(15,438 posts)although I still reserve the right to be upset with the drone strikes policy. Then again, just like everyone else here attacking President Obama, I don't get any PDBs so I don't have the details about what is happening out there.
I do, however, trust President Obama. I trust him based on his past as a community organizer who was so selflessly dedicated to helping the voiceless people in the really bad part of Chicago when he could've chosen the easy way out and had become just another Wall-Street billionaire instead. We know this. He's incredibly intelligent and he could've used those smarts unscrupulously to make himself and his family billionaires. But he didn't. So based on that, I trust that he isn't going to do something his wife or his daughters would be ashamed of.
Although I don't understand his decisions regarding these drone attacks, I also don't know what goes on behind the scenes. All I know is how the man has lived and worked, and this history appears to be in direct contrast with his current foreign policy. This leads me to believe he knows information we don't read or hear and based on that information, is trying to keep us safe, not only now, but for generations to come.
