The problem ain't so much Obama being weak

The problem is that the GOP lets him get away with giving us the finger.

For those who claim this:  who is being convinced that Obama is weak?  Democrats?  If Obama walks away from this, who looks weak?  That's from our domestic perspective.  From the terrorists' perspective, we all look weak.  The terrorists will think:  "They can't stop us".  That's the bottom line, as far as results go.  Even if the GOP would stop them if they could- since they won't stand up to the Democrats, they won't get the chance to stop the terrorists.  The unspoken domestic message is that the GOP is the weak horse as far as the voters are concerned.
