Obama: War Over, Now Rebuild America

Quote from President Obama:
"After years of rebuilding Iraq, it is time to enlist our veterans and all our people in the work of rebuilding America.

"Folks like my grandfather came back from World War II to form the backbone of the largest middle class in history. And today's generation of veterans -- the 9/11 Generation of veterans -- is armed with the skills, discipline, and leadership to attack the defining challenge of our time: rebuilding an economy where hard work pays off, where responsibility is rewarded, where anyone can make it if they try.

"Now it is up to us to serve these brave men and women as well as they serve us. Every day, they meet their responsibilities to their families and their country. Now it's time to meet ours -- especially those of us who you sent to serve in Washington. This cannot be a country where division and discord stand in the way of our progress. This is a moment where we must come together to ensure that every American has the chance to work for a decent living, own their own home, send their kids to college, and secure a decent retirement.

"This is a moment for us to build a country that lives up to the ideals that so many of our bravest Americans have fought and even died for. That is our highest obligation as citizens. That is the welcome home that our troops deserve."

@samkurz:

Obama promised to have all troops out within 16 months of taking office --- the withdrawal now is from Bush's timeline

Obama promised to close Gitmo by the end of his first year --- it's still open. Weird how we never hear anything about it anymore.

Afghanistan -- Record US Troop deaths under Obama.

Pakistan -- Record civilian casualties under Obama

Obama had 2 YEARS to do anything he wanted & got most of it. I suppose Hope & Change isn't what you thought it'd be. Idiot
