Obama Campaign Issue

Obama made a campaign issue about the national debt going up six trillion dollars under President Bush’s watch. In case he forgot and thought other people did, Muslim terrorists declared war on us and we went after them. That was the price of the war that has kept us safe at home under Bush’s watch. And for the sake of those who don’t know, Muslim terrorists have been waging war, in different degrees of intensity, against everything that is not Muslim from the time of Mohammed in the seventh century. They’ve been waging war against the United States for at least 40 years. We finally got the wakeup call on 9/11 and went after them. President Bush kept them pretty busy on their own turf.

I’m sure a lot of people wouldn’t want me to be president because I would go one further. Just like you hold the ringleader of a trouble making gang responsible to keep his people in line, I would do that with the terrorists. I would appoint the nation that is most outspoken - in this case Iran - about wanting to destroy us, to be our guardian. I would put them on notice that if we are hit with a surprise attack anywhere in the world we will strike one of their cities - preferably Teheran. I might be kind enough to give them 48 hours to evacuate the city to show that we are not the barbarians they are that murder innocent citizens.

One last thing I would like to say about President Bush is the good-humored way he handled unfair criticism. Never did he respond in kind to the way some of his critics made remarks about him.
