Herb,
As always this time of year I don't have enough time to debate this point
for point, but as Brad often does, I offer this somewhat lengthy article for you
to read.

Rummy

Sorry Rummy, but to blame "the economy" as "damage done by the current
occument" is neither honest, and is certainly not a "concrete fact". The
"occupant" doesn't prepare the budget. He may approve it, and probably
should have junked a lot of what was in there, but it was a joint effort
(for what it's worth, I don't like his ecnomics myself).
You can't ride Brad's back on the "foreign policy" "damage", he didn't
list any. The notion that a few third world countries "don't like us"
isn't foreign policy "damage", at least not in MY view. On the other
hand, years of ignoring treaty violations, THAT's a foreign policy
nightmare. It's ironic that the left seems to decry a President doing
exactly what he said he was going to do as a "foreign policy nightmare".
Guess that's what foreign policy has become, expectations of ignored
warnings.
But I'm beginning to ramble. The request was for concrete facts about
the "damage" done by the "current occupant". You've not provided any.
