¡Vamanos! Obamanos Grilled Fish Tacos

Republican voters are no longer in favor of the war in Afganistan.  The president intends to bring home all U.S. combat troops by the end of 2014 — and he is tapping into the nation’s war fatigue on the campaign trail.  This is something that everyone can agree on.
