11. In addition to the above, does he think a Pres. McCain or Romney would have been better?

Both of them surrounded themselves with the same gaggle of neocon hawks who surrounded Bush and when Saudis and Egyptian terrorists attacked us, used it as an excuse to launch their pet project since the 90's, ousting Saddam.

Or perhaps worse, the younger proteges of Bush's people, all eager to make a reputation for themselves as foreign policy gurus, no matter how much blood and money is spilled to do it. They were on record as wanting to overthrow the governments of Libya, Syria, and Iran, and are still hankering for the latter two.

Exactly what does this friend think we'd be able to do about Putin and Ukraine when McCain or Romney would have our forces tied up in more wars in the Middle East?
