Please don't bring up all the other things we've heard 1,000 times before i.e. socialism, taxes, etc. etc. which would be the expected tiresome typical response. See if you can stay on topic.
you are a little late on the subject, we've already bashed him plenty.

that would be a good start!!!
How about not bashing the USA to every foreign diplomat he entertains.
How about not trying to secretly talk to Iran.
How about not trying to negotiate with TERRORISTS.

But like the recent democratic presidents before him, he is very weak on foreign policy.

Sigh. Read the post again. "Obama gave the go-ahead to have the Somali pirates killed". Of course it's the SEALS who get the credit. That is a given we all understood, even you, it seems. Presidents make decisions so that those with expertise can do their jobs. Elementary. Get it now?
