The olympics, while a big deal, are simply a symptom of what is happening with this Presidency.

He is a rock star...a great speaker..and folks are beginning to treat him like the "empty suit" he has been called. I, while I opposed and still do oppose his domestic agenda totally, am hoping that he snaps out of this rock star image with no substance.

He promised to engage this countries enemies and we will be talking with Iran as announced this week, SOMETHING THAT IRAN HAS WANTED FOR YEARS

He scrapped the missle defense system in hopes that maybe Russia and China would then favor sanctions to Iran...they have not budged on that !

He announced an Afghan strategy 6 months ago, and while it is smart at times to revisit, he is leaving his generals hanging out to dry while he changes his mind after 6 months on a war that at the time he said was a worthy war !

He stopped calling the war on terror, the war on terror...and those in Gtmo are not called terrorists anymore, HOWEVER, I am linking to an article written today by Cal Thomas which exposes why it is taking so long to get Gtmo closed. It seems that the "terrorists" that are there, are actually terrorists and they are having trouble placing them anywhere in the world. This administration calls these terrorists refugees and they have received so much sympathy from so many in this country but when you tear back the wrappings...there are terrorists, plain and simple.

"Thomas: Dig a little and it's clear Gitmo detainees pose a grave threat"
