In reply to the discussion: The Case for Obama...a truly historic presidency [View all]ProSense

You could say President Nixon ended the war in Vietnam, end of story as well if you want to ignoring the details.. unfortunately a presidency is made up of details. They made Reagan an icon by ignoring the details.... And the only way you turn Barack Obama's presidency from a disappointing mediocre Presidency into a historically good one is by ignoring the details.. O's God forsaken Afghanistan policy.. spending billions and costing the lives of thousands supporting Bush's hand chosen crooked dictator in a tribal state of warlords one of many items that come to mind.
Hey, I voted for the guy.. I WANTED to like him.. Obama left me I didn't leave him. There's a lot of folks like me out here and the Obama administration has made it clear they're not interested in listening, unless it's election time.

...you could say a lot of things, but the details show that President Obama withdrew the troops and ended the war.
