Obama broke his promise to bring the troops home and many young Americans have died, said Maurice Clements, who is helping keep alive the provocative libertarian tradition of the late Ralph Smeed, whose billboard (now electronic) is a Caldwell landmark. “We’re all outraged over that killing in Aurora, Colo., but we’re not outraged over the boys killed in Afghanistan,” Clements said of public sentiment.

A valid point about Obama that's completely obscured by the false analogy.

We were supposed to have most of the troops out already, after the withdrawal started in mid-2011. Then the state department gave us Dec. 2014 as the final date for withdrawal. Now, there's a lot of talk about 2024.

Too bad the guy is such an a-hole. He could have raised the level of political discourse with a well-considered and intelligent message.

Factually incorrect, he got the Nobel Prize BEFORE he killed thousands with his foreign policy! DUH!

"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing."
-- Edmund Burke
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

I'm not sure I'd blame the whole of Caldwell for his poor taste. I'd bet money most of the votes there are for Obama. kj.

How many Iraqis did Bush kill ?

Yeah. same number.

Whoa nelly. Barack Obama got the United States out of Iraq, a war that W. started for no reason, and is getting us out of Afghanistan, a war that W. started for a reason, and which Obama presided over much more effectively than W.

A war that W started but Barack Obama did everything in his power to make it fail along with his mentor that proudly declared "This war is lost". They couldn't run to the microphone fast enough to announce that two more American soldiers died today roadside bombings. Now that the W WON the war, Obama is more than happy to declare that victory for himself. Let's see what he does in Afghanistan now that he is on his own. Wait! He is already leaving. Strike that.

Now that the W WON the war,

As pointed out, a war that didn't need to happen that cost more American lives than the war that needed to be fought. And the war that needed to be fought would ave ended already save for the war that was President Bush's folly.
