[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]So, no one can give examples of foreign affairs successes in addition to our military killing a bunch of bad guys?  Any trade agreements, brokering a peace agreement between two other nations?  Anything?[/quote]

There have been several trade agreements signed. I assume you are capable of Googling them.

One of his biggest foreign policy successes was the draw down of troops in Iraq. This was a campaign pledge and one that he kept.

I personally don't like his foreign policy and therefore have a difficult time praising it. However, lately he has done a very good -- if unrecognized -- job of handling Israel and Netanyahu. Netanyahu made a clear effort to be the tail wagging the US dog and Obama put a stop to it. Obama stood up to Netanyahu in a manner the Israeli clearly didn't expect and Netanyahu's latest statements suggest that he is backing down.

Another point is that Obama appointed a very capable Secretary of State. She deserves credit for a lot of the accomplishments that have occurred during the Obama administration.
