Gee, a socialist economic policy and a clueless response to terrorism. How much damage can he, Pelosi, and Reid do in 4 years? We need to start cutting losses in 2010.

Pretty tough to win a war when your commander in chief sides with the enemy.

yeah, there’s a fine line between being mindful of the international community and being subservient to the international community. Democrats have their heads up their a$$es most of the time but especially when it comes to foreign policy. They’ve been that way since Carter(some will argue longer of course). Ask obama to outline an election strategy and he’ll tell us more than we want to hear but ask him to outline a pro-American foreign policy strategy, and be prepared for a lot of “uhms”, “uhs” and “ers”.

Obama and the Democrats are destroying America. Finally, a patriot like Mr. Bolton speaks out.

Most of his comments are so deeply based in fact and retrospectively prescient, it’s hard to ignore the guy.

"the comingcontinuing war on American sovereignty."

Open Borders, One Sided Trade Agreements, US Gov't Debt that hobbles our Economy, underfunded and inefficient Military Finances and undermining of cultural threads, Intellectual Property Thievery ignored and on and on. Taken together these and a few other things are slowly whittling away at our Country. Just a repeat of history IMO.

In conclusion, Bolton said the Obama administration "doesn't understand so much of what we need to do to protect American security. I think it's clear that our national security is at risk under this administration. I think it's a dangerous time in the United States."

Exactly, the international "leaders" that wish us ill see Obama as weak and naive. Unfortunately, they are correct. He is a petulant newbie when it comes to leadership. He has no experience leading or managing people in say a corporation, military unit, or even a school board. His whiny "I won" comment speaks volumes about his frustration when things don't go exactly his way. He has no idea about how to build consensus, lead a team or group to a conclusion, accept advice/input, or even simply pick his battles. He expects everyone to defer to him.

As he comes up against players with real savvy, they are going to have him for lunch. Unfortunately, that includes us at the moment. Not only will they take advantage of him personally by playing on his personality weaknesses. They will also take advantage of him strategically and attack the United States through various treaties and agreements. He simply has no idea, no appreciation for what he is so blithely prepared to surrender. Something our forefathers fought long and hard to maintain.

I happened to have a goodbye lunch with an aging WWII vet today who is moving out of the area soon. Most of what he had to say about Obama I can't print here - it'd get me banned for language (I already push the limits). Besides, some of those words I think I need to look up. ;-) He did note that had Obama and his ilk come forward in the 1950s with these ideas, they'd have been put on trial for treason, and a file started on them as a communist sympathizers - no question about it. He lamented how the left has slowly and insidiously worked its way into the American psyche to the point where people actually cheer Obama, when a couple of decades ago he'd have been booed and had rotten produce thrown at him. He concluded we certainly have come a long way - in the wrong direction.

And how did Bolton’s own Party treat him? And what kind of boss did he have in the State Dept.?

I hate to say this here.
But you “Pollyannas” assume that there will be honest,fair elections in 2010 and 2012.
There will never be honest elections,ever,while Rahm Emanuel
is in control of the census,and “B-Ho” is the “Present-in Chief”.
Sorry.

John Bolton is right. I wish he would run for office. He doesn’t take any bs off of anyone!

The only chance we have is to find the few conservative Democrats and get them to make trouble for Obama.

Can they be found?

That’s exactly what I posted the other day. Someone was lamenting the growth of the deficit and I chimed in with my concern for our sovereignty. There are several dimensions it is eroding - a major part being the Fed trying to increase our money supply. Are Americans going to buy treasuries? No...

"I think it's a dangerous time in the United States."

Understatement of the year!

Obama doesn’t understand much PERIOD. He’s a puppet and somebody else is pulling the strings.
