Bolton Says Obama ‘Basically Doesn’t Care About’ Foreign Policy, Compares Him to Dukakis Monday, January 31, 2011 By Christopher Neefus
John Bolton
(CNSNews.com) - Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton said Friday that President Barack Obama “basically doesn’t care about” foreign affairs, considering them ancillary to his domestic agenda. He said he thinks Obama’s view of the United States’ role in the world is comparable to that of failed presidential candidate Michael Dukakis.
“I think the most significant aspect of the president’s approach to foreign and national security policy is that he basically doesn’t care about it,” Bolton said in a Capitol Hill speech organized by the Defense Forum Foundation.
He later added that he thought Obama could be compared to Gov. Michael Dukakis, in that both see the U.S. as “one of 192, nothing particularly special.”

So “Obama” is Kenyan for “Dukakis” which is Greek for “Mondale”? Got it. Thanks.
BHO only is concerned about himself alone!
"Redistribution" means taking everything away from people he doesn't like.
Exactly right.
I dont know if Obama cares about foreign policy or not , I am sure he doesn’t KNOW anything about it.
What did Dukakakis do to deserve being dehumanized in this way?
That Snoopy tank ride was a start.

yah...Premier Hussein defines “Foreign Policy Victory” as re-establishing diplomatic relations with Syria.
I’m not sure if he does not care about Foreign Policy, or if he so ignorant of how the world works that he is completely clueless. Probably both.
What did Dukakakis do to deserve being dehumanized in this way?
Further, Dukakis never usurped the highest office of the land through deceit, corruption and other misdeeds.
With all due respect, I believe that Ambassador Bolton is wrong about this. I think Obama cares greatly about foriegn policy and is doing everything in his power to ensure the enhancement of his radical Muslim brothers power!
Obama's priorities in order of importance are...
...
Agreed.
Ditto what you said. I don’t know why Amb. Bolton would say otherwise.
Anyone know what Bolton is saying about Egypt?
Obama only cares about Obama..
I have to agree, as I defy anyone to explain to me Obama's overarching foreign policy. There is none!
I don’t know. Some people said he evoked a certain Patton-esque stature navigating his tank across the illusionary battlefield he imagined himself to be in the few minutes in which a presidency might very well have been lost.
