That list of "accomplishments" was really impactful (that's not really a word but I'm making it one). The only thing I would like to point out about this list of "President Obama's" offenses is that he is not the only one to blame. Although the President has, of course, significant influence and power to persuade and change, we all know that there are many string pullers behind the scenes. Although we would wish that our President would take the initiative to reverse a history of bad foreign policy, we have to look at the big picture.
All of America is to blame for these mistakes: the government for doing it but also the people for their passiveness and ignorance. A widespread attitude of "get rid of those terrorists" is very similar to how Americans in the past have banded together against the Nazis or the Communists. However, in this present time, we are not aware of the side affects of our policies or even the reasons behind them. Instead we sit back idly while the whole government (and not just the President)feeds this vicious cycle. Blame gets us nowhere; we must take some responsibility and action or we are no different than the President himself. A leader and government can only go so far as the people will let them.
