I proudly voted for the President and respect him greatly.  However, I don't always understand everything he does.   It is easy to question and second guess however when there are no real consequences to our decisions and opinions.  We can  insist that if he had just done what we think is right, everything would be coming up roses. 

In doing so however, I think we are looking at everything as individual incidents.  President does not strike me as one who acts that way.  I like to think he has an overall strategy and he views individual events in light of that overall strategy and responds appropriately.

Like a chess master, his individual moves don't always seem to make sense, but in the end, we see how each individual move was part of the whole strategy for the better or worse.

I hope and pray I am correct, and the overall strategy is the right one.  Unfortunately we won't know the answer for a while.
