Why, Obama, and how?

Tue., April 28, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

Why did it take four days for the SEALs to get the OK to kill the pirates?

Why has Obama reversed himself on holding someone accountable for techniques used to keep us safe?

How will conducting such inquiries play out in reaching out to Republicans as he expressed as one of his goals?

Is this payback over the Republican Party not backing the president’s stimulus package?

How will the inquiry improve our image around the world?

Will it negatively affect troop morale?

What will be the positive outcomes resulting from such an inquiry other than curiosity?

Would time be better spent by having all members of Congress tackle the larger issues confronting this country such as the economy, national debt, jobs and health care?
