Mitt Romney will never be president: His disgraceful dishonesty in using the murder of a U.S. ambassador to attack the president will haunt him

Yeah, I know what you mean. Saving the auto industry, pulling us back from the brink of economic depression, passing healthcare reform, giving the go ahead on shooting Bin Laden in the face and dumping his ass in the ocean, ending the war in Iraq, pulling US forces out of Afghanistan by 2014, ending don't ask don't tell all while facing an opposition party whose openly stated goal is making him a one-term president. The guy can't do anything right. /sarcasm

I know what you are getting at, but many of those things were started by Bush, unfortunately. TARP and the first auto bailouts were Bush, Obama continued it given the powers under TARP that Bush pushed for. The statue of forces agreement in Iraq was signed by Bush, ending the Iraq conflict. The agreement for withdrawal from Afghanistan for 2014 is not a total withdrawal. In fact, Obama approved two surges, adding 66,000 troops to the already deployed 34,000. The 2014 agreement only starts with a 33,000 troop withdrawal, leaving about 68,000 still there; still more than when Bush left office. The Pentagon estimates that there may be at least 25,000 troops remaining there until 2025. The healthcare reform is a step in the right direction, but we need more! Don't ask don't tell was a win for him though. He hasn't been a bad president by any means, but you can see why there is frustration.
