From cartoonist Clay Jones on ‘Obama’s Afghanistan,’ foreign policy, and Malia for President
On Thursday, Obama officially gave up ending the war in Afghanistan. It was something he vowed to do before he was elected. This has to be a huge disappointment for the president.
Despite killing Osama bin Laden and other terrorists, mostly through the controversial drone program, most people (not just Republicans) give the president low marks in foreign policy. I think the president realized people are going to remember Iraq and Afghanistan more than his other foreign policy endeavors.
The bad part is Iraq and Afghanistan were inherited from the previous administration. Hopefully it won’t be leftover again after the next. I also hope the candidates vying for the job will start talking about Afghanistan.
I know it’s a bold prediction drawing the future administration here. But I believe that if Malia becomes president, she’ll have the same color drapes in the Oval Office as her father.
