Lefties do not see or understand the mess we have here... Big gov tossing our own money back at us as a means to stay in power.

O.K., so at least now you're putting up some of your own opinions about how things should have been handled differently. The Iran thing was very difficult to watch because we just left the "Green" movement hanging there. That kinda made me sick too, but I'm not sure what Obama could have done. I thought he should have come out and supported those people, but then the Bahrain thing was happening around the same time and the people there certainly had as good a gripe as the Green movement since they made up 2/3rds or more of the population but are treated pretty badly by the powers that be there. But, Bahrain is a MAJOR ALLY of ours and we have to pay attention to our own interests if we want to maintain ANY power in that part of the world. This stuff about Reagan "single handedly" ending the Cold War is just BS. Gorbachev "single handedly" ended the Cold War. And, if you check things out you'll find that the Cold War is STILL on. Ask Snowden if you don't believe me... I agree that Obama is just wishy washy as hell. His community organizing schtick ain't cutting it in the real geopolitic.
