at least iraq's on the right track/wrong track

"I saw a poll that said the right track/wrong track in Iraq was better than here in America. (Chuckles.) It's pretty darn strong. I mean, the people see a better future." The President of the United States of America said this at a press conference with the Prime Minister of Iraq the other day.

Yes, that's right, the president said that Iraq -- a country on the verge of civil war -- has a better "right track/wrong track" (that's about the dumbest way I've ever heard a directional poll referred to in my life) than the United States of America. In other words, the President of the United States of America is campaigning on how good his record while at the same time standing up in front of a group of reporters, reporting that a country where there are significant areas that American troops are forbidden to go because it's simply too dangerous for the best armed military in the world, a country where people are kidnapped and beheaded, a country where anarchy is as much a possible future as democracy, has more optimism for it's future than the United States. Swell. I can really see why people support the guy.
