This is a very interesting new development that some who believe that Cheney was right to think that Obama is weakening national security. They are thinking that it isn't a good idea to close Gitmo without doing anything about the detainees and not saying anything when Pelosi smeared the CIA.
We'll be hearing much more about this new culture clash. During the hearings on Obama's first Supreme Court appointment, Republicans will spend more time hammering the Democratic nominee on Hamdan v. Rumsfeld and Boumediene v. Bush than about Roe v. Wade. At the moment, Obama looks untouchable. But the politics of national security could prove his undoing.
I would have to agree because the Bush people did keep us safe for 7.5 years and that is what Obama needs to do for the next 4. If that doesn't happen then Obama won't get 4 more and I think he knows that. So he beefs up the drone attacks in Pakistan and puts a troop surge into Afghanistan over the protestations of the far left. Obama knows full well that even a mini-9/11 will pin him with the title "the 1 term President that couldn't protect us."
