This has been a stellar month for President Obama, and for America
overall. With gas prices dropping and the stock market rising, the
deficit shrinking and Obamacare working, Americans can sleep a little
better knowing they are more secure than ever. However, yesterday saw
something that should make every single citizen in this great nation
sleep even better: with a ceremony in Kabul, President Obama welcomed a
formal end of U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan. This comes to us from Honolulu,
where President Obama is currently on his Christmas vacation. Contrary
to Republican belief, the President can be very effective while out of
Washington.
How weird it is that Bush started a war while he was on vacation in Texas, and Obama ends a war while on vacation in Hawaii.
After 13 long, tumultuous years, 2,200 dead Americans, and a country
brought to its knees in financial disaster, the longest war America has
fought is over. From a peak of over 140,000 troops which have been
stationed since 2010, the U.S. and NATO plan to leave just 13,500
behind.
