You might be able to get away with it for 1 term, but not after a similar Obama policy leading into that term.
History is full of lessons, of course. One lesson, as Paul suggests, is that foreign intervention is fraught with risks and can have unintended consequences for the intervening country. But another lesson of history is that there are unintended consequences and risks to isolation.Foreign Policy is what disqualifies Ron Paul to lead America.

McNamara's Band: Perry gets a Pass on Policy
McNamara's Band: Perry gets a Pass on Policy
Governor Rick Perry appeals to voters, especially those voters who don't care to delve too deeply into policy details. He has an intangible appeal that most candidates lack. We've watched the Perry phenomenon in Texas for over a decade. Should Perry become the GOP nominee, he will have my full support. And it appears that, despite his policy lapses, Perry may be the nominee. This election is solely about electability. And because of that, Perry is once again getting a pass on policy. And hey, if that is what it takes to beat Obama, then spare me the details.This article pretty much sums it up on Perry.

Steve Forbes to Newsmax: Obama, Bernanke Must Go
Steve Forbes to Newsmax: Obama, Bernanke Must Go
“And I think the evidence is very clear that the president’s policies have made the situation worse, not better. The blowout in spending — where does the money come from? It comes from taxpayers one way or another. Obamacare — he passed that. Dodd-Frank — he pushed that. The weakening of the dollar — it started under the previous administration, but he’s made it much worse.I still don't support O even from the first election. He's a disaster and will continue to be a disaster until he's exposed for the fraud he is.
“So whether it’s the dollar, spending, refusing to do serious things in reforming the tax code or entitlements, that ball is very much in his court.”
Obama is poised to release a jobs plan that is expected to include proposals for extending the payroll tax cut and jobless benefits, spending money for new construction projects, and offering incentives to hire new workers.
Forbes offers his take on the plan: “What you see here is the definition of insanity — something does not work, you keep trying it and hoping that somehow it will work. Doing more government spending, doing more stimulus under another name, is not going to help getting this economy back on track again because again the government is in the driver’s seat.
“Extending unemployment benefits does not stimulate the economy. A payroll tax cut, because it’s temporary, does not encourage real spending or investment and the creation of new resources. Bottom line: more of the same. He doesn’t get it, which is why he’ll be a one-term president.”
Asked how Obama can jumpstart the economy, Forbes responds: “The president has to be serious about negotiating. He says he wants to deal, but it’s always on his terms.
“In terms of what he can do right away to help the economy, he could stop trashing the U.S. dollar and make the dollar as good as gold. That would go a long way toward attracting foreign capital, which is now leaving this country. He can stop the binge spending. There are a lot of things he can do but I don’t think he’s going to do them.”
