the president, we re right behind you. and that s, a lot of people would like to be able to get to that place. but unfortunately, the administration continues to give you reasons, even if you want to help them, they have to say, ridiculous things about their opponents on every issue, right after they ve caused an international embarrassment for the last two weeks. all right. greg, comments? i want to play i think it s a mistake, however, to think this is unintended. this is president obama s greatest achievement, which he predicted to bring america down a notch. remember, america as an exceptional being was the problem. and wait, president obama was like babe ruth. he got up and he pointed to the fence and he said we re going to strike out. and he did. the problem,his failure is now ours. he has spread failure around just like our wealth. we ve all had our fair share of failure. it sucks. now we have the axis of al qaeda, iran, north korea, syria, it reveals a truth that the
