Quote of the Day
"The president is always demanding that major pieces of legislation be rushed through Congress with little debate and little time to read the legislation. But when it comes to our national security, Barack Obama seems incapable of making tough decisions.
Had the media done a better job of vetting Obama, perhaps more voters would have thought twice about putting a man in the Oval Office who voted “present” more than 100 times in the Illinois State Legislature. Even Joe Biden warned us during the primary campaign. Biden said in 2007 that Obama wasn’t ready to lead and that the presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training. Obama is learning the hard way that he may have been able to get away with indecision on the campaign trail, but that the president can’t vote “present.” It’s a tragedy that one man’s weakness is putting more American lives in harm’s way."
