Not only did we repeatedly hear that al Qaeda was on a “path to defeat” multiple times on the campaign trail in 2012, we also heard President Obama brag about ending the Iraq War and leaving behind a “sovereign, stable, and self-reliant Iraq.”

Via CNS News:

Obama: 'I Said I End the War in Iraq - I Ended It'

Last night, however, after months of ISIS’ bloody rampage in the country, President Obama announced that America is coming to help. Airstrikes on ISIS artillery began Friday.

ODwmwit has screwed this up for sure, but let’s spread it around. This was hardly “Mission Accomplished”.

Liberals and the MSNBC crowd are saying that everything happening in Iraq springs from the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. Due to this, Bush is to blame for what’s happening now, not any policies of Obama.

Our “JV” president and his administration have been blindsided again.
They have been blindsided so many times they apparently don't have a side that isn't blind.

“I came. I saw. I went on vacation.”

Another great moment in history brought to you by the Democrat Party.

Obama wearing a suit and sitting in the oval office does not make him a president.

(Wearing a Laker jersey, does not make these guys Kobe Bryant-Barack Obama)

Obama was too busy servicing Reggie and friends to ever develop a foreign policy.He meant to,but other things got IN the way.

The way to answer that is that regardless of what any president is left with, the job of any new president is to make things better. By any measure one wants to use Obama has made things 100 times worse.
