For instance, a couple of months ago when he said that he would choose to pull the troops from Iraq;
but send them into Iran. That was an ill timed statement; because right now all the American people want to hear is an end to our troops in the Middle East. Here also, I don't believe Obama meant to insult or criticize, but his timing was not the best for this statement- but I certainly agree that Iran is a problem also.
