"The president draws a similar rating, 64%, in a new poll conducted by the Associated Press and GfK Roper Public Affairs and Media. That survey also finds, for the first time in five years, more Americans saying the nation is headed in the right direction than those who say it is not." Message 25591534

HORRIFIED "After having served most of my adult life in the CIA's Clandestine Service and having led many important counterterrorism missions, I can say that the rank and file is truly horrified by President Obama's naive decision making," Gary Berntsen writes at www.realclearpolitics.com. "Apologists for Obama's misguided decision may counter by highlighting the president's announcement that no CIA employees who participated in the interrogation program will be prosecuted. Surely President Obama understood that taking such action would have accelerated retirement of many senior officers already eligible to depart and would have also caused a significant number of resignations," Mr. Berntsen said. He added: "President Obama's handling of the classified Bush-era interrogation memorandums displays a lack of maturity. More dangerously, it displays a lack of understanding of what could lie ahead for the nation. Like all presidents in the modern age, Obama is likely to face events in the years ahead that will be heartrending. To prepare for these challenges and to minimize the impact on the nation, he must avoid rewarding our enemy and build consensus within the national security establishment. "Unfortunately, with the release of these memos, the hope that President Obama would conduct himself in foreign affairs as a moderate pragmatist has all but evaporated."
