He has hit so many chords that we Americans needed to hear. I especially loved the quotes:
"We are the party of Roosevelt, we are the party of Kennedy. So don't tell me the democrats won't defend this country. Don't tell me the
democrats won't keep us safe."
"You don't defeat a terrorist network that operates in 80 countries by occupying Iraq".
"You can't truly stand up for Georgia when you have strained America's oldest alliances".
-Obama
Thank you for putting it so eloquently for me.

Let me correct Obama and his misguided quotes which many, including you (nothing personal), have taken bait, hook, line and sinker.
First off, sad to say, but the Modern Democrat/Socialist Party is NOT the Party of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, nor John Frederick Kennedy Jr. Ever
since Lyndon Baines Johnson, the Democrat Party has developed into the very definition of the Downfall of American Society. The Democrat Party has had
the Dirtiest, most Naive, and most Morally Corrupt Presidents in Office, in the History of the United States of America. The Democrat Party started
going downhill when one of their own had our own President Assassinated. Ever since then, they have done such great things as launch a "War" which
they dictated the terms of, and as such lead to the Death of 50,000 Americans, and a loss. They have given away the Panama Canal, which Americans bled
and died for. Given Missile Guidance Technology to China. Abandoned our Military, even Captive Service Personnel, because they felt 18 Casualties were
far too many. Pulled back, not short of a Half-a-Dozen times, our manhunt for the very Terrorist leader who then managed to Murder over 3,000
Americans not 7 Years Ago. This is the same Party that has become hijacked by the illegitimate offspring of the 1960's, San Francisco based Anarchist
Movement. They are the same Party that has supporters torching American Flags, putting down the Nation when travelling overseas, and making it their
life goal to do nothing but trash the sitting U.S. President. Meanwhile, nothing productive is being accomplished, unless you consider banning Asthma
Inhalers, Plastic Bags, and Incandescent Light bulbs to be a Major Accomplishment.
You tell me, is that the Party of FDR, the very man who took on a World at War, or JFK, the man who inspired and directed NASA to place a Man on the
Moon within a Decade?
Second, in regards to Iraq and the "80 Nation" Terrorist Network "issue", you also do not defeat such a network by PULLING out of Iraq. If you
feel that being in Iraq is not making any inroads in the War Against Terror, then what will leaving Iraq accomplish? How about a void so great, so
massive, that Iran takes over Influence, and thus through default so does Russia? Even if you are one of the citizens that feels we should not have
engaged Iraq in the First Place, do we not at least owe an obligation to them to now have them succeed? Is Iraq not our Responsibility? Have they not
sacrificed life, limb, and family to take up arms alongside us, and fight against the extremists? People complain about our "World Image" right now,
but are you more concerned with our perceived image in some disaffected European Nation, or with the lives of those allies who bleed with us? I urge
you to study History, learn of the greatest Modern Day mistake we made. Afghanistan, the 1980's. We Covertly supported the Mujahideen against Soviet
Aggression, and ran Ops against the CCCP. We poured aide, finances, and support into Afghanistan, and its Multitude of Refugees who were beyond
grateful. We were allied with the toughest of the Muslim world, and some of the Greatest Warriors Alive. Because of this Amazing and Highly Unlikely
Union, the Soviet Union was horribly embarrassed, badly beaten, and kicked out of Afghanistan with a vengeance that made amends for Vietnam. NEVER
again did the Soviet Union engage the United States in a Secondary Nation War. We had it made, and even began opening Diplomatic Relations with Kabul.
Then what happened? In 1992, When President Bill Clinton was in Office, and he along with the Democrat House of Representatives (Minus a few,
including The Patriot, and TRUE FDR, JFK Democrat Charlie Wilson (D-TX)) were busy Slashing Budgets (Including our DOD, and Intelligence Community
Personnel by 50%, and thus their Abilities), they decided to pull ALL Financial Funding, Aide, and Support from Afghanistan. Any and all of the
American Presence ceased to exist in this Ally Nation. So forth appeared a giant void, Ripe for the Picking. Then, in response to this, in flew a
Rich, Flamboyant, Well known Saudi by the name of Osama Bin-Laden. He entered the hinterlands as the "Savior of the Muslim World", and put forth his
promotion of Extremist Wahhabism, thus setting the tone for years to come. Due to this, along came the Religious Zealots known as the Taliban, and
their little rotten Pork-Chops, Al-Qaeda. Then, not too long afterwards, we ended up with Two Downed Towers, a Bruised and Battered Pentagon, a Crater
in Pennsylvania, and over 3,000 Dead Americans. Bottom line, learn from History, for History is Not a Fool.
Third, what makes you think Barack Obama has the backbone to Stand-up for Georgia, when he cannot even hold a single Position without giving in like a
13 Year Old Caving to Peer Pressure? He talks about Pulling out of Iraq, then re-deploying to Afghanistan (News Flash, we are already Deployed there),
then Entering and Engaging a Nuclear Power, and Ally (Pakistan), yet somehow he feels this is more Worthy than Iraq, and somehow will not tax our
already thinly stretched DOD anymore than it currently is. Again, this is an Ideological Dream, not a Realistic Solution for Anything. Obama is the
kind of Naive child that believes he can solve all of the World's ills simply through Speeches, and Discussions. When he fails to get his way, one
might wonder if he will also react as disproportionately in his use of force? He appears as a child, vulnerable to tantrums, and will most likely
engage America in a War with a Nuclear Superpower, or at the very least re-open us to another 9-11 Style Terrorist Attack. This is NOT the mentality
of a President that can Handle the Situation with The New-CCCP, and Former Soviet-Georgia.
