with a few months left in Obama's presidency is hardly the time to suddenly give advice on how to fix his foreign policy machine, its like telling the Captain of the Titanic that he should have avoided hitting the iceberg.

Monday's debate will be a car wreck for Obama and will likely be the final nail in his presidency's coffin.
With Libya, Syria, Africa, China, Fast and Furious, and lackluster trade i doubt that proclaiming "i got bin Laden!" is going to cut it...especially since most Americans do not give him the specific credit...it was just a coincidence that it happened while he was in office.

i like this line from the article
"These are understandable mistakes for a first-term president with little prior government experience (or management experience, for that matter)"
