Are Americans secure under Obama?

The current Administration is doing a good job when it comes to foreign policy. President Obama and the current Administration have made a great start by removing our troops from Afghanistan. We cannot overstay our welcome to help the oppressed. We completed our duty by removing the authority that was causing havoc. In removing our troops we can also save money to distribute in other areas to assist with our current deficit.

Democrats get a rap that they are “weak on foreign policy” as stated in USA TODAY but I strongly disagree. Obama as a representative of Democratic beliefs, is taking a stand to uphold the highly sought after American freedoms and liberties. Obama is allowing our current reputation to be highlighted by not stooping down to other countries policy’s of inhumane interrogations and flat out torture when trying to obtain information about terrorists.

The current Administration refused to be like other hostile, foreign lands by banning torture when interrogating terrorists. Obama has shown his capability of securing our Nation by his “use of lethal force” in dealing with Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki. He had a no nonsense attitude to do what needed to be done to solve those life-threatening situations when dealing with extremists.

I believe the GOP has a great upcoming challenge when it comes to debating their own beliefs when addressing foreign policy. I believe they will have their work cut out for them when measured up against our current President Obama.  He has taken a great initiative of protecting our Nation when it comes to foreign policy. I believe we as Americans are secure under our current Administration and need to continue this great momentum in cleaning up foreign policy and mending our relationships with foreign countries as well.
