What a sad and pathetic nation we have become. Lazy and selfish. The President made the difficult decision to, likely, sacrifice the midterms in order to keep our country from getting nuked by the #1 state sponsor of terrorism, who vows they will annihilate the U.S. and Israel the moment they have nuclear weapons. Intel clearly showed they were two weeks away from meeting that objective. He put our safety and survival over politics. Few Presidents would have made that tough decision. So, gas prices temporarily go up a few dollars. BIG FREAKIN DEAL. No one is asked to enlist, train, strap on a gun and go to war. They still live their everyday life happily and unencumbered, as if there was no war occurring in a far away land. They’re asked to be patient while he winds down this conflict so Iran will never be able to wipe our country off the face of the earth. Their only cost? A few extra dollars for gas. Horrors…we have to pay a few dollars more for gas for a few months so our children and grandchildren aren’t staring down the nose of a nuclear warhead. Look at yourselves, people. You just handed our country over to the communists over a few dollars in gas money. We can’t be any more selfish and absurd than that.
