Cocky, right winger, Gov. John Kasich bristled last week when he heard that U.S. President Barack Obama criticized his attacks on working people. Kasich should learn something from President Obama. While Kasich's braggadocious behavior gets him attention, he has yet to create a job. Kasich continues to disrespect the work and legacy of firefighters, police officers, teachers, and public workers. Ohioans can see that Kasich has revealed himself as nothing but a small-minded, arrogant, bully.
President Obama has been attacked for years by right wing, racist birthers. His detractors have said that he acts like a professor, and that he is too slow to act. In the actions we've seen transpire over the last few days, Americans have witnessed that President Obama's slow but purposeful plan to get bin Laden was successful. The war might not be over, but this important accomplishment should be noted by all. President Obama's well-planned action with the Navy Seals shows that this mission was successful because (1) it wasn't leaked to anyone, (2) the President let the special forces use their skills to do their job and complete the mission, (3) well-planned, precise plans take time.
Thank you President Obama for your strength, determination, and courage. Those Navy Seals, special forces, and our military forces deserve our thanks and prayers for their work, courage, and dedication.
