This is the most uncomfortable and even unhappy if not just disengaged President Obama ever appears.

"Why, why , why..." it looks like he is thinking.

Iraq is like Viet Nam. We just can't get out without a "bad" outcome for Iraq.

And I fear that it will take reincarnation of FDR to get us out. The president is doing his best, but this is something that was brewing well before he was elected. At lest he keeps trying, that is one of many great things about this president, he never just gives up!

Sounds like Kennedy.
