As much as he has screwed up the Afghanistan exit, he better hope for emotional "points".  I haven''t noticed much emotion in his speeches on this - he seems rather defiant that he is right and things aren't so bad.  

Just think, we, the USA, are asking permission of a semi-organized militant group, to take our citizens and allies out of the country, without them being beaten or manhandled.  This same group has dictated to us that we will not be allowed an extention to 31 August, lest there be "serious consequences"...... Yep, that's where we are with our "emotionally sensitive" and "compassionate" President.
