President Barack Obama has failed again. This time he demonstrated his incompetence when, after nine years of American sacrifice that freed the Iraqi people from a murderous regime and protected them through their first years of democracy, he could not convince Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to allow any US military forces to remain in his country.
In announcing the complete withdrawal of American troops from Iraq by the end of the year, Mr. Obama declared, "Our troops in Iraq will definitely be home for the holidays." Despite the warm and fuzzy World War II-ish spin, it is yet another Obama screw up.
Former Massachusetts Governor and GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney issued the following statement in response to the news, "President Obama's astonishing failure to secure an orderly transition in Iraq has unnecessarily put at risk the victories that were won through the blood and sacrifice of thousands of American men and women. The unavoidable question is whether this decision is the result of a naked political calculation or simply sheer ineptitude in negotiations with the Iraqi government. The American people deserve to hear the recommendations that were made by our military commanders in Iraq."

He wants to be able to stand up at the Dem convention and announce that at least he’s kept one promise.
He doesn’t care where this leads.
Guy’s an empty suit.
Make no mistake! Obama is doing exactly what he always intended to do: Systematically pull America down for the final kill! That he has not been obstructed in any way by the other two governmental powers, Congress and the Courts, is beyond belief!
You are soooo right.
The dude occupying our White House is a muslim alien working to satisfy every anti American urge, not just his but globally.
Obama’s incompetence is the only thing preventing him from totally destroying our country.
It is impressive how toxic Baraq really is.
Every cause and sports team he supports goes in the tank. (remember the Olympics?)
Many Dems have gone down to defeat already in 2010 and special elections. Even places like Massachusetts and NYC have elected Republicans.
In 2012 he will be at the top of the Dem ticket and take down many more.
Baraq will be a lonely boy on the campaign trail. Only Dems in the most looney left districts will be any where near him.
...and I saw my first “Obama 2012” bumper sticker today. OMG. How freaking stupid left can one get? Amazing.
Why not post the whole thing here?
Is there porn? Dead animals? What?
