Ok, to tie the original topic into the Bush/Obama: Whos The Biggest Loser topic, Did anyone else feel a little unapreciated by the Prez with this whole thing?

I mean, ok so we jumped into a third war in the past 10 years. But at least with the other two, Pres Bush (who I dont like at all!) took the time to personally tell HIS county what was happening and why (at least what he wanted us to believe why).

But with Libya, the Big O decided it would be a better use of his time to go on vacation and have his Secratary tell the Nation that we jumped into a war! Mind you, this happened after he told reporters that he wasnt sending troops into Libya "On ground or in the Air!".

Maybe I am biased because I have spent 4 of the last 8 years in combat zones, but it seems that we got put on the backburner on this one.

To make matters worse, we seem to be at odds internally regarding what the mission actually is.

One of the colonels in charge said something to the effect of:

"I don't plan to go after that man" (Ghadaffi).

President Obama remarked earlier:

"It is US policy that Ghadaffi is no longer in power." (or something to that effect.)

There was an informal discussion on Facebook by a local radio station on the subject of why people seem so angry these days. By far, the most common reason people gave was the lack of leadership at the highest level. The mideast is in turmoil, gas prices are soaring, the economy still #####, and all this guy can do is go on vacation or play golf? He spent more time explaining his NCAA picks than what his plan is for Libya!

You're right about Bush. Like him or loathe him, he always spoke to the country in an attempt to explain and/or reassure people and you always knew where he stood on an issue.

Bush sadly is in the past.. Didnt any of you listen to old Rifiki in the Lion king.

Obama is the present. Judge him on his own accord.

As for Madmahar GaLaughi.. Figured he would of learned after Reaganbombing not to go messing with civilians and such.

The only good I see of this is his former secretary admitted GaDIEnowfi ordered the Lockerbie bombing which we all knew he did but now we have vindication.

The US is not directly involved under presidents ordered but only part of the NATO "protect the no-fly zone" under UN direction. As our the french, Britain, canada, denmark, spain and any other Nato country.
