In reply to the discussion: I am so tired of Democrats not having the President's back - especially when he's right. [View all]appal_jack

I spend my share of time here at DU criticizing the President where his actions fall short of his stated ideals. But on foreign policy, Obama has gotten it largely right: extricating us from two wars as best he can and keeping us out of others. Libya was/is a bit of a clusterfuck, and Syria has come close to being so (and very well could still become one for us), but overall, President Obama deserves abundant credit for not being a warmonger.
