So, when Obama gives a speech then goes on the news and explains why
we're doing what we're doing, you believe he never said anything. Yet,
you have no problem following Bush without question.

Greg thinks you are naive, but in reality, you are just plain stupid.

Obama has a foreign policy, destroy international relations and trust.
Help Al-Qaeda affiliates in Libya. I don't agree with it but do find
him consistent.

Any number of important world leaders and polls indicate just the
opposite, that since the Dunce left office, the esteem in which the USA
is held has risen. thanks to the Obama Administration.

You're delusional? If you substitute Bush for Obama in your nonsense,
it would almost make sense.
