Obama got Osama, but lost the Middle East

Obama got Osama, but lost the Middle East. “There is almost nowhere in the Middle East that the United State is better off than it was four years ago… Yet Obama and his campaign team trot out Osama bin Laden to cure all those political ills, and as political cover for a failed presidency.” So, the candidate with a resume the size of a postage stamp has a list of accomplishments just as small as president. Who coulda predicted that…..

  • Let's look at Chairman O and the dancing SOS's record in terms of how their meddling has turned out for the US:

    Iran - silent during the uprising over rigged elections - loss
    Iraq - got us out so Iranians could easily take over - loss
    Afghanistan - he doesn't have the stomach to see this through, do it right. Will leave this self-professed "good" fight as soon as politics allow. Pending loss.
    Pakistan - took out Osama, lost the country. loss
    Egypt - islamic nuts now in charge, loss
    Libya - who's in control there? loss
    Syria - Russians are backing the current regime and O gets slammed by the Ruskies every time he deals with them. Pending loss.

    0 - 5 with two losses pending. Brilliant!

  • barry wants to be the "man" so bad. He'll take credit for the killing of Osama. The only thing he did was set in his chair and watch the professionals do what they do. barry and co want him to be seen as some kind of "tough" guy when it comes foreign policy espically in the Middle East. Yet he has made a complete cluster of the whole region. He pushed out Ebarak now we have the Muslim
    brotherhood in Egypt and Libya.

    Now they are spreading out all over the region.

  • Whatever happened to keeping those tribal people in the Middle East busy fighting among themselves?

  • Thanking Obama for killing Osama is like thanking Ronald McDonald for making the burger. It's the cook in the kitchen, not the Clown representing the restaurant.

    • There is more. The democrats in the last presidential election made the case for iran to have peaceful nuclear power.

      As a consequence of such an idiotic argument the ENTIRE middle east is currently building nuclear reactors.

      There is NO one standard definition as to what "Peaceful Nuclear Power" really means.

  • "Dear Leader" won't rest until our economy and standard of living are on par with most if not all of the Middle Eastern countries. It's only fair that we get to enjoy living in a shack raising goats, and burning dung for heat like them.

  • The regime is not done with the middle east just yet. Israel still exists, it just turned 64 this past week, & as long as it's there, peace will never come to the middle east. Despite the fact that Israel has nothing to do with any of the actual problems in the middle east, it is they who the problem.

    You always need someone to scapegoat.
