re: #337 SanFranciscoZionist

I’ve said this with sarcasm before, but I feel as though I see a sense with some people that Obama’s actual pursuit of the war isn’t enough because they don’t feel that he’s fully ‘engaged’ or committed in some way they generally can’t define.

I think Obama has a general sense that part of how we defeat the terrorists… is by not letting ourselves be terrorized.

The military is taking action against people who do us violence. For everybody else, our part in the fight against terror is to not live in terror, to just go about our lives secure in the belief that there will be a tomorrow and next week and next month.

The administration is not doing frothing press conferences, and raising color codes, and whipping up fervor, all of which is a big change from how the previous administration did things, and that bothers people who approved of how the previous administration did things.
