Hey Pittalum; Seriously?
*"It's not hard to find achievements on his record. He decimated al-Qaida <http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/unrest-conflicts-war/terrorism/al-qaeda-ORCIG000003751-topic.html> and killed Osama bin Laden. He completed the withdrawal from Iraq. Working with Russia, he induced Syrian President Bashar Assad <http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics-government/government/heads-of-state/bashar-assad-PEPLT007504-topic.html> to agree to give up his chemical weapons."* Al-Queada is thriving, along with it's nemesis, Islamic State; (both with the goal of a caliphate of Dar-al-Islam); killing Osama is not a foreign policy achievement, but was a military act that took way too long to accomplish, and both the Bush and Obama Administrations are to blame. The United States had virtually nothing to do with Syria supposedly giving up its chemical weaponry, (highly doubtful that this transpired in the first place); and the "Line In The Sand" made the United States look not only weak, but our foreign policy was clearly in disarray. This is not to mention the joke of purported negotiations for Sgt. Bergdahl; the Iranian negotiations and subsequent release of billions of dollars back to Iran; (including the interest); giving Cuba what it has demanded for decades with nothing in return; Europa is in a shambles thanks to America's lack of leadership and guidance; the tragedies in Malaysia, the Phillippines; the whole premise in Syria is governed by Neo-Cons resolute in Nation Building, and the attempt to build a pipeline within Syria against Russia's will; (Syria's decades old protector!) and not at all in the United States' best interests. All of this can be laid at the Obama Administration's feet! I was adamantly opposed to the Bush foreign policy doctrine(s); most especially in his second term; but the Obama Administration has been just as dismal, allowing for the Neo-Cons to continue, whnile simultaneously catering to radical Islam; and also buttressing the whole Obama/America Apologizes apathetic tour! Surely you recognize this!
