Yes, say the democrats that we saved them, when Saddam insane threatened them, at great expense and they should repay us with more production to bring the price of oil down. The president must do something or else!
Reality check, the democrats have spent the last 7 years alienating our Arab friends and weakening us in there eyes as they went on a rampage attacking the president and his policies. These nations respect strength and our president is the United States, weaken him and you weaken the nation. Now that the man has been weakened they demand that the man go to these nations and demand something from them.
Democrats have made it clear that the president has no power and no support from the democrat run congress, so what does the president have to get theses people to hurt their own interest? We bailed out France twice world wars 1 & 2 and they kicked us in the teeth for 40 years, and the democrats applauded when there was a republican president and blamed the republicans when a democrat was president. The example given is that no matter how harshly we are treated we will still help you and let you get away with your open hate of America.
For the last five years the president has made trips to build friendships and get nations to help us out and the democrats attacked those trips to make him look bad at home and abroad. After destroying every attempt to build friendship they now want us to demand from those nations help. That is not the act of a friend.
