President Obama declared an end to a fearful chapter in American history on Thursday and demanded more from the country and himself as it enters the next.
Obama’s speech at the National Defense University reflected an unusual ambivalence from a commander in chief over the morality of his administration’s counterterrorism policies.
In his wide-ranging discussion of the issues at stake, Obama also suggested the depth of the difficulty he has faced in fulfilling his pledge to bring America’s national security policies fully in line with its founding values.
He discussed a drone program that he acknowledged kills civilians, a far-reaching investigation into news leaks that he said demands review, and an offshore prison for terrorism suspects that he has been trying to close for years.
take note the ones doing the most objections are the right wing people who can't hate enough or want to kill enough these same people they are deceptively defending those who are and are part of Jihadist terrorist, treasonous faux Americans or the originals.
you guessed it it's not about that at all it's about reving you up at their pretense of humanity getting you to ,ook at Pres. as some kinda blood thirsty willing to kill Americans Kenyan, colonialist Muslim.
"We will have to keep working hard to strike the appropriate balance between our need for security and preserving those freedoms that make us who we are," he said, adding that much of that work will fall to him.
After four years of alarming intelligence reports and attacks that were prevented and those that were not, Obama sounded like a former constitutional law lecturer who sees the nation and its security challenges in more shades of gray than he once did.
he has matured in his job and realizes what really needs to happen and it's not what's best for corporations and the rich, but "we the [people who create the country that is America in a possiitive view for the world to see.  if he had not taken a positive action in defeating those who want you and yours dead, republicans would be ginning you up about leading from behind BS or not leading at all, siometimes it's hard for us but for Pres. it's hard 24/7 365 and 1 on leap year. be glad he's not running over mid east like Hannibal and the elephants.
