Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio
"...He wants to make sure everyone has access and is able to count on coverage even if an illness pops up down the road.
Don Burnard has children and a grandchild who don't have health coverage. For him, the plan is a step in the right direction...."
I believe Senator Brown makes a very valuable statement when he refers to the Democratic Administration of Bill Clinton. The Clinton White House left the country with a budget surplus. That is rarely realized by those that oppose the change the Obama Administration is bringing to the country. Senator Brown, like President Obama, opposed the Iraq War. Senator Brown also has made the point that I believe is the correct approach to Afghanistan in that, "Are we seeing results?"
Afghanistan has a 'high bar' to meet. It has deteriorated into corruption and an expanding insurgency since the diversion of American forces into Iraq. The war that was to be Afghanistan never occurred. Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld surrendered to Musharraf as soon as the invasion began.
The Pakistani military under its new leadership has proven to be exccptionally effective. It is a nuclear nation that cannnot be abandoned to 'chance.' The war in that region is successful, the question is can Afghanistan be reclaimed after the defeat of NATO and the virtual abandonment by the USA ?
I don't live in denial of 'the truth.' Perhaps. The media of the USA would rather do that. Maybe they aren't comfortable with actually pointing a finger at the past adminisration for all its sins and defeats. One can only wonder why.
