...On Afghanistan.
Perhaps the reason Mr. Obama is lost on the strategic issues is that he has talked only once...yes, that's ONCE!!!...to his own appointed general, General Stanley McChrystal. See : http://www.washingtontimes.com/weblogs/back-story/2009/sep/28/us-commander-of-afghanistan-only-talked-to-obama-o/
President Obama had time for 5 interviews last week on national TV.
He then had time for a round of golf that afternoon.
My question to my DH: Why wasn't President Obama in church on a Sunday morning?
