All President Obama has to do is announce the immediate pull out of all troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. Not only will it energize the Democratic base, it will provide a major talking point when Mitt Romney and other Republicans denounce it.

President Obama can then simply accuse Mitt Romney and other prominent Republicans of being chicken hawks, by pointing out how easily they are willing to sacrifice the lives of so many brave young Americans, in far off lands, while they and their families sit in luxury in their mansions. [Something the president, in good conscience, isn't willing to do any more!]

Then President Obama can go on to point how Mitt Romney and others, by evading taxes for the past 10 years, showed their lack of willingness to even help fund those wars, but instead called for even lower taxes, and to pay for those wars through even greater cuts to social security and medicare, two programs designed to help the most vulnerable members of society.

It's a simple strategy, that will be hailed by progressives and many others alike, will put Mitt Romney and Republicans on the defensive, and without question sway the election in the favor of Obama.

What a relief!

With an agreement pledging financial support to Afghanistan through the year 2024 out of the way, maybe our congressional representatives will finally start addressing the real issues facing the US, and that is the mounting US deficit. A deficit that has increased even as a result of that agreement.

Now maybe our congressional representatives will finally get down to cutting programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Programs that only result in a drain of precious resources which are better spent fulfilling the true destiny of the US, and that is as the world police, and spreading our belief system around the world.

I know I'm going to sleep a lot better tonight!

I hate what this country has become, and I'm no longer proud of it. It pains me to see the changes that have enveloped the US over the past few years.

Once upon a time, the US was a country respected around the world, a place where everyone wanted to come. Now.......
