Waaaay back in 2009 when the official policy and advisory team of President Obama was introduced to the world there were a few people who said, essentially: “wow, look at this group, he’s putting kids in charge“; because he was.
While I think it is safe to say most people recognize President Obama is just merely a figurehead representation of an entire presidential office that is in way over their head, it is still appropriate to hold the Chief Executive accountable for all his staff’s decisions.

If you look back to the key positions filled by the Chicago Team of professional agitators and leftists you find names like: Samantha Power (wife of Cass Sustein and now U.N Ambassador), Denis McDonough (now chief of staff), Tony Blinkin, Ben Rhodes, Dan Pfieffer and other inexperienced immature professional leftists who are profoundly in-over-their-heads.
This college frat house mentality extends toward other names like Tommy “dude” Vietor and throughout the State Dept with Patrick Kennedy, and Marie Harf etc. Almost everywhere you look you see childish immaturity playing out as a key component of the past six years of Obama policy advancement. The 2010 WikiLeaks/State Dept. cable leaks yet another stark reminder amid a litany of other childish examples.

Within almost every single foreign policy decision you can find these “kids” being outsmarted, outplayed, outwitted, and outmatched by almost every international opponent they faced.
I personally cannot think of a single foreign policy win, where a win is defined as a better U.S. position, for the entire administration team.
Failure in Iran 2009 (Green Movement), failure in Egypt 2010 (Muslim Brotherhood) – failure in Africa 2010 (LRA Joseph Koney), failure in 2011 (Libya), Failure in 2012 (Syria) – failure in 2012 (Iraq status of forces), Failure in 2013 (Ukraine/Crimea) Failure in 2013/14/15 (Iran Nukes), Failure in 2014 (ISIS), etc.
Africa, Mid-East, Asia, Australia, China, Burma, Canada,… The list just goes on, and on… and on; failed policy effort after failed policy effort.  It doesn’t matter if you are discussing “Trade” or “Terrorism” – there’s no better U.S. position.

So today the insufferable dolt, Bob Schieffer, happens across one of the kids -Dan Pfieffer- and asks him: boy gee, I tell ya what, it sure seems like a lot of people let down the Office of the President.
What does he expect the kid to say?


Seriously no joke, all kidding aside – I know there are progressives who read here:

Can anyone provide me an example of a single positive U.S. foreign policy victory/outcome in the past six years?
