subject: Perhaps it is time for Obama to Sashay Away

Hello Matt,

 LL>> The American people re-elected President Barack Obama to another
 LL>> four-year term.  And it wasn't even close.  The Great One has done
 LL>> wonders in his first term, and he will do even greater things in
 LL>> his second term.  So don't worry.  Be happy.  And be glad you live
 LL>> in America - the greatest country in the world.

MM>Until Obama stops the marajuana raids

The President of the United States takes an oath of office
that *requires* him/her to actually *defend* the US Constitution,
not merely to uphold it.  As such, President Obama has no choice
but to enforce existing federal legislation in regards to pot
farms.  The same would be true if a Libertarian candidate were
to win the Presidency.

MM>and reduces his droid bombings,

Unmanned drones have been around for a long time, their use
in wartime coming into common use during the administration of
GWB.  President Obama has ordered the use of drones on an even
more massive scale.  This is the wave of the future, the way
wars will be fought, not just by this country but also by many
other countries as well.  I am not saying that I agree with
this, at least not on the scale drones are being used today,
and apparently planned in the future, but drones are part
of our arsenal.

The USA has nukes.  I hope and pray those nukes are never used.
I also hope and pray no other country uses nukes.  But nukes are
part of our arsenal.  And I doubt this country will ever rid
itself of nukes.  Does that mean I will support only those
presidential candidates whose position is to get rid of our
nuclear stockpile?

MM>I will not be entirely happy.

I am never entirely happy with any president.
And I doubt I ever will be.  If I am, please call
the nuthouse and have the men in white suits pick
me up.

MM>But Im still pleased he beat Romney.

A Romney administration would have been a disaster.
But at least it would have been limited to being a 4-year
disaster.  OTOH, the clean-up afterwards might have taken
far longer...
