Of course it's his fault. He didn't take a strong leadership position like a Putin or a Netanyahu and lead our country to crushing victory thus leaving our poor troops to languish in the field.
I donate to the USO from time-to-time. They're probably on the up-and-up. They rent my name/address to some other organizations for fund-raising. Wounded Warriors, for example. But I also get letters from the the far fringes of right-wing world: Heritage, Larry Klayman's hatepit, the NRA and so forth. Usually those envelopes say "Stop Obama Before It's Too Late!".
I'm dismayed that these organizations regard people (like me) who donate money for the troops as a sympathetic audience for their overtly Republican political messaging. The implication is that our volunteer military has become somewhat partisan. That's not good for America.

it&#039;s too bad that the IRS was so busy investigating Tea Party-affiliated groups that they didn&#039;t have ti - Wait.
