We have the right, and the duty to hold our elected representatives to account. When the break our trust, violate our laws, or take reckless actions economically or militarily, we must hold them to account, for the good and the bad.
Personally I do not believe Mr. Obama ran for the office he now holds having even one clue what the job entailed. Doubtful if the majority of folks around him had any clue. His actions in regard to the economy - reckless. His failure to act sooner on Afghanistan - gave hope to our enemy. He seems to randomly demonstrate why he is illequipped to hold any job other than perhaps community organizer.
He did however, give a very good speech in Norway.
