What? Being one of the endless line of War-Monger Presidents who start a new war every time the Military-Industrial Complex wants another hundred billions in its coffers, is about as far away from "level headed thinking ability" as I can imagine.
Why are we in war in Libya? Even the most spendthrift liberal must understand we can't wage war in every single nation on earth that we don't like.
What happened to a war lasting "days, not weeks?" What happened to all campaign-Obama's criticism of Bush's idiotic War-Mongering as the economy failed?
What about starting wars after getting "permission" from Europe, while IGNORING Congressional approval? Even NOW, Obama won't comply by our laws in his "Pet War" in Libya.
How about continued massive government spending at a rate where 40% is BORROWED MONEY? Over $16 trillion in debt today and much more to come, burdening an economy that has NO productive economic engine, and has been GUTTED of jobs, is "level headed thinking"?
And is CURRENCY DEVALUATION really an intelligent way to deal with massive government overspending and over-borrowing? By devaluing the dollar, EVERY SINGLE American is robbed by a "stealth tax" that takes away the earning power of the wages, savings, investments, etc. The dollar has lost 40% in just the last 10 years. Combined with wage stagnation since the 1970s, in effect the ENTIRE workforce has been not only gutted of jobs, but has been working more and earning far less.
These are policies of a "level headed leader"? These are the policies the terrorists themselves would use if they got into power here! These are policies that reduce the greatest nation on earth to SCORCHED ASHES. And this is the nation we are leaving our children and grandchildren.
A REAL level headed thinking President would ask himself: "Can we afford to continue waging multiple, pointless, unwinnable wars overseas, when we are facing national bankruptcy loading hundreds of thousands of dollars of government debt on our children and grandchildren?"
The destruction of America from 1980 to today will go down in world history as the FASTEST and most TOTAL destruction of a nation and an economy and a prosperous Middle Class. And we have only our OWN leaders to blame.
