On Nov. 27, 2008, the Iraqi Parliament ratified a Status of Forces agreement with the United States that set a course for an end to the United States’ role in the war and marks the beginning of a new relationship between the countries. The pact called for American troops to pull out of most Iraqi cities by the summer of 2009 and set the end of 2011 as the date by which the last American troops must leave the country.
Who gave the order for the troops to be removed? The order that Romney first criticized then praised?

He wants to bomb everybody, too.
Generally what you do today is what you do tommarrow. So think about the last four years, if Obama is reelected that should give you a basic idea of what the next four years should be like. Basically it had always appeared to me that Obama just toyed with this country and he candy coated his presidency. Those around him were unqualified and easily manipulated. I don't know what he meant by Hope and Change. To me his campaigne slogan sounded stupid and had no meaning. But it attracted the most ignorant members of the population. People felt they needed some Hope, what hope? and change for what? He didn't deliver either. The guy is a farce and those that vote for him are wishing for something that won't show up Originally Posted by acp5762You are forgetting where we were when he was running. 8 Years of Bush, debt, wars, recession. 'Hope' that we could get out of the mess that Bush left us. 'Change' in the direction we were going in. We are starting to turn the corner thanks to his policies.

Obama wanted to be president and he made Campaigne pitches about cutting the deficit in half and ending the conflict in the Middle East. Presidents now are nothing more than pitchmen anyway. He didn't accomplish much of what he said he would and he isn't either. If yours or anyone elses delusion is that he's done a miraculous job over the past four years, well you can hold that thought.
People also forget that when he was elected he said point blank "it will take more than one term"
