Security

To me the main duty of the President of the US is to keep the country safe by providing a military & making good non-partisan decisions.

I was not happy with a lot that President Bush (the second) did economically, he spent way too much & compromised too much (in my opinion) with the democrats; but he did protect this country & in my opinion made it safer.

Now P.O. (for those of you who haven't figured it out is President Barrack Obama) makes the country safer by releasing the "torture memos" that were supplied by P.B.'s justice department.  P.O. releases these for what purpose ? Too tell our enemies the extent we will go to to get info from terrorist?  Or to embarrass the P.B. administration?

It seems to me by prosecuting the men who gave these opinions (I know he has said he wouldn't / would /wouldn't / would in typical P.O. form); you will not get valid opinions for intelligence findings.

Then he is (/ is not /is/ is not) releasing the terrorists from Gitmo to our country since no other country wants them; how is this helping the security of the US?

So far P.O. is failing (IMO) to perform his most important function.

ORIGIN late Middle English : from Old French securite or Latin securitas, from securus ‘free from care’ (see secure )

Security

What is the balance between being safe as a country & preserving our liberties?  How do we feel about an obviously guilty crook getting off so others can not be railroaded into jail?

Obama has appointed security people that are against many of the techniques that keep us safe for the past 7 years.  Will this lead to as much safety or less?

Most people will not even notice his appointments; is it only Grandparents, who have the time to notice, that care?

Obama appointed numerous good appointments for jobs like state, etc. but in my opinion has made a bad mistake in his CIA, Justice, & Security Advisors choices.  Many errors are self correcting but this error could bring about a huge cost, I hope I'm wrong & they will put country first over their political opinions ("Bush was always wrong" crowd).

Different subject: $1,000,000,000,000 is a lot of money!  This means that the national debt will increase by 10% a year!
