Obama

You gotta give credit where credit is due - Obama is doing a surprisingly good job at foreign policy. From the killing of Osama and Al-Awalki, to the toppling of Gahdaffi and Mubarak on the cheap, to the pull down of troops in Iraq. Let's be the clear - the record is pretty good. Now, if you want to be critical, you can argue he is simply reaping the dividend of the Bush Adminstration's hard choices such as the Iraq and Afghanistan War and use of clones and the pull down in Iraq is technically more the result of a dispute between Iraq and the US over legal oversight of US troops. But if you want to pin the bad economy on Obama - for it hasn't done well on his watch - you also have to give credit where he has had success - foreign policy.
