According to a Bloomberg poll of top investors, foreign investors believe Obama to be tougher on terrorism than Bush had been.
I am incredulous.
Remember the next time you hear or read about world leaders and investors talking down to the United States, gaze upon the incredible numbers
on who they think is tougher on terror.
President Obama RAN on running from the fight. It wasn’t until he had his president shoes on that he realized why the EVIL GOP machine operated in the manner that it did (See Guantanamo Bay, PATRIOT Act, etc.). President Bush never let another foreign attack come to U.S. soil from September 11th, which I know he is more proud of (per his memoirs) than anything else in his presidency.
Listening to the nuts on the far left has been comical. I believe it has been helpful in dragging the milquetoast-Hollywood types from the fringe left to the Obama left which has been greatly adjusted and realigned. His pragmatic moves can be lauded by those who idealize the idea of American compromise, and detested by purists who don’t actually participate (or get stuff moving) in politics.
When I say President Obama is pragmatic, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to invoke the knee-jerk, Epicurean, groundswell of emotional “feeling” that the bleeding hearts will beckon like a cobra’s hood. Remember, Obama is not a war president. He doesn’t want to be remembered as a war president. So let us not let him be remembered as one.
The good news is, of the U.S. investors polled, they knew that Bush was tougher on terror than Obama by more than 2-to-1.
