(255,533 posts)He served for 30 years in the Senate and Obama chose him for his foreign policy expedience! Then he had 8 years in the Executive Branch - and he and Obama were as close as any POTUS-VP duo. And yes, he's a nice guy - but he also knows what he's doing...

(255,533 posts)Unlike certain predecessors, he has competent advisors, but when it comes down to it he's calling the shots and he's going to do the right and effective thing for both our country and our military no matter what it takes. And this worked so well because it was completely unexpected.

Worse thing bil did was retire & make buddies with a retired police chief of a white suburb.
Hes very easily swayed by other opinions. Now spouting RW talking points, rw diatribes etc like their his.
Bought a pistol, when he lives in gated community. Shit like that. Wife knows what to say & not say to him. Hes a very large hypocrite right now.
Glad I dont really have to talk to him alot.

(1,033 posts)Well, we certainly can't accuse him of not making good on his promise to hunt down those responsible for murdering our troops and so many Afghan civilians.
I was taken by surprise at just how quickly he retaliated, that's all.
