Sorry, couldn't resist. :)

Not at all.. :D

Ya'all speak for the Hillary Clintons and Barack Obamas of this country..

I speak for Joe and Jane Sixpack...

Yunno.. The ones who actually decide elections? :D

Michale

"As I said, I am a simple man.."

We know.

Sorry, couldn't resist. :)

Yup, yer right, it's the latter. He is disengaging from that debacle.

Rusty. Tin Woodsman rusty. Oil can...oil can.

Best to get these things out of your system early in the game.

So, coke-snorting is disqualifying for POTUS when a Righty does it, but it's NOT disqualifying for POTUS when a Lefty does it...

Could anyone explain the logic of that??

Michale

Yes... Barack Obama.

When a coke-snorting alcohol guzzling son of a CIA director DUIs his way into Yale, and ultimately into the Oval office because his daddy was in both places."

Isn't it funny how ya'all are so Pro Drugs when it's a Democrat, but so Anti-Drugs when it's a Republican..

Funny, iddn't it.. :D

One thing that is certain about the Bush clan is that they will say and do what's necessary to get what they want.

And the Clinton's won't!???

Mistakes were made. Somebody else's mistakes of course.

Sounds like Barack Obama... :D

Saddam Hussein... BAD.

Taking out Saddam Hussein... GOOD.

Iran with nuclear weapons... BAD

Making a Deal So Iran Can Acquire Nuclear Weapons... VERY Bad...

Michale

I don't know half the intelligence my brother had on Iraq half as well as I should like, but I do appreciate that less than half the media appreciate my brother's legacy half as much as he deserves.

By the time the audience parses what this does or doesn't mean, discussion will have moved on to other matters.

Yes, I stole this from Fellowship of the Ring.

Since we're talking hypotheticals, let me put one to you..

Knowing what you know now, would you vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama in the 2008 Dem Primary??

Michale

Saudi Arabia vows to set off new Middle East arms race and 'match Iran's nuclear capability'

No matter WHICH litmus test you want to use, Obama has been a COMPLETE disaster for the safety of this country and this planet...

Michale

As opposed to our current POTUS who NEVER admits to mistakes..

Michale

Probably the latter...

He's rusty...

That's all it is...

Michale

Is this a deliberate tactic on the part of Jeb and/or his brain trust?

Or

Is this an unforced error by a guy who hasn't done any politics in the last eight years and hasn't campaigned for any office in the last 12?

Good ta see ya, David! I've missed ya!! :D

Michale

How many innocent civilians has Obama killed??

These were REALLY big Lefty talking points under Bush...

Yet NO ONE wants to talk about it now...

Domestic surveillance under Bush.. The Left Wing went batshit hysterical crazy...

Under Obama??

{{{chhiiirrrrrppppppp}}} {chiirrrrppppp}

Need I go on??

Michale

There is more to leadership than just "winding down wars"... And there is more to "winding down wars" than just washing hands and sayin', "Ziiiiipp We're outta here"...

Obama's "winding down" in Iraq directly lead to the ascension of ISIS...

Obama's "reset" with Russia directly lead to The Crimea being annexed by Russia...

Obama's bowing to the Iranian Mullahs has directly lead to the ascension of Iran as a regional threat...

I could go on and on and on, but you get the idea...

We don't even have to wait for future historians to write Obama's foreign policy legacy...

It's already been cemented...

WORST.... POTUS..... EVER.....

Michale

Obama has been the one winding down the wars and ending the cluster-$@$^.

I think you want to go back to war. God knows why.

-David

One of the wars was, and still is, Obama's war...

And the financial crisis can be DIRECTLY traced to Bubba Clinton's actions...

But you know me.. I am a foreign policy wonk/military man...

I see the world thru the tactical and strategic lenses of a military person..

And, thru THOSE eyes, Obama is hands down, the worst POTUS ever...

Michale

My campaign ad against Jeb would feature all three.

But W. is at least 2nd worst in the modern era.

Carter looks like Clinton by comparison and Clinton looks like Roosevelt.

-David

“All I’m saying is that the idea that there’s one set of rules for us and another set for everybody else is true.”
-Bill Clinton

Looks like Clinton confirmed EXACTLY what I have been saying the whole time...

Again, the age old question surfaces..

Is Hillary the best that Democrats have to offer???

Michale

Actually, that honor belongs to Carter and Obama..

But why quibble with facts, eh? :D

Say what you want about Jeb, but at least he is not afraid to be out there..

Hillary is so insulated, her handlers won't let her go to the bathroom without polls and focus groups..

CW had commented often that it was a good tactic for Hillary to delay the announcement. Once she announced, so the theory went, she would have to respond to the press..

She announced a month ago and still is ignoring the press and the American people..

What's she afraid of??

Michale

The second is that I'm not sure the Republican base really likes him. They seem to prefer a "believer".

W. was a believer. He was also the worst president ever, but he was a believer. I don't know as defending W. hurts him with the believers.

It will be interesting to see what else he has to do to play to the extreme right though.

Can't wait to see his appearance at the gun range. Or flip flop on immigration and personally deport a Mexican.

-David

Actually, it was Obama who created ISIS, but try telling that to ideological fanatics...

Michale

That is a headline this morning in more than a few papers.

Bush's rather testy response to the question dug himself in deeper to the "I'd do it again" line of defense.

Is there widespread nostalgia for Dubya? Do yah miss me? Jeb must think so. If he's thinking at all.

The Prime Directive doesn't apply to alien cultures that have reached a certain level of technology.. Now, if you want to AGREE with me that islamic governments are way WAY back on the civilization scale, then we can have that discussion.. :D

In what universe is there going to be an Obama third term? Is Michelle running?????!!!!!! Did you mean a third Clinton Term?

Hillary First Term = Obama Third Term except LESS competent... if such a thing is possible..

Or, is post 3 a simple case of: Harcourt Fenton Mike! Have you been relying on your crutch again?

I am insulted that you would think I would be drinking at 0930....

I don't start drinking until 1000hrs :D

Michale

What about the Prime Directive prohibiting interference with the internal development of alien cultures?

In what universe is there going to be an Obama third term? Is Michelle running?????!!!!!! Did you mean a third Clinton Term?

Or, is post 3 a simple case of: Harcourt Fenton Mike! Have you been relying on your crutch again?

We're going to have a WALKER first term.. :D

Michale

It would be SOO much better if Saddam Hussein had stayed in power to victimize his people... :^/

So much for the vaunted Left Wing compassion, eh?

As far as a Bush third term??

I can tell you one thing..

On the one hand, we have a Bush third term.

On the other hand, we have an Obama third term..

Hands down, the American people would much MUCH prefer a Bush third to an Obama third...

Michale

If you quote me, you're lying.

I think you are so on point to be focusing on Iraq. National elections - at home and abroad - since that fateful decision to invade in March 2003 have been (not so) surprisingly lost.

It could be that one of the issues that resonates most in voters' minds in November 2016 revolves around Iraq and its disastrous and endless aftermath and why you may, come late next year, be writing about President-elect Paul. That may, in fact, be a very reasonable outcome.
