Option 2. Aside from a singular one-time mistake, Bush's foreign policy was acceptable. His second term foreign policy was fine.
Aside from an agreement with Iran whose success is far from assured, Obama's foreign policy has been a disaster. His Russia "reset"? The TPP? Hard to imagine more clear backfires. Russia, China, and North Korea are more aggressive than ever. The Middle East is in shambles. Syria has been a spectacular humanitarian failure. Authoritarianism is on the march all over the world. Our intelligence agencies seem to be suffering from major morale problems. The international order is collapsing. ISIS is in 32 countries, etc. Trump and Pence both effectively savaged the "Obama-Clinton" foreign policy, and with good reason. Why anyone could vote Obama here is strange.
