Obama won't pull out of Iraq or Afghanistan. (or Germany, Japan, South Korea, The Phillipines, and Austrelia.) WTF When will he pull us out of all these countries!!!! Such a waste of money.

This kind of stuff scares moderates away from the left, and ignites fury in the hearts of conservatives who otherwise would not have become activists, but became activists to stop insane people like these!
