The Dubai Ports deal currently has 17% popular support according to yesterday's Fox News poll and it is primarily responsible for an overall drop in the President's positives as a leader in the war on terror. This deal, politically, could have long range negative implications for Republicans regardless of whether its the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do.
Its a big loser politically, as is the President going to India to outsource more American jobs and give them American nuclear technology. Bad moves.
Any Bozo could have seen that this would be a PR disaster. An utterly incompetent move on the parts of any and all who bought into it. Total disaster!
