” - - - It’s pretty apparent that Steven’s was a sacrificial lamb.”

Is this what is meant by the expression: “ To Obamanate an Ambassador? “

Dana Perrino appeared to be fighting to control her emotions


She knows how much the maligned “ George Bush” cared, and what he did
to keep us safe.

She is too professional to just let it rip, and tell it like it is.....
