Editors Note from Political Common Sense for America Newletter...
...as most of you know, I have refused to jump on the band-wagon of bashing Pres. Obama. I’ve been waiting for facts to answer the question; “Is he doing his job?”
The President of the United States is first and foremost the Commander and Chief of our military. His primary duty is to enforce the laws and protect the citizens of this country. Based on the terrorist act at Fort Hood, and now the attempted attack on the flight into Detroit, there is no question that Pres. Obama is failing at his prime directive – Protect Your People! So, logic has it that the President isn’t doing his job!
Let’s look at the facts: There were more than enough warning signs of instability and Al-Qaeda connections prior to the shooting at Fort Hood. The terrorist who failed in his attempt to bring down the jet bound for Detroit had ties to Yemen and was identified as dangerous by his own father. The data was there, so how did our system fail to protect us?
The buck has to stop with the President. Even Generals run inspections regularly. Instead of being on TV every day, or meddling with Capitol Hill, why hasn’t the President been improving our inter-agency communication and running drills to prevent just such tragedies? Instead of talking about Global Warming in Copenhagen, he should have been insisting on tighter airport security.
President Obama, it’s time you stopped acting like a Senator and started acting like a President!
