So Scott Wilson, the chief White House correspondent for the WaPo is a hater now too?

President Obama surprised a few people during a news conference Thursday by claiming that the 2011 decision to withdraw all U.S. forces from Iraq, a politically popular move on the eve of an election year, was made entirely by his Iraqi counterpart. The implication ran counter to a number of claims that Obama has made in the past, most notably during a tight campaign season two years ago, when he suggested that it was his decision to leave Iraq and end an unpopular war.

Bush left a shambles in Iraq. Obama has done his best to manage a war in a very complex region compounded by an inept Iraqi government and ill thought out post invasion strategy. Right-wingers criticize him no matter what he does. Damn if you do, damn if you don't.

It all begs the question as to what would you do differently?

There was a post-invasion strategy? Seems to me all strategy ended on an aircraft carrier under the words, "Mission Accomplished!"

If wingnuts do not like him, you know he is doing a good job. Wingnuts liked George Walker Bush, who was arguably the worst President in U.S. history.

President Bush accomplished more before running for president than Barack has done his entire life.

I did not call anyone a hater. Scott Wilson can say whatever he wishes, and you can run with his opinions, but I'd rather stick with facts.

Lets pay for that 2 front war started by Bush with a 60%rate on the Corps. and people who profit from them. Not the 90% rate of the 50's

However, here's what he said at the time....."With regards to Iraq, you and I agreed, I believe, that there should be a status of forces agreement," Romney told Obama as the two convened on the Lynn University campus in Boca Raton, Fla., that October evening. "That’s not true," Obama interjected. “Oh, you didn't want a status of forces agreement?” Romney asked as an argument ensued. “No,” Obama said. “What I would not have done is left 10,000 troops in Iraq that would tie us down. That certainly would not help us in the Middle East.”

He is a man of very little (if any) character. He took full credit during the election for removing ALL troops from Iraq, now places blame on someone else. This is what we've come to expect from him.

Those who support him will still argue against all of the facts out there, which is a shame.

Hilary's lack of any substantial foreign policy negotiations, led to the US pull out and its failure.
The Muslims do not negotiate with women.... Clueless Obama and even more damage, Hilary's thinking she could talk to men that have no respect for women.
