Re: Keep repeating it.
Won't make it any more true.
To Bush's lousy spending policies, Obama added far more spending and topped it off with more penalties on the productive. You don't save a sinking ship by drilling bigger holes in the hull, or breaking the ankles of the ones doing the bailing. Bush's deficits have been tripled. Obama's own economic predictions on several fronts have been blown sky high.
Where exactly has Obama's "diplomacy" resulted in any real-world progress? Hint: Obama making a speech about "how much progress there has been" does not make it real (see also "millions of jobs created or saved.")
I see adversaries doing whatever the hell they want while declaring how much happier they are about how the U.S. is doing things.
