I'm glad we have a President who values peace! [View all]

I voted for Obama in '08 because I opposed these wars. He ended the war in Iraq and he is bringing the one in Afghanistan to an end. I don't know if this guy is a deserter and neither does anyone else. All I know is that the President got him out of there against all political advice and damn the political criticism he knew he would take. That takes courage. We should all be thanking President Obama for being a man of peace. Too bad the media has picked up all the GOP/Fox News talking points on this.
