Obama can be blamed for not taking the best action while in office, even if the previous administration started the mess.

The real question is: "what is the correct action"

I suspect Obama will give him his surge but it will not be open ended he will doubtless have to show some results and quick I bet cos it looks like world opinion including US is turnig against having troops there
I would hope it isn't decided by popular opinion.
