Barack Obama

I agree with Obama that we should withdraw the troops from Iraq. The purpose of the armed forces was to protect our country. Having our troops in other countries leaves us vulnerable. The troops in Iraq is not changing anything, so there is no point in having them there. I think that the problems in Iraq can not be fixed by others and only by itself. Another thing that caught my attention was that he would keep the broken promise from Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast hit from hurricane Katrina. This is something that should have been completed a long time ago. I thought the well being of the country was the top priority and yet the problems there are not fixed. How Obama will improve the warning systems so that this type of a thing would never happen again. This should have been done long time ago but I suppose to other people there are more important things than this. To me it is confusing, that the President chooses to improve another country over our own. Hopefully with the upcoming elections and a new President that things hopefully will improve.
