Obama correctly foresaw the consequences of the biggest foreign policy blunder in American history.

I love this meme. Gets repeated endlessly and no doubt most who hear it swallow it whole. But lemme see, I’m not among the enlightened elite or nuthin’, but somehow I think Roosevelt getting rolled by Stalin into giving up Eastern Europe into his demonic clutches kind of takes the cake.

I’m sure there are many other examples one could site. But I’m groggy still this morning and I have to leave for work.

Then again, considering we’ve pretty much won the war in Iraq now, and with a historical loss of troops that is astonishingly low, less then were lost in single battles in past wars, I guess the bar is now pretty high on “biggest foreign policy blunder.”

Oh yeah, maybe Clinton selling critical military technology to China for campaign contributions.
