Obama's Other War

Obama missed a golden opportunity this week. He had the chance to unite the country and both political parties had he played his cards right and used the right words in convincing the country that the move we are making in Afghanistan is the right one. Instead he has the Democrats upset that we are still there and the republicans upset because we aren’t putting in as big of a surge with a shorter timeline than they would like. This is the war at home that Obama is fighting. The democrats will not hound Obama just yet, they will stand behind their president. The Republican Party however will do what they can to be mad. Obama has given them something to look back at and say ‘told ya so’. All is not lost yet though for the president, there is still time to get both parties behind him on this.
For this last blog I wanted to do something else since we already did our presentations. So here is the loophole; it’s a different kind of war. The main thing I see here is that Obama, in his efforts to please everyone has actually ended up displeasing both sides. The GOP is going to complain about Obama no matter what he does. He cannot win with them so he may as well just say fuck the GOP and do his best to please his constituents which got him elected in the first place. The left has a major majority in the senate and the house right now so they should try and fuck shit up while they have the chance before more republicans get voted in next year.
