Syria? Iran?

Do people forget Iraq invaded Kuwait and that's why we went the first time? Do they forget ⁹⁄₁₁ and why we went the second time?

What country did Iran and Syria invade? When did they attack us?

Because the question really answers itself.

How do Americans not understand those basic concepts?

I just find the statement that he's all about re-election hypocritical.

As far as Obama goes, I've never, in my lifetime, seen a POTUS so viciously attacked from the day he took office. Even before when some Republicans stated openly that they wanted him to fail. The gridlock and partisanship in congress is sickening. I agreed with what Barbara Bush said the other day:


CNN-Former first lady Barbara Bush on Monday said she was not a fan of the current presidential race.

"It's been, I think, the worst campaign I've ever seen in my life. I hate it," Bush said at a conference at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. "I hate the fact that people think 'compromise' is a dirty word."

Her comments, recorded by CNN affiliate WFAA, came during a conference on the impact of presidents' wives.

With her daughter-in-law, former first lady Laura Bush, sitting by her side, Mrs. Bush argued the level of political discourse has declined over the years.

"I think the rest of the world is looking at us these days and saying, 'What are you doing?'" she said.
