A Rare Thing

1. I saw this

post already in BOG, but I decided to post on the one in GD, anyway, just to give it a kick. To me, this point needs to be nailed home on a site that is supposedly dedicated to Democrats. We can have our disagreements, but it gets to be a little much once people start equating this administration with the predecessor simply because of a few disagreements they may have with foreign policy and what not, while overlooking other things that have happened under Obama's watch, such as roughly 41 straight months of job gains and the demise of Bin Laden. Under Bush ll, we lost jobs, plus he failed to nab Bin Laden in 2 terms as president. Obama had him killed within his 1st term.

Again, I don't agree with all of Obama's actions, but I genuinely believe that he is trying to do what's right. Unlike Bush ll, he comes off as a competent person for the job. I respect him for at least leaving it up to Congress regarding the Syria situation. It is easy for us on the sidelines to be Monday morning QBs and express what we would've did differently in his position, yet we don't fully know what goes on behind the scenes.

This is one reason why I think being a U.S. president is among the most thankless jobs in the world. Despite the pay, I would never want to be one.
