For those not old enough to remember, the Russians threw everything they had at the Afghans and couldn't beat them. Do we think we are smarter than the Russians? I personally don't, but that's beside the point.

President Obama said jobs are now going to be his overriding focus. Too bad he did not have the same focus when the stimulus package was passed. If it had focused on jobs instead of every Democratic wish from the past 20 years, we might actually be getting recovery in the job sector.

I'm grateful that The Eagle is a McClatchy newspaper, especially given the investigative journalism regarding Goldman Sachs. Maybe now readers can understand why President Obama is doing what has to be done.

Health care reform: It saves lives and it saves money. Good idea.

President Obama cannot vote "present" this time on Afghanistan. Voting "present" helped get him elected, but he is now in a job that requires decisions.

Do all Republicans make fun of the Obama children, or is it only a select few bullies in their bunch? It takes a very small person to have to mock a child to make yourself feel important.

Politicians should not be lawyers. We are afraid of the Taliban when our biggest enemies are our politicians and lawyers. We are losing our freedom from within. Try to think of something that is not regulated. We need to regulate our politicians.

Of all the companies and their subsidiaries that received government bailout funds, how many continue to move jobs out of the United States? In a broad sense, is that not a form of treason?

I'm tired of hearing how George Bush and Dick Cheney kept us safe. They ignored President Clinton's terrorist czar, Richard Clarke, about the threats of al-Qaida. The second attack on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 happened on their watch.

President Obama had better be sending more troops into Afghanistan. We need to bomb all the borders and then go in for the middle. We are losing too many guys. Either get us in there or get us out.

Every country has problems, including the United States. It is time we bring our soldiers home, President Obama.

Regarding "Limbaugh's truth" (Oct. 23 Letters to the Editor): Rush Limbaugh loves Jesus so conservatives will buy into his hate and propaganda. There are a lot of people who claim to love Jesus, but few are Christ-like. Last time I checked, Jesus didn't preach hate.

"I won't risk your lives unless it is absolutely necessary," President Obama said at a naval air station. Isn't that a great statement, knowing we are getting our rear ends kicked in Afghanistan? Remember Korea and Vietnam? Secure our borders and keep out the immigrants. That will keep us safe.

I am a federal employee. The president doesn't decide how much I get. Congress does that. The president proposes; Congress disposes. Learn your history. Better yet, learn your civics.

There are children living in the White House and someone complains about their pet's birthday party? How petty and mean-spirited can you get? The Obamas are trying to raise their girls with as much normalcy as possible, but some people want to criticize everything they do.

President Obama has had nine months to get up to speed on Afghanistan. He has needed two months and counting to make a decision while our troops are fighting. Obama's handpicked general says troops are needed now. I don't think it's too much to let Congress and voters have a month or two to study a health care bill before voting on it.

The Congressional Budget Office says the health care overhaul will cost nearly $1 trillion and still leave 17 million Americans uninsured. Stop this madness now. Quit wasting time on an absurd quest to take over one-sixth of our economy.

If you think the war is getting worse with all the bombings in all the places we are fighting — Afghanistan, Iraq, everywhere — just wait until President Obama pulls out of every place. It will be World War III, and the United States will be at the bottom of the pile.
