He tiptoed around him, for sure.  We appeared weak, and it is possible 
that we are paying for that today.

Agreed.  We have to use every option, not rely on any one thing.

I don't dismiss Obama for his platitudes, I dismiss him for the same 
reason I dismiss Hillary or Biden or Dean or Kerry...just more of the 
same..he's simply more charismatic than any of them and because of his 
ethnic background and upbringing, people see him as being different..I 
just don't buy that..not that he is evil or anything like that, I just 
don't see him as being the Messiah President.  Actually, he meets the 
criteria for being the Antichrist more than a messianic politician.
I honest to God really don't mean to stir things up here, but it is 
something that I don't think anyone has mentioned in all this 
silliness...you gotta admit, the guy definitely casts a spell on folks 
and is super charismatic...lol..(personally, I doubt that Bush or Obama 
or Clinton is the antichrist, but you can find multiple websites touting 
such)
