Similarities between Obama and Clinton worry reader

 As a follower of politics and history, I can forewarn what is possibly coming in the near future. Just like the former impeached president Clinton, Obama is trying to weaken the military of the United States to save a buck and become more equal to other countries — friend or foe.

The attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, happened because of the drastic cuts in military and intelligence that Clinton imposed on our nation. Also, his promiscuousness (and do-whatever-feels-good attitude) compounded the weakening of our nation. I think that al-Qaida and other radical Muslims observed the weakness and promiscuity of Clinton and it made them sick, so they did something about it.                    

Clinton was in power for eight years and so will Obama be. The similarities are frightening. I strongly don’t condone the attack of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, but I can somewhat see our enemies’ point. They observed Clinton as a womanizing playboy for eight years and they saw a major weakness so they pounced on it.

It could happen again with Obama weakening our status in the world. The only difference between Clinton’s and Obama’s administrations is that at least the economy was stronger during Clinton’s reign —at the expense of our military and intelligence.                  

I ask that you really think about who you are going to vote for in the November elections. We are the laughingstock of the world now and our enemies are going to take advantage of it. As the leader of the free world, we have to prove that we are worthy of such responsibility and that means that sometimes we can’t always be the nice guy.  We don’t have to give in to the thought of world apology and world equality and Kumbaya.                                                                  

Please think about voting for hard working  candidates who will fight for a strong, intelligent and appropriate America. Let’s keep history from repeating itself.
