$60 billion over 10 years? By that measure can we declare Medicare a failure too?

Where are your threads about the wasted money by Obama in Syria? Libya? Afghanistan? And his lies about how long before he removed troops from Iraq?
I doubt your concern, as if you were truly worried about "results and wasted money", you would also be speaking out about $6 trillion in less than a term, more than every president in history combined.
“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
Iraq was stabilizing, more quickly than predicted. Obama chose to withdraw those that were helping with that, now he wishes to blame Bush?

Obama and One-Party Rule
Posted By Roger L Simon On March 6, 2013
Is Barack Obama’s goal the creation of a one-party system? They’re certainly popular these days. The Chinese are doing pretty well with one.
And Barack seems to be a one-party kind of guy. He prefers like-minded folks like Turkey’s Erdogan.
And ever since his reelection, he’s devoted almost all his time to one-party efforts, doing his best to excoriate the other side. In fact, that’s about all he does.
And he does it with an animus I have not experienced in my lifetime, as if he wanted to exterminate the opposition and stomp it into oblivion.
When he saw fit to reassure us he was not a dictator, many of us thought he really wanted to be. Otherwise, why bring it up?
Democracy is, well, you know, messy. You have to deal with others, to reason and compromise. And, as Sartre famously reminded us, “Hell is other people.”
For Barack that seems most especially so. Dealing with others is a dreadful inconvenience. After all, he knows best.
So he and his followers are doing their best, preparing the way for this one-party rule, making as many people as possible dependent on government.
According to a video I just viewed from a site with the colorful title www.governmentgonewild.org [1], private-sector jobs in our country grew only 1% in the last decade while government jobs grew 15%.

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
