The foreign policy,right now,it's...good?or bad!
How you people now,that he is the best.Are there any facts?
Everything is based on words,even for Obama.The facts that we didn't see,are no facts.
The facts that we see,are the elongation of the people's will?Or the politicians will!

He can solve many of our national defense issues, purely on the basis of being the CinC of the US Armed Forces.
I also believe that if he is unable to get cooperation from Congress he will declare national bankruptcy, another power of the President.
If nothing else, at least an honest man will be in the office.
So this is it,the magic word,Commander of the Armed Forces!!

The Constitution of the United States gives to the Executive Branch (President and advisers) certain powers, among which are Commander in Chief (CinC) of the Armed Forces and the power to make some declarations on economic issues.

I strongly doubt it and i think it's fascinating how much the people here are behind Ron Paul - the same people who usually despise politicans, say Obama is awful, now follow one guy like stupid sheeple.
I will laugh hysterically, if Paul gets president and #s the USA up in the same manner as basically all presidents before him. WHY should he be different than the others? Because he says so? The same "He says, he knows, he will change" stuff, there was before with Obama, who was also celebrated as the 'saviour' of the USA?
It's very hard to end"wars",as we see,to move troops to a war theater it's easy,to move them back...they get use to it!

CinC does mean that he can give lawful orders to the Commanders of the various Branches of the Armed Forces.
Orders such as, Cease all military activity in your present theater of operations and return home.
His National Defense policy is just that; national defense, not international offense, which is what he have been practicing for the last 10+ years.
It means that as the President he can keep at least one promise, end the wars that we are involved in, considering that they are now undeclared, therefore illegal, and unaffordable.edit on 10-12-2011 by gamesmaster63 because: In addendum
