    Maybe you should read a bit more about the issues then. Try looking at the approach on terror, and Kerry's statements about treating counterterrrorism as primarily a police matter, which is the same approach used by Clinton (that set our embassies and the USS Cole up the bomb). It's really really hard to debate whether or not the economy is recovering right now - nobody knows until it actually has recovered fully. But if you put the economy ahead of national security, you'll lose both.
