Mr Orr is entitled to his opinion because we are still a great country.  A country based on laws and rights.  Like the right of free speech.  Try that right on in countries like Russia.  Our GDP is still number one.  Our home ownership is higher than anywhere in the world. The Grand Old Paranoid party is in a Faux News, Rush and Hannity fact free zone, so is Mr. Orr.  Mr Orr, you want America to rattle it's military sword, how about coughing up a few troops of your own.  We've been the world's police force and food basket since WWII, so time for other's to step to the plate or shut the hell up about how great or powerful we are.  We can defend ourselves and will but no more bull about Yellow Cake or Gulf of Tonkin or WMD's.  Obama has been walking softly and carrying a big stick as he should, just check ISIS or Bin Laden's fates.
