Are we Safer today than When Obama Took Office?

I remember that question being asked repeatedly during elections.  Do I feel safer today than when so and so took office? 

Well today I can say the answer is pretty simple, NO!  The whole world seems to be in a tail spin of trouble.  You got Russia taking over its neighbors and threatening other countries, Iran has pretty much ignored everyone, North Korea has been free to do whatever it wants, Pakistan has jailed the guy that helped us get Bin Laden, Benghazi, Iraq is a nightmare of issues and Afghanistan doesn't even support the US.  That is a severe failure of Leadership from the US.  President Obama hasn't done anything to lead in the World and everyone knows it.  Once the great flagship of freedom, we know longer matter in World affairs.

All of the above doesn't take in to account for all the violence right here on our own soil.  The attacks at Ft. Hood, Boston Marathon Bombing and the School Shootings.  The issues with Fast and Furious, IRS Scandal and the NSA. 

Every where you look the World and US is falling apart and we have no Leadership to take on these issues.  We do feel good type things, but never really go to the core of the issues to solve them.  Why do we sit back and tell Russia that we wont allow you to take over, only to have them do it and say well that is it you can't do it again.  In Benghazi we are too busy covering our own ass than making sure it doesn't happen again.  In Afghanistan we are in a hurry to get out of there that it is turning into the same nightmare that we left Iraq in.  Here at home we have decided that the best way to keep the criminals and the crazies from shooting people is to take the guns away from law abiding citizens.  Yep that will work out well. 

I don't pretend to have all the answers, but it would sure seem to me that what we are doing is not working.
