Need a strong leader

Sat., March 22, 2014

Sometimes, reality is stranger than fiction, or how about life imitates art?

Your March 7 article describing President Obama’s misspelling of Aretha Franklin’s ditty “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” ironically describes this administration’s weak foreign policy during the past six years. While the revelers party on at the White House, civilians are killed in Syria, rockets are launched by North Korea, rockets are shipped by Iran to terrorists in Gaza, Russians rolled in Crimea, and our defense budget is about to be trimmed

Methinks America’s enemies are laughing at the White House. Surely, they got no respect for the United States of America. We need someone with a spine on Pennsylvania Avenue.
