Qaeda will be using....

Not trying to argue with any of you guys. Just stating from experience and bringing in another perspective.  

Damn extremists..
At least Obama won't **** up my country as Romney would.

Very accurate. People hate on Obama even though no one has entered (2008) the presidency with such a bad situation since FDR.

Very insightful thanks for the new perspective!  

There really needs to be a filter on this website where you can block all politics related posts. I really hate the internet, its so flaming liberal and it keeps rustling my jimmies at this time of year.  

Ikr... Politic subjects always ends by a fight...

Not exactly. While his statements are rather hyperbole, the predictions he posted were are a highly exaggerated version of Obama's actions. Our economy did remain in a poor state even after he promised to fix it when running for his first term. His personal thoughts on health care being free and all of these required taxes/services are stepping closer similar to socialism. By heavily taxing high income individuals, and giving more to less fortunate people, he is effectively lowering the gap between the upper and lower class.

I honestly thought Romney would do better at fixing the economy. Having a more business oriented background, and Obama's failure to improve the current state of it, I would have voted for Romney.  

in my opinion both are not suitable for being president.
obama hasn't yet made any change regarding the USA in the past 4 years, there hasn't been any thing new till now i am still saying YET . so, that doesn't mean george bush was good for the USA he lost some allies he wasn't doing for the best!  

I was so ticked off to hear that he won again.
