...

In a conference call with reporters, Obama said Clinton would continue the "Bush doctrine" of only speaking to leaders of rogue nations if they first meet conditions laid out by the United States....

What an odd thing to say about the Bush doctrine. Doesn't Obama know what the Bush doctrine is?

[BelegStrongbow]

Everybody knows what the Bush Doctrine is.

Difficult part is: no one knows what their neighbor’s Bush Doctrine is.

Great find - bump.

[SlowBoat407]

I take Bush Doctrine every day. Keeps me regular AND kills weeds!

[afortiori]

Excellent, Smithers.

[Jeff Chandler]

This isn’t your father’s Bush Doctrine.

[JerseyDvl]

The one that says, “A bird in the hand is worth two in the Bush Doctrine”??

[Sloth]

I heard that Hillary’s bush doctrine committed suicide with his own speculum.

[grandpa jones]

Because a Bush doctrine is a terrible thing to waste

[bedowin]

I think it is pretty clear now that this term caught fire during the 2002-2004 campaigns. It doesn’t really mean any one thing but is almost always used to make a candidate look aligned with President Bush.

ABC fials, Gibson Fails, Total failure on the part of the Media.

Does Obama mean the doctrine that has effectively defeated Al Quada and prevented an attack on OUR soil since 2001?

[volunbeer]

Nice find. I hope to see lots of Obama then used against Obama now.

Back in July 07 he and Hillary were trying to pick up their party leftists and pro-terrorists. Today I don’t think Obama would like to be reminded about that statement.
