    Bush gave the Government the tools to keep this country safe and they work. If Obama keeps eliminating these tools and we do get attacked again it will rest firmly on Obama's shoulders.

    After 9-11, one terrorist attack is one too many. We as a nation have no room for error.

    If he can go through this term(s) without one, I will thank him.

    Seeking greatness demonstrates a lack of character, one becomes great by sacrifice and doing the right thing in the face of adversity.

    No and no.

    He will have to do more than that in my opinion. He has to fix the economy, create jobs, seal the border, and secure the US from a terrorist attack.

    The last attack was not Bush's fault, Clinton should have got OB when he had the opportunity to do so.

    I never agreed with the premise that an attack or lack of one was all the President's fault.

    That being said, the President does form the policy for Homeland Security, and the responsibility is his for a large part. Not all.

    He will be a great President if he acts like a Conservative.

    So, no. Even if we don't get attacked at all, he will not be a great President.

    O'Bummer will only have 4 years to screw us over, I just hope he doesn't do too much damage in those four years, but if his first few days in office is any indication who ever becomes president in 2012 is going to have a very full plate. I am praying for impeachment of O'Bummer

    Like it or now, we were much safer with Bush than we ever were with Clinton. They were many attacks on us during Clintions reign, one on the WTC just not as bad as 911. Let's see in 3 years if Obama ignores the needs of our military like Clinton did.

    If he only allows one terrorist attack implies he would have known about it and could have stopped it.

    Barrack Obama will be considered a great president if he does not follow his Socialist/Marxist leanings.

    No, if the attack is the result of any policy changes or direct action on his part, then it will ruin him.

    I'm willing to give the guy a fair chance, but he is now trying to use federal money for abortions funding. Not quite what I want my tax dollars used for.

    Our country can't secure our homes, but they can pay for abortions??? Seems a little backwards
