Barack Obama was hoping the last time in his eight-year term the War on Terror would ever be an issue was when it benefitted him in 2008. He was the president to end America’s wars.
But since September 2001, the War on Terror and our foreign fights have been frequent topics and, in some cases, dominated midterm elections. In the 2002 midterm, foreign policy helped President G.W. Bush and in 2006 hurting him.
Today, the first campaign advertisements are beginning to appear attacking Democratic senate candidates for their association with President Obama’s slow reaction to ISIS and the terror state.
In Colorado, Republicans have attacked Mark Udall for appearing to agree with Obama that ISIS wasn’t a threat. Udall, obviously concerned, rapidly responded with an ad that claims he’s a “respected leader on national security.”
