Why wouldn't you believe him, BB? He's an American. Why would he NOT defend the country against all enemies, foreign and domestic? Seems to me that anyone who becomes president will do that.

As to what they said (and they all said basically the same thing)...nothing surprising about that! ;-) They are all saying EXACTLY what they think they need to say in order to create a certain impression in the American public's minds, which is:

1. I won't sell out America.
2. I take foreign threats to America seriously and will act decisively.
2. I'm not a coward, a patsy or a pushover.
3. I'm not insane either...so I'll try dimplomacy first.

So???????????? What else would you expect them to say?

All you are really saying is that at an instinctive gut level you don't particulary trust Obama.

Fine. That's your privilege.

I don't particularly trust any of them, but I trust Bush and Hillary a bit less than I do Obama.

And that's my privilege.

We all have our own gut feelings.
