    There's differences? I didn't know that. Obama has continued the foreign policy of his predecessor. If anything he has just used less military and more private contracting but none the less we're still in 135 countries with over 700 bases. We're fighting in Pakistan, Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan as well as bombing yemen. Our foreign policy costs us 1 trillion dollars a year. I see no changes.

    Obama was correct in the debate with romney tonight. The President stated that romney can't talk about their differences because they coincide and he romney has nothing to contradict or call into question. Obama is also correct in his appraisal of romneys ranting against the presidents efforts to deal with Libyan or Syrian threats. He told romney that the sheer volume of his attacks amount to meaningless exchanges with no substance. I do believe that romney understands the military industrial complex, you know the one that Eisenhauer spoke of. He knows full well of the military and security industries in my opinion and will work on behalf of these industries to saber rattle for their benefit. and of course these industries will reap enormous profits at the expense of our young men and women that did not have the gift of a fine education such as his.

    Bush says we will be in Iraq and Afghanistan for a while, Obama says we will be leaving soon, Bush is correct, Obama lied!

    The Obama administration has strained the alliance with the U.K. much more. Obama is nicer to Russia. Obama wants mock trials for enemy combatants unless killed by a predator drone first. Besides that he's the same.

    Every election we get more liberal in America. That means the elites are running both parties.

    Really no difference. Obama promised change; we got lies instead.
