Saturday Open Thread: Obama and Our National Security
Open discussion on Obama, Democrats, and our National Security.... What is your position? Where should our next president stand on these issues? Will Obama's current stance help or hurt his re-election chances?
If you were a candidate for President what would your platform be on this topic?
Thanks Darla
Obama Losing Dems on National Security at Critical Time
Published June 25, 2011 | FoxNews.com
The Obama administration tried to find solace in Friday's landmark votes on the Libya operation, holding up the fact that the House did not actually de-fund the mission as some semblance of an endorsement.
But the two votes Friday on Libya, coupled with the fierce backlash the president faced from his own party after announcing his Afghanistan withdrawal plan Wednesday, underscore the political trouble President Obama is in when it comes to national security. Though anti-war Democrats and anti-interventionist Republicans have long locked arms against U.S. military campaigns abroad, that bipartisan coalition is swelling -- in size and intensity.
