“Bush rode rising terrorism into the White House his second term(cowboy boots and all)”

Nonsense. George W. Bush never exaggerated the threat of Islamic nihilism. Its decline has not reached the point where we can nonchalantly deem terrorism to be a minor problem. Supporting the intellectually shallow and poorly read B. Obama to simply “see the executive branch gets a much needed shake up” is utterly absurd. This man does not even begin to understand the issues surrounding national defense. One is reminded of how Nikita Khrushchev bullied the ill prepared John F. Kennedy—and Obama is not even half as ready as was JFK.
