We've heard all the incessent criticism's of the left. The media portray's him as an idiot. We hear that we have lost the respect of the world and that Europe is laughing at us. The left mistakenly believes that this will be the legacy of George W. Bush. The fact is that the Bush legacy will be that his War On Terror is what was reponsible for keeping us safe since 911. Bush took the fight to the terrorist's and faught them on our terms. He put captured terrorist's in Gitmo and information aquired from them helped save lives. The Patriot Act and stepped up Intelligence Operations has kept us safe from those who hate us. Obama ought to tread lightly. If he proceeds as promised to break down the anti terror barriers that Bush put in place and then we are attacked, the American people will turn on him in a big way. The American people will say as one "At least George W Bush kept us safe", and that will trump everything else. I honestly hope Obama reconsiders his positions opposing Bush safeguards such as the Patriot Act and Gitmo etc. I have no desire to be proven right if it is at the cost of the lives of innocent Americans.
