I supported Obama in the primaries and general election campaign. The ideas that he expressed are far and away superior to the open greed and dishonesty of the Republicans.
But I must say I am not happy about the wars. He was elected to end the wars and bring the troops home. Instead I read today that:
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has announced plans to temporarily expand the U.S. Army by 22,000 troops. The move comes in response to the demands of the U.S. missions in Iraq and Afghanistan and will initially be for a period of three years.The additional troops will bring the total number of US soldiers to 569,000.
If he is successful in getting universal health care implemented then I am certain that most people will be forgiving about many of changes in his thinking that have taken place since he has become President.
But if he fails in getting universal health care implemented, then all bets are off for him and for the Democratic majority.
