Shit is gonna break loose in Korea, and then the Middle East, and we'll all blame it on Obama.

We've had sixty years of failed policy in both areas. We are just plain fucked.

I honestly believe that any and every US president goes into the Oval Office with the best of intentions, but once they get there they quickly figure out it's not nearly as easy as doing what they had promised during their campaign. Obama runs the White House, he promised us "X", but when he got there ten thousand people in the State Department told gave him ten thousand reasons why he can't do "X".

If it's so fucking easy for Obama to fix, why didn't Bush do it before he left office? That's because it's very easy to say "We are going to leave Afghanistan" or "We are going to leave Iraq", but doing it is another thing. I think leaving either of these two countries is a disaster because the second we leave there will be a power vaccum, and the people we don't want will step up and fill our shoes.
