Politics aside, Obama said something today that really stuck. "You can't just be against something you need to be for something." This is something that I feel takes many of us a long time to learn. You service members typically do not understand this. My mentorship sessions over the years has taught me this and I continue to lean towards it everyday. What are your thoughts?

I would use the metaphor espousing that "If you give an infinite number of ..." but fear that someone will call me racist. But, it's true. Even President Obama can get something correct once in a while (I almost typed "right" instead of "correct" and stopped myself fearing that using "right" and "President Obama" in the same sentence might be politically incorrect) Sadly, he isn't so much "correct" but rather attempting to insult his opposition. He has always refused to acknowledge that they stand for something. It serves his purpose better to claim that they only oppose him because they hate him, are blatantly racist.

That destroys Hillary's total campaign strategy. The only thing she is for is four to eight years of global unrest, tepid economy, 94 million citizens that have given up looking for work, 1 in 6 children going hungry, more hate and deaths in the big cities....... and more hypocrisy than ever.

We are for a lot of things .. America.... Freedom.. Individual Rights ...and against what we see as threats and things we know are not good for the country and its citizens .. Unfortunately .. for him .. Most of us see what he wants to turn America into .. and his attempted stealing of personal freedoms and something we are very very much against ..
