Default Which of these will Barack Obama suck at most if he's elected?

Politicians are not immune to making mistakes or "sucking" in certain areas once elected POTUS. Please pick one of the choices that you feel will be the number one issue Obama will suck at. Since there are many candidates running for president, I decided to choose Obama since he has a good chance at winning.

But, depending on what exactly you mean by "suck at," might be accurate. What do you mean by "making mistakes"? Do you mean that he's going to do something he didn't intend to do or do you mean he's going to do something he intended but the results of his intended actions were unintended?

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

I have to vote getting out of Iraq.

Any candidate that appears to pussyfoot around and doesn't call for instant pullout (like a scab, painful but quick) is just talking jive.

I went with the economy for two reasons - right now we have a massive clusterf*ck going on, and it looks like it will get worse.

I went with Iraq, not becuase I dont think he can't do well I just think he wont do it fast enought.

We need to stop having americans killed for oil today and he wont do it fast enough. I dont care what iraqis do to each other we are not the worlds moral police.

Well, then, let's see: he's not going to be able to keep even one of his campaign promises (which will actually be a good thing); presidents don't have as much impact on the economy as people think; and his foreign policy is going to be more of the same old interventionist "gotta exert power over the world" crap we've been dealing with since the early 20th century
