"Seemed" to take credit. Just love the way people interpret things. They hear what they want to hear. See what they want to see. And then condemn, condemn, condemn. Thanks for the laugh.

Yes.....some see what they want to see, and hear what they want to hear. But there are others that refuse to see what's right in front of their face, and refuse to hear what is actually said because it doesn't match up with their perception of the way things are. Whichever shoe fits.......

While he may take a little credit for some minor good Obama did, please remember that Obama was blaming Bush for a FULL 8 years.

And Trump blames Obama and/or Clinton on a daily basis for literally everything. I don't see any signs of him slowing down.......what makes you think it won't go on for 8 years as well (assuming he runs again and wins)?

This is Trump Admin MO. Take credit for everything Obama Administration accomplished as if 8 years of positive actions were all done in 7 months of Trump.

LCpl Arthur Forbes - 1. your congressmen and my congressmen are just as guilty of gutting the military to fund defense contracts. They rather have sequestration then cut funding to obscenely expensive contracts that never produced anything. 2. he refused to let U.S. service members to fall under Iraqi legal jurisdiction in exchange for keeping forces there past the Bush withdrawal date. Note that Iraq had then begged us for help in the form of the advisors we wanted to leave in the first place. Iraqi gov't corruption since the first politicians were elected in Jan '05, I was there. 3. Increased drone strikes far more than the Bush administration as opposed to increased boots on the ground. 4. Obama had ISIS. Bush had Al Qaeda. What both had in common: failed policies by Dept of State and failed strategies by Dept of Defense. If there was no Iraq, there would not have been an ISIS. 4. Who put Karzai in power in 2002? Bush. That corruption was there long before Obama and was never going away. 5. Benghazi. A dept. of State screw up along with the 'ding ding ding' budget cuts by Congress once again to security at all our embassies. "Obscure YouTube Video"? That statement alone tells me you don't know anything about the infamous "anti-Muslim" video that sparked protests world wide. 6. Under him, his intel found OBL. Doesn't take courage to kill OBL, it took competent intel. And no, torture did not give up the intel on OBL. Assets in Pakistan turned on their leaders and gave up the intel. Finally, Obama banged his chest when it came to Iraq for keeping to the withdrawal plan by Bush? Yeah he stuck to the agreement, he didn't pound his chest. But hey, Trump took credit for the on going strategy in Iraq that pushed back ISIS; which just happens to be the same military strategy Obama's administration and military advisors already had in place. Trump's people didn't change the strategy, they even admitted to that.
But hey, I see where you're getting your information from.

MAJ James Woods - You saved me a lot of writing Maj. Woods.......spot on reply. Just to add one point to the Benghazi issue.......Congress cut the security funding requested for our embassy locations.....then cried about not enough security there.....and those that cried the loudest, just recently voted to cut the security funding even more. Go figure......

SSgt Gary Andrews - Talk about being hypocritical. One day, we'll all finally hold every member of Congress accountable like we're supposed to do and stop the finger pointing at the WH with every administration. WH has one bad apple but of the 535 apples in Congress, how many are rotten to the core?
