A lesson for all... Learn To Accept Criticism - But Take Your Stand

On 60 minutes, Obama stated in his interview that one of the hardest decisions that he had to make was to send more troops to Afghanistan. The world knew during his campaign for election that he intended to swing troops from Iraq to Afghanistan.
President Obama these days gets criticized for just about everything he does. I guess it comes with the job. The other night, a slight slip of the tongue on the Tonight show with Jay Leno, and he was severely criticized for saying something off of the cuff about Special Olympics. Before the program had aired, he already gave a formal apology to a Special Olympics chairman.
Now the criticizm is from our former vice President, Dick Cheney. People would tell you that Obama would not be able to make critical decisions, but over and over again, he has displayed making the correct choices for this country. President Obama announced the closing of Guantanamo Bay prison to happen shortly,and then he was critized by Ex-Vice President Dick Cheney. But in defense of himself, Obama stated, "I fundamentally disagree with Dick Cheney — not surprisingly," Obama said. "I think that Vice President Cheney has been at the head of a movement whose notion is somehow that we can't reconcile our core values, our Constitution, our belief that we don't torture, with our national security interests. I think he's drawing the wrong lesson from history." With those remarks about Vice President Cheney he boldy challenges Mr. Cheney with his response.
