"Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton..."

ad nauseum.

The Republicans believe that Barack Obama is so unpopular and so inept that they are attempting to tie Hillary Clinton to him every chance they get. Seldom will any of them talk about Hillary without tying her to Barack Obama. That is a big part of their strategy for the next election.

How should Democrats counter?

We should start with the truth. There is not one Republican now running for the Presidency that could carry Barack Obama's jock strap. None of them could do half the job he is doing in foreign affairs. They talk a big game and that is the extent of their knowledge and experience.

When Barack Obama is traded for a Republican president, our country has traded down. That is a sad fact that many do not want to hear, especially Republicans.

I'm rather surprised that the media is starting to cover the coalition's successes against ISIS. After saying for months that it would not work without US boots on the ground.
