Having said that however, your alluding to my children and grandchildren and having respect for police officers.

It is difficult to respond to a poster who thinks that the disrespect paid to police officers has anything in anyway with disrespect for this President. To me, you comment is so uncalled for, so inaccurate and frankly so insincere, it it were not so offensive it should be ignored. FRANKLY, had our current administration pushed the family principles stronger than the other issues he decided to put in the forefront, we would be much better off now.

Your post was an attempt to once again try and take the high road in a devious manner. It is exactly like...if you are against the treaty with Iran you are for war....if you oppose the ACA you want no health care for the poor....if you find things like Ferguson offensive then you must be racist and so on.

The drumbeat you refer to is not what you describe at all. It is a drumbeat to do anything. We have been told for over 3 years about a coalition, which obviously did not/does not exist. People are scared; that may not resonate with you but it is a real thing that needs to be addressed. Why has our President not taken to the airways to speak to us about what is happening without the core of the message being "those stupid terrorists, dumb, politics only Republicans"...how about talking to the American people without the political drivel.

I understand that an ally has been attacked. I understand that the message from the administration is different depending on whom is talking. I understand that the President seems more obsessed as you appear to be with what is said about him before the security of the country.

Listen, I know what he thinks is right. I honestly do. I, nor anyone has criticized him strongly on this issue until Paris.

If you feel all comfortable with HOW the vetting is going (we have already lost track of some of them) and what the process exactly is; if you feel comfortable when Ben Rhodes tells you it cannot happen here, but others in the same administration say it can and will, so be it. Everyone is either not as comfortable.

And your ludicrious statement about respect not being shown because someone shows disrespect for this President is just so naive and centered on what appears to be idolization of your party and President Obama.
