I think you’re right. He barely won vs. Kerry-—110,000 in OH was what stood between him and one term, and a lot of the public gave him the benefit of the doubt.
I think he had the right concept militarily for what fighting the WoT took, but he didn’t have the stomach to line up Islam and say “You might not all be terrorists, but right now we can’t take that chance.” The whole TSA thing was a horrible blunder, not to mention the attempts to play nice with Dems.
Everytime a TSA pervie feels me up, think of the entire process by which we got this idiotic organization, instead of true profiling and elmination of 90% of the threat.
And, the potential for TSA (which is not just for airports ya know) to expand to our highway system and actuate state border inspection. Not extreme to forecast where it could go, and they have tested the waters with “highway stops” in TN.
