In reply to the discussion: Toon: Worst President in history! [View all]obxhead
(8,434 posts)20. Not the worst,
but not the best.
We've yet to actually pull out from Afghanistan and 1,000's of private corporate militia with no or little government oversight still operate in Iraq.
Wall street records are based solely on the fed printing money faster than we can chop down trees and a banking industry that has nowhere else to put the money.
DADT was repealed simply to avoid a court battle.
OBL... that was a bold move that thankfully paid off. "props" on that one.
Certainly not the worst, by far, but the toon implies a rosy picture that simply doesn't exist.
