When Sen. Barack Obama becomes our next president, I hope he takes drastic action to improve our economy and recall our troops from foreign nations where they do no good and cost us a lot of money we don’t have.

They are badly needed at home with their families.

The country told Obama to use the word “change” and I think he will have our backing.

The Russians had to recall their troops because of heavy casualties. The enemy is in caves, well-concealed from attack and they have good targets. The roads we have to travel are mined with bombs even 10-year-olds are capable of hiding.

The cost to us is tremendous and should be necessary for us to recover from the worst debt we have ever had in our history.
