After recent questions circulating as to whether or not the Obama administration has been spending enough time and money on National Security, the White House has been doing whatever it can to prove these rumors otherwise. Terrorist attacks on the United States are not something any American really was thinking about until the failed attacks on planes in December. Although these attacks were failures, they still proved that our airport security systems are not foolproof, and got many people questioning the proficiency of our National Security.
Sarah Palin attempted to use her bully pulpit at the Tea Party Convention to bash Obama's policies on terrorism, stating that
"That's not how radical Islamic extremists are looking at this. They know we're at war. And to win that war, we need a commander in chief, not a professor of law, standing at the lectern,"Although it is highly unlikely that the Obama administration is purposefully paying less attention to National Security, it is something to think about, and something that all Americans can agree really needs to maintain funding even in this economic recession.
