Helmsindian, are you suggesting that those who attacked us on 9/11 would not have tried to attack us if someone else had been President? Someone else was President when the first WTC attack occurred, when our two embassies in Africa had been blown up, and when the USS Cole had been attacked.
As for the recent flyover controversy, the person responsible for this cosmically stupid and expensive stunt was immediately forced to resign. At least Barack Obama didn't declare that that person was doing "a heck of a job."
