PRESIDENT OBAMA.....AND "LEFT HAND COMPLIMENT "

The President decided to end the Iraq war last night, but  50,000 troops will remain for the time being....and he gave a timetable for those troops and when they will be leaving......This scenario has made the unstable Government anxious and worried while the enemy is ecstatic and telling  Iraq citizens that their support of this US backed Government will be dealt with after the final troops depart..........

The timing and message as delivered by the President did not seem helpful to the Iraq situation......but the believers of "peace at all cost" are happy and have their own assumptions of the future........

I was bothered by Obama's remarks concerning former President George W. Bush.......He did call him a Patriot and Great American.......I do not think many Americans have issue with that.......but why did not Barack give Bush credit for doing "what he thought was right "after 9/11 and specifically his ordering of the "surge"................ "He could have said many things concerning the courage of convictions without compromising his own positions........Someday he will hope one of his Successors will remember him in that fashion.



You would think that the President understands the pressure of his position and in reflection give credit where credit is due.......His above remark was what I always referred to as a "left handed compliment"..........


It appears that Barack Obama and his "ego"would not let him ever publicly admit that another view other than his might be right.....even once in awhile......
