On
Saturday, April 14th, I voted in the Saline County Democratic
Presidential Caucus. I even made it into the Salina Journal,
my hometown newspaper.
The only
drama Saturday was supplied by Jason Beets, 20, of Salina, who first declared
his support uncommitted before he bowed to the overwhelming Obama majority.
The
Kansas State University journalism student is at odds with the president over
his foreign policy.
"I
think we need to get out of Afghanistan faster," Beets said. He expressed
displeasure over Obama's support of the military in Egypt that is cracking down
on dissidents who speak out against the government, and in Bahrain, where
leaders have little patience for "peaceful pro-democracy
demonstrations."
While he
has other complaints against Obama, Beets said, "I think he would be
better than any of the Republican candidates."
