Obama is a disgrace and his gentler apporoach of apology and appeasement and snubbing world leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu to get face time on the 'View' and 'Letterman' has led to a foreign policy disaster that includes a 9/11 terrorist attack on our embassy in Lybia which left our ambassador and two embassy staff members dead....re-electing Barack Obama and far left democrats to a second term would be a disaster for this country.
And this is more of the perplexing insanity that comes from the right wing these days.
What policies of "appeasement" and "apology" are these?
Is this where Obama escalated the drone war in Pakistan?
Or are you referring to where Obama successfully killed Bin Laden in an operation that McCain denounced during the 08 campaign as "naive"?
Help me understand when and where he said "I'm sorry" for anything. Maybe he did and I missed it but I have yet to hear conservatives offer anything of substance.
And he provoked the attack on our ambassador in Libya... how again? And please be specific and offer more than "he showed weakness and stuff". And if his policies are responsible for what happened in Libya, are Bush's policies responsible for the Madrid and London bombings of 7/7?
And what would you propose we do in response? Bomb Libya?

About as well as capitalism if left to its own devices.
Anyone who thinks any "ism" contains all the answers is simply fooling themselves.
Agreed. That's why I say life's a balance. I believe in regulated capitalism with a strong middle and working class.
You know, like the kind we had during the 50s that the Republicans pine over so much, when the top tax rate was 90%.
