Are the GOP, with their constant attacks on Obama, responsible for americans

being treated badly around the world? Like with those turks who harassed those 3 American sailors today? Or Putin? Obama gets blamed for being weak. Cause psychopaths will cause something to happen and then blame the victim, not themselves. That's part of it no doubt.
