Doctrine of War

President Obama accepted his noble award this last week. As the President gave his speech many of his liberal allies had to be dismayed. Obama eloquently laid out his role as Commander-in-chief. He laid out the what he believes is his reasoning for defend this country I liked it.

In some other news several veteran blue dog democrats have announced that they are going to retire in 2010. These members of the house all serve swing districts, with independents moving away from the President they are worried. I believe that President Obama's speech was in part to stem the flow of independents away from the democratic party. Will this work? Only if President Obama turns around the jobless rate. Either way the democrats will lose seats in the house its just a matter of how many seats will they lose. The republicans have a chance of taking back but it is a slim chance.
