If this was what is holding back Captain Unicorn from making the world a better place then he is truly an incompetent.
Just for fun, lets see what did those three have holding them back that Obama NEVER had?
Carter - That Iranian hostage thing and Middle East WAR peace process. Oil Embargoes. Afghanistan invasion by the Soviet Union. A badly deteriorating military.
Reagan - Carter's administration of the US economy. Easily a far worse situation than Obama ever had to deal with. European Union...oops Soviet Union. A crappy Military. Iraq-Iran war.
Bush - Hmmm here is a tough one.
How many time did he get called Hitler? I think Bu####ler comes to mind.
So Valo what about our debate? If you want to talk about Bush's craptastic handling of the American economy, his crony capitalism, etc...We could find a lot of agreement. Just don't tell me that Obama HAS NOT continued (and quadrupled) the same dumb@ss crony capitalism or much of the Bush policies.
His foreign policy, a joke at best. Every administration leaves the next one in a tough situation. His foreign policy successes? Osama Bin Laden (gee tough call on that one) and containment of China's aggressive foreign intimidation of its' neighbours(though this may be all Hillary's doing). That's it. Arab(Islamic?) Spring had nothing to do with him.
For all the crap with Iraq at least Obama was left a somewhat peaceful nation on its way to Democracy.
He has taken that and handed it over to the Iranians. Forbes article on the subject as well.
