Most intelligent voters cast their ballot in large part through the prism of their life experiences, education, values and priorities. The premise of your decision is solidly grounded and supported with your well defined articulate financial and economic concerns. Personally, my education, training and experience did not warrant a choice between the lesser of two evils. My priorities, like many others, was rooted in national security. In that regard, I believe John McCain, would have been a much greater asset to the country and would not have made us as vulnerable as we are today.

I lost neighbors and associates in the World Trade Center. My family lives in the shadow of the New York skyline. At the time, professional obligations required that I methodically calculate the effect, impact and implications of various terroristic tactical options and attacks on the target rich metropolitan New York area. The results of my efforts would readily be applicable to Chicago, Los Angeles or any other major metro area. The results brought new meaning to catastrophic probabilities. I use the word probabilities with calculated emphasis.

Can you relate to the economic implications of a catastrophic terrorist attack on New York City or any other major population, financial and commerce center?

For me, the choice was easy. There was sufficient credible information on Obama's leftist track record for me to identify him as a threat to national security. In fact, I believe he would not have passed the background vetting for the agency I worked for. His on the job performance, his appointments, his handling of domestic security issues sufficiently validate my personal concerns.

In other words, from my perspective, national security trumps progressive social justice and economics. As an aside, his handling of the economy, predictability leaves much to be desired.

Thanks for engaging.
