What did you vote for him to do? Turn us completely socialist? Completely crash our economy? Make sure we are liked by the rest of the world at all costs?
Nay.
When I voted for him, I wanted a few things in particular.
- The War on Terror shifted from Iraq to Afghanistan
- Close down Gitmo
- Some sort of Heathcare reform. I don't really care how minute. I just care that there's a step in the right direction.
Aside from that, anything else I can think of that I wanted would have just been gravy.
So you want terrorists on American soil? To get the same rights you have?
Our healthcare system is not broke, why in the world do you want the govt taking over our healthcare?
It only took him about a year to decide to send more resources to Afghanistan, not bad.
1) No, I don't want terrorists having the same rights as I do. But to send them in exile somewhere that's not even on American soil, and the jurisdiction is kind of funky, is, well, not the best way to do things in my opinion. Build a Gitmo like facility somewhere else. Alaska's pretty damn isolated; build a new Gitmo facility there.
2) Ok, about the healthcare deal. It's a great thing if you have it(which I do, thankfully), but if you can't afford it, the system looks at you and says, "Tough cookies". Yes, you can go to an ER. However, you will most likely end up going broke if you don't have health insurance.
