He even took credit for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq which was already a done deal before he took office. He sure a hell did not tell everyone that if he had it his way we would still be there. He tried but the SOFA could not be extended because to many differences.

If this is defense, what does offense look like? Yeah...He's the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and he gets to take credit for the take-downs__the same way that George Bush gets to take credit for not doing anything with the intelligence he had in his hands and for the World Trade Center attacks happening on his watch....
And what has Romney done?...Oh, yeah, he participated in pro-VietNam rallies, but couldn't see his way clear to actually do anything about it. He draft-dodged with multiple deferments so he could ride around France on his little bicycle knocking on doors trying to find converts to Mormonism...
Yep, that sounds like a pretty convincing counter-story for veterans to me...
(Oh, and did I mention that his father, George, was a Mormon draft-dodger too?)
I'm less confident than ever that the USA has a better reputation with the rest of the nations in the world. Our forces are over extended and the Middle East looks like it's set to explode. There are very few jobs for our Veterans to come home to. That isn't my definition of a stronger and safer nation.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Oh, so you admit that the list of threats to the U.S., the terrorists, Al Queda, and the rest have been dealt with, and the best you can come up with is: "fewer jobs for returning veterans"...
Damn good thing Obama kept a lot of the Bush era tactics in place to hunt down and locate this folks, OH I know I know, Obama didn't this all on his own NOT.
This is where someone comes in and says "its Bush's fault, and they would be partially right, the rest of the credit goes to the military
And what has Romney done?...Oh, yeah, he participated in pro-VietNam rallies, but couldn't see his way clear to actually do anything about it. He draft-dodged with multiple deferments so he could ride around France on his little bicycle knocking on doors trying to find converts to Mormonism...

Yep and obama as senator was one of the few that voted against it. One of the very few. But Bush did quite a bit, as Obama as President kept his tactics in place to continue hunting them down.
You have mixed up with someone that actually likes romney, I don't. Dont think he has what it takes to be president either.
Yep you are correct the bullcrap is wearing thin, all the crap that Obama spews is really getting old. Then again so is some of the crap that Romney is spewing.
but facts are facts. Look them up and you will find that Obama kept a lot of practices Bush authorized for hunting them down.
