Americans Don't Want Obama's Version Of National Security

Weekly Standard:

Rasmussen takes a look at the ever-diminishing support for closing Gitmo:

Seventy-five percent (75%) of U.S. voters are at least somewhat concerned that dangerous terrorists will be set free if the Guantanamo prison camp is closed and some prisoners are transferred to other countries. Fifty-six percent (56%) are very concerned.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 24% are not concerned about the potential danger.
Support for the president' s plan to close the prison camp for suspected terrorists at the Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba continues to erode. It's been steadily dropping since Obama announced the camp closure just after taking office in January. Only 32% of voters now favor closing the prison camp, down six points from May and down 12 points since the President announced his decision in January.

Fifty-five percent (55%) now oppose closing the prison, with 13% not sure. In January, just after the president announced his decision, just 42% were opposed.

The Obama administration has shifted the conversation from health care, which had suddenly become shaky ground for Democrats, to the treatment of detainees, which is even shakier ground. Per Rasmussen, "Forty-one percent (41%) of voters now rate the president's handling of national security matters as good or excellent, the lowest finding in this area since he took office." It seems unlikely that the administration's decision to start investigating and prosecuting members of the intelligence community while simultaneously releasing known terrorists from Gitmo will help stabilize those numbers.

It's great that more Americans are wising up to who and what Barack Obama really is.  The question now is how much damage Obama will still be able to unleash upon the nation...will it be irreparable, or will we survive it?

There's my two cents.
