During his statement on the situation in Iraq before leaving for Martha’s Vineyard, President Obama was asked if he regretted pulling the remaining U.S. troops from Iraq in 2011. An agitated Obama answered that it wasn’t his decision. In other words, “Bush’s fault”:

Well, to be fair to the Indecider-in-Chief, it was actually Maliki and his Iranian puppet masters who were demanding the American troop withdrawal, and he meekly complied to earn cheap election-year political points:

“.......An agitated Obama answered that it wasn’t his decision.”..........

If it wasn’t odumbo’s decision to pull out of Iraq, who the hell is running this country, the White House janitor’s?

When anything goes bad, and well all know there has been plenty that has gone bad under odumbo’s watch, it is NEVER his fault but always someone else.

All King Obola knows is what he reads in the Washington Post. So, if they say he had nothing to do with the troop withdrawl, then that’s his story too.

Narcissists are never to be blamed for anything bad or wrong.

Facts don’t matter to his faithful followers ... they’ll believe his lies even when proven to be lies.

What that POS has said in the past in writing or on video is irrelevant if he says it is. That’s how narcissistic pigs operate.

Did you know Obama also claimed he ‘cut the deficit by more than half’ in the NYT Thomas Friedman interview?

He lives inside his own head.

Maliki and the Iranian puppet masters are not President of the United States. It falls squarely on O$hithead.

That was proved again when Odumbo said that the US underestimated ISIS, not the Moron in Chief, but the United States!

You're right, and I'm not defending him. King Barry should have just read Maliki the riot act and told him to just try and force our troops out.

But he didn't.
