"Thank you President Obama, You acted today like a strong commander-in-chief, doing what was in the interest of our country and the men and women who serve us in uniform."

That is the kind of courage and vision we need inour next commanderinchief.
All of us - Republicans, Democrats, independents and others alike - can only hope that the same will be said of our new Commander-in-Chief, Barack Obama, as well.
That said, for Americans concerned about national security and seized with the necessity of electing as our next commander-in-chief a principled, competent leader, the outcome was heartening.
