Nada? I do not think that word means what you think it means.
1. He righted George Bush's Titanic debacle.
2. He restored our standing as a reasonable member of the world community.
3. He ended the war in Iraq.
4. He remained engaged with our enemies, diplomatically and with a big stick.
5. He killed Osama Bin Laden
6. Ditto Muhamar Khaddafi
7. He saved Freddie and Fanny and thereby gave the people ultimate ownership of the homes that the banks were and are stealing
8. He opened the door to Universal Health Care.
Nada. Tu no sabes nada. Eres tonto.

jammer, the Repub's have an electoral problem even if they slightly increase their Latiino vote percentage from `14. They are headed in the opposite direction on that. Maybe Jeb could stop the bleeding, but he's got a lot of work to do to get the nomination with the crazies running his party.

Once he's elected then he's not paid for politics. His job is governance and diplomacy through policy. Most sensible people dislike politics.
You need a dictionary.

You're all over the place.
He dominated the political arena. And now he is doing a commendable job as President.
It's we're. And there is no we. I'm sensible. You're something else.

why do some people vote Republican?
they actually like disastrous foreign policy, economic recession, big government passing laws telling Americans what they can't do in their private lives?

Our sharia loving Islamist president is sending Americans to kill sharia loving Islamists in Syria.
https://www.google.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/10/31/world/obama-will-send-forces-to-syria-to-help-fight-the-islamic-state.html?_r=0&referer=https://www.google.com/
Or maybe this is his Marxist-Leninist side showing?
Or he's jealous that the Syrians have more realistic birth certificates?

I think overall his foreign policy is not very good. Below par. I attribute this to him being totally wet behind the ears on international politics to begin with, and then arming his cabinet with nincompoops who gave him bad advice.
I have issues with his cabinet and advisors generally, but I don't see those poeple causing his middle east policy failures. Our intelligence there and, I suspect, in many other foreign locations, stinks. If you want people to blame for that, I'd suggest Richard Nixon and Frank Church. Nixon for abusing CIA powers, and Church for overreacting and essentially eviscerating it. That's why United States midlle east policies has been so full of failures for 40 years.

No, you can place the blame for unrest in the ME pretty squarely on the Republican shoulders of GWB & Cheneyco.
As bad as Hussein was, the various factions stayed under control while he was in power. Colin Powell said it best: 'you break it, you bought it.'

Imaging a John McCain win in '08.....if his VP hadn't already quit or been impeached, we'd be looking at Sarah Palin in the debates.
Of course, if McCain won, we'd be mired in another war somewhere.
All in all, a very good 7 years. Unless you're a Republican who thinks America sucks.
