Ok, the right wing says Obama has not done anything for the protection of the country?

Well, let's see?

1) killed Bin Laden.
2) has taken out many top ranking Al-Qaeda and ISIL members.
3) made a deal with Iranians, to stop making nuclear weapons, along with freeing our hostages and the quick resolution of the 10 sailors.

Now the right wing?

?????? >>> ??????!

I know Obama may not have been perfect, but his diplomacy has made a mark for the future of the US. I would say Obama has something in common with a couple of past Presidents, who sought out diplomacy before start a war. i.e., JFK, Carter, and Clinton.

Bombs falling, buildings burning, refugees fleeing, etc. That's what makes us safe. As long as we do that stuff to others, we will be happy. Ronald Reagan provided the perfect example when he invaded Granada, a small, unarmed nation, minding its own business and bothering nobody. That's the kind of thing that keeps us safe.
