[Mayberry Machiavelli]

Where they hope his presidency will founder?

1. The GOP would love to box Barack in on just about anything. they are like 0-everything

2. Obama is Commander in Chief of US armed forces.

The GOP can't really make him do anything involving the military.

3. No, I believe it is

4. It is Obama's war now, just as Vietnam became LBJ's war in 1965

when LBJ decided to stay in Vietnam and boost our military presence in that country.

5. Exactly so

Obama bought the brand. Thank you.
