Failure

Only Barack Obama could pull it off. After campaigning that his administration would be the most honest, most uplifting, and most transparent in the history of America, he has brought us the economic malaise of Jimmy Carter and the contempt and criminality of Richard Nixon. At a time when the rest of the world needs the shining light of American strength, his policies and failure of leadership has left America with little credibility to influence world events. So, Iraq falls into turmoil and chaos while Alexander Putin res-erects the old Soviet Union.
