Is there any doubt that this effective, articulate, incredible President will easily win reelection? A GOP response would insult the dignity of his address. Troops are finally leaving Bush's war after President Obama made adjustments there. Instead of a war gone out of control and mismanaged as Bush had done, Obama has been effective at ending the commitment and getting bin Laden. "Time to nation-build at home."

This President far superior to anyone in the GOP.

Exellent address by President Obama.

Technically it's just the surge troops...the ones he sent over there in the first place.

Technically, it's a withdrawl, call it the "surge" troops or not. They're coming home. Obama said this in 09' when he announced the surge and now people are acting like this is a suprise.

I wouldn't call it a withdrawal if there will still be tens of thousands of troops there for an indefinite amount of time. Partial withdrawal, sure.

I didn't watch the broadcast but I am very happy that Obama made plans for the withdrawal because I know if McCain was in office, there would be no withdraw at all, in fact, there would probably be troops in Iran and who knows what other countries.... There are few things that Obama does right and this is only one of those rare occasions... kudos to Obama...

None whatsoever, he is a shoe in, in fact we should consider cancelling the 2012 Presidential election. Wait.....what?.....Can't be?!...... This just in.


News from The Associated Press (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_AP_POLL_OBAMA_ECONOMY?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMP LATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-06-22-15-28-23 - broken link)


"For the first time this year in AP-GfK polling, respondents who say Obama deserves re-election have fallen below 50 percent into a virtual split of 48-47 in favor, a demanding challenge for him."

Gulp.........
