Words: Obama feels we should support veterans and address the deficiencies in the VA system. He advocates appealing “don’t-ask-don’t-tell”, giving our troops the best training and equipment available, and growing the size of the military to maintain rotation schedules. “We know that… our long-term security depends on a judicious projection of military power and increased cooperation with other nations, and that addressing the problems of global poverty and failed states is vital to our nation’s interests.”

Actions: Obama has not served in the US military. He voted FOR restoring $565M for states’ and ports’ first responders (2005), FOR restricting business with foreign companies with links to terrorism (2005), AGAINST the PATRIOT Act’s wiretap provision (2005), FOR reauthorizing the PATRIOT Act (2006), FOR requiring CIA reports on interrogation techniques (2006), FOR preserving habeas corpus for Guantanamo detainees (2006), and FOR implementing the 9/11 Commission report (2007). The Center for Security Policy has given him a rating of 21%.

UPDATE: Critics say he’d be weak internationally and yield too much to our “enemies” This satire reflects that.
