Bearing with the facts, in the past two presidential elections, it was a majority of the voters who voted that elected Obama as our president.
To those voters, our president has certain mandates to fulfill when and if the time arises even if it means the exercise of executive privilege or the veto.
One broader mandate of the people is that there be no more ‘boots on the ground’ which our president has thus far fulfilled. Inaction is action! This in itself is high drama.
In a discussion on the PBS “Newshour” with the new secretary of defense was mention of the contention between President Obama and the previous secretaries.
Militaries become restless in times like the present: They are not earning any medals. Their necessary discipline has to be mastered. The president has to stand firm in enforcing the public mandate against the military and those members of congress who wish not to do likewise.
He is the Commander In Chief.
Contrary to what is in the media, I give our president the highest rating whether it is ‘popular’ or not.
He has avoided the outbreak of war with other nations, protected the victims in the path of ISIS as well as possible and used the means available to weaken those who certainly are the enemies of mankind.
Hopefully his secure steady course can continue.
