Osama Bin Laden, dead. Moammar Qaddafi, dead. Anwar al-Awlaki, dead. Al Qaeda, crippled. Has a U.S. President ever had this much foreign policy success? I can't recall one who has. Conservative writer Andrew Sullivan blogged: "To rid the world of Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki and Moammar Qaddafi within six months: if Obama were a Republican, he'd be on Mount Rushmore by now." We are without a doubt a safer country (and world) since Barack Obama took office as President of the United States in 2009.
Which of the announced Republican presidential candidates do you think would have that type of an impact on foreign policy BTW? Herman Cain? I don't think so. Ron Paul? If you're an isolationist maybe. Michele Bachmann? God no. Mitt Romney? He opposed Obama's approach on Libya that didn't cost one American life. Rick Perry? He seems to have multiple foreign policy positions. Newt Gingrich? Do you really want to go back to the Neo-Con approach? How about we give Obama his due, he's done an extraordinary job on foreign policy.
