When you elect to coach a sport team, you should understand 'all' the criticism and second-guessing that comes with the job. Always, hindsight is a perfect 20-20 and most certainly the easiest thing to 'do' is coach the 'other guy's' team. When one 'runs' for public office, one should likewise assume that the same criticisms and second-guessing is forthcoming...and as it was once stated, 'You're damned if you do and damned if you don't."
On a personal note, I took the blows and I stood by my decisions. President Obama is taking 'heat' over every thing imaginable: the economy issues (jobs), Syria, Ukraine (Russia), Iraq and a sundry of lesser problems. He campaigned for the job, he was elected by his countrymen and thus he is fair game.
Now, when it comes to second-guessing the coach, I ask but one consideration: those who think they could do a better job should get a coaching certification (easy to accomplish) and 'take-a-seat-at-the-helm.'
When it comes to second-guessing the President you can take similar steps: vote YOUR guy IN next time and or run for public office. However, if you are former vice-president, Dick Cheney, you have been in that Executive Branch position. Since you and your outfit 'started the Iraq War' predicated on falsehoods and lies about weapons of mass destruction, you are NOW and forever disqualified from offering any opinions about wars and foreign affairs; you are a known impotent screw-up! Take a seat in the back of the room facing the corner.
