Dear Editor,
Leon Panetta (D) has now come out with a book describing his time in Barack O-Bomb-A's administration as Director of the CIA (2009-2011) and Secretary of Defense (2011-2013). In his book he describes how Obama, through his policies, has continually put American lives in danger in the Middle East. Those accounts are just part of the dangers Barack Obama has exposed Americans to during his terms in office.
Let’s count them off, 1). Fast & Furious gun running into Mexico to the Drug Cartels; two border patrol agents killed with some of the guns, numerous Mexican Nationals killed in Mexico. 2). Intentionally lax border enforcement allowing illegals into our country who commit violent crimes, murder, rape, kidnapping causing death, bodily injury and DUI wrecks. These are the same results to Americans not including property damage or loss of property. How many dead? How many injured? 3). The 9/11 Benghazi attacks; 4 Americans dead many more injured. 4). The Veterans Administration's scandal with how many uncared for or dead because of no care. 5). Intentionally lax border enforcement allowing unchecked illegals with diseases that have long been eradicated from our country. Was the Enterovirus D-68 brought here from South America? Two very young boys dead, many other children paralyzed with this virus, over 500 children infected. 6). The Ebola virus from West Africa brought into the country unchecked by a African National landing at a east coast airport then flying from there to Dallas, TX with more than a 100 people possibly exposed. The CDC stated Ebola would not come to our country, two weeks later it's here. CDC states no chance of Ebola outbreak in our country, two weeks later a health care worker working with patient zero with all the CDC protocols is infected.
The lax southern border is an effort to bolster the democrat party's voting base for future elections so that situation is a calculated intentional move for political gains for his party. Considering Barack Obama is the chief executive and ultimately oversees every agency having blundered in these situations, does that promote your confidence in his abilities to do what is right for the country? The other side of the coin is maybe we are just waiting to see if we become political casualties of a democratic administration. What is their value of life? Apparently less than the value of the Democratic Party!
