| 17. I work on a US army base in Europe |
|
I would be happy to discuss with Obama why I think Gates needs to leave, not only Gates, but layer upon layer of Bush appointees that is bone-deep.
Obama's coming to Europe. I am hoping he will hold an open forum so the topic of "Bush's Political Nepotism and the Peter Principle" can be discussed.
As Markos said on Obama, "We have no other choice." We're involved in a six year invasion and "We have no other choice."
I do have the choice of contributions, however, and I choose no longer to contribute to Obama. I'll give money to senate candidates of choice while voting for Obama. I hope Obama is comfortable with that....he has my vote, not my money.
