It is very unlike me to offer a Presidential quote to offer how I feel on any subject, but this one has me conflicted and I think President Obama said it best...
"When asked by Diaz-Balart how he might have reacted if he'd been president on 9/11, Obama said he didn't want to discuss hypothetical situations.
However, he added that "nobody can fully understand what it was like to be responsible for the safety and security of the American people in the aftermath of the worst attack on our national soil."
