President Obama at 40% Approval in New NYT/CBS Poll - 2nd Term Blues


Lets Get Real:

This is what happens when past decisions made in the 1st term come back to haunt you, the decision to leave the future of US and Iraqi relationship to VP Biden was a mistake,  thus the removal of US troops in 2011, the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and its threat to Syria, Iraq and now Jordan  shows that it was a massive strategic mistake for the US to leave Iraq without getting an agreement to leave troops behind, the more that ISIS grows more that the US has to do, one can even see combat troops going back, in some respects Iraq is far more important than Vietnam ever was,  if Iraq goes under, this could wreak the Western economic recovery, the last few days has seen a rise in oil prices, if Al Qaeda controls the oil of Iraq the US might have to go back, what an outcome for President Obama that would be, the political Gods would have shown their verdict on the Obama Presidency.
