I am in agreement with Candice on the job that the Obama administration in doing for our nation. Mr. Obama seems to be a down to earth, truthful leader that is honestly trying to do the right things for our country. I thought that the whole birther situation was a big waste of time and ridiculous. I do not really care where somebody was born as long as they can lead our country with dignity and pride. On the topic of providing help during domestic disasters, I have always been concerned with how our country seems to always have to be the one to go in and save the other countries when there is disaster or trouble. Are we going to have enough resources to take care of the many possible disasters that we could have right here in our own country? With the economic problems we are having here in our country and looming government shut down, it is a wonder that we were able to help the recent victims of the tornadoes. I am also upset with the amount of aid that has been given to Pakistan for help with the hunt for Osama bin laden. Pakistan was just playing both sides, taking aid from the U.S while probably receiving money from Al Qaeda to hide Bin laden. It is ironic that when the U.S goes in without the knowledge of Pakistan they are able to find Bin Laden right in the middle of Pakistan. Yes I know how important it is to show terrorists that we will hunt them down wherever they go no matter how long it takes, but we need to pick better allies. We spent billions on aid to Pakistan, while they just sat on the fence and played both sides. That money was needed for our own economy for job growth and disaster aid here at home. I do believe that President Obama is a strong leader and can do good things for our country. He became President when our nation was having major problems here at home with the economic down turn and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I believe that if given time the Obama administration will do good things for our country.
