President Obama pictured speaking at the beginning of the daily White House press briefing Friday (October 21) in Washington, DC. Obama announced that all U.S. Troops will be out of Iraq by the end of the year. View full video below.
“After nearly nine years, America’s war in Iraq will be over,” Obama said. “The coming months will be a season of homecomings. Our troops in Iraq will definitely be home for the holidays.”
Since its start in 2003, the Iraqi War has reportedly killed 4,469 troops and injured over 32 thousand. It has also reportedly cost the United States 800 billion to fund. Almost all U.S. troops will be home by the end of December, according to Obama.

Thank God for President Obama! I wish more people would realize he’s doing more good than harm to this country; I hope he serves a second term. So far, these Republicans seem like idiots to me especially Bachman. -_-
Yes! I LOVE Obama! People are always ready to voice the negative about any situation! Hell everything in this life has its pros and cons, but im telling you this man got in office and did more for Americans than anyone that i can say, i benefited from! Obama implemeted New Affordble Home Modifactions for the middle and lower class, so ppl were able to keep their homes! New grants to get our asses back in school!.. Healthcare for people who are without and really need it!.. Now he is bringing the dam Troops home!.. LOVE him!, And Michelle, because i know that Black woman is in his ear baby!..lol! Lovely just lovely! And dont worry we getting him right back in for a 2nd term! I believe it!
Hold on to your seats ladies and gents! What about the troops in Afghanistan?!?! They are still sending off troops to Afghanistan…. How many will be sent to Libya?!?!?!?!
IRAQ 1 TRILLION DOLLARS
AFGHANISTAN 500 BILLION
LIBYA 1 BILLION to get GHADAFFI
Meanwhile HERE in the US the unemployment is at it’s lowest since the depression and this Motherf*cker is telling black people to stop whining and complaining?!?! BLACK PEOLPE wake up!!! This man is NOT a God! He’s a politician.
@dont be sheep I totally agree. Its afghanistan and african countries next. Its seems like the us is trying to rule the world and is,destroying our country in the process.

I swear my President is the man!!
I’m so happy for our troops, I know they are more than ready to come home. President Obama is doing great work.
Yes he is. And any Black American still not seeing this man has done his best in the Anti-Obama reign the Republicans constructed are really white boy wasted. If not for the Republicans, this Man would’ve really accomplished all he said he would in the name of CHANGE. He ended 2 wars, captured Bin Laden after Bush had directed to stop looking for him and removed funding to do so, captured Khadafi after Clinton didn’t feel his crimes were important enough to look into, revamped Social Security and Medicare for Blacks and extended unemployment during a recession. If they think any Republican is going to do better for them, including Cain who’s a disgrace to the race, needs to start digging a hole for themselves and their and their families future.
Thank god
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuua!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he looks so stressed. There there Mr. President. Some of us still know you’re doing the right things.
President Obama used to be this handsome man when he took office now he look destroyed! Keep your head up Mr.President we are with you! <3
heck yea this presidency has aged him 10 years in 4 years. He looks soooo tired and stressed out.
I’m sorry, but I’ll have to take this one with a grain of salt. He also promised to close down Gitmo Bay…and we all saw how that turned out.
booooo….he’s moving them to africa where we are finally in control after killing gadaffi some shit is bout to pop off in the near future
Thank YOU! EXACTLY!!!!
….I’ll be until I see it. I am glad that its part of the agenda. Poor Pres. Obama, he looks super stress.
There will be zero jobs.
I’m Afircan American and sorry to say this but this man is nothing but a liar he’s nothing but talk and no action whatever happend to the job he is suppose to create ever sine he was elected i’m going to do this i’m going to do that please he hasn’t done jack yet.rebuilding the ecomony must be too much for him and i regret even voting for him yes its my own personal opinion but that’s how i feel right now.he WILL NOT be reelected hate to say it people but its a fact.the ecomomy is getting worse and worst every day and all he can do is talk the talk and walk the walk but no Action what a shame and i had such high hopes for this man.nothing but the upmost respect for Mr. Obama but this is getting ridicoulous.
@Will you must not know much about politics,the reason why it seems as though he isn’t getting anything done is because the house of representatives is full of republicans now since most of the democrats lost their seats,so every time he tries to pass a bill they reject it because they have the majority vote,if they would put politics aside their would be a lot much more being done. their main goal is to make him a one term president
I love how we seem to have selective hearing and memeory when it comes to this man .I recall him stating that he would end bith wars when told it was ok by the men on the ground because he isn’t fighting himself he needs to go by what officials say .i also recall the that the minute he stated that he was going to close Gitmo the Repubs raised hell saying that he wanted to bring terrorist into our cities and make america more vunerable.I also see him fighting for jobs and every bill he proposes the repubs block it ,there is such a thing as checks and balances and if he could step on them to help the people he would but he can’t but weak minded people are led to believe that this man is not doing or trying for the country and that’s not the truth the only thing that repubs want to spend money on is war .And they will fight to the end to protect the millionaires and billionaires because they are the ones who own wall street all while pointing a finger at the President .People need to be logical it’s one thing to say ur gonna fix everything when u r a senator because u r not privy to certain details but once u r in that office it’s a different story .Has he been perfect no but y’all really need to stop crucificng this man for a mess that took damn near twenty years to make that y’all want him to clen in less than 3 yrs do some research on his accomplihments u mught be surprised!
Goodness! Mr.President has aged.
Happy about the troops.
