Obama will Bank on Foreign Policy Successes

Since President Obama's economic policies have been nothing short of an epic failure, I expect that the president will lean heavily on certain foreign policy victories during his reelection campaign.

This year alone, Osama Bin Laden and Muammar Gaddafi have been killed, and the President announced the withdrawal of troops from Iraq in time for Christmas.

Yesterday, The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. may switch to an advisory role in Afghanistan as soon as next May at the NATO summit.

It seems as if Obama's political advisers are getting desperate and will plan on diverting attention away from Obama's poor record on the economy and jobs.

The American people need to look past the propaganda and spin and realize that the economic damage this administration has done far outweighs the small gains they have made overseas.

Moreover, it should be stated that Bin Laden would have been killed no matter who was in office. The grunt work to kill Bin Laden was done by the CIA and the military, all Obama did was sign off on the operation, which any president would have done.

Also, the killing of Gaddafi was done by his own people, and the President will need to be careful about how much credit he takes, because it was supposed to be a "NATO operation". Otherwise, the whole operation could be deemed unconstitutional and a violation of the War Powers Act.

The slight bump the president has received in his approval ratings will be short-lived as the economy and poor jobs situation will move back to center stage.

Obama has been playing the blame game since he took the oath of office.

First is was Bush's fault and then it was the Republicans' fault and then it was the Arab Spring's fault, and then it was the Republicans' fault again, and now it's the whole Congress' fault.

Not once has this president accepted responsibility for anything.

I believe that the American people, or at least the intelligent ones, will look past the nonsense the Obama campaign will put out and vote this disgrace of a president out of office.
