More of the criticism should be directed at Hillary if only for the stupid optics of the “reset” button. And if she runs I better see ads showing that scene and Russian troops in Crimea/Ukraine.

You’re assuming there’s even going to be an election in 2016. Obama will put us in crisis mode before then and claim he needs to stay in office for the sake of “national stability” or some such nonsense.

I think you are right. He can beat Bush 2.5. Christie is already creamed. The powers that be will pump up a squad or two of egomaniacal lightweights to run as ‘conservatives’, the Willard gets a new coat of whitewash and is sold as a thoroughbred again.

During the 2012 presidential campaign, Mr. Romney was met with ridicule — including from Secretary of State John Kerry, then a U.S. Senator — after he labeled Russia the top “geopolitical foe” of the United States.

“Folks: Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from Alaska; Mitt Romney talks like he’s only seen Russia by watching ‘Rocky IV,’ ” Mr. Kerry said at the 2012 Democratic National Convention.

Sept. 30, 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich Pact, handing portions of Czechoslovakia to Adolf Hitler’s Germany. Chamberlain returned to Britain to popular acclaim, declaring that he had secured “peace for our time.” Today the prime minister is generally portrayed as a foolish man who was wrong to try to “appease” Hitler—a cautionary tale for any leader silly enough to prefer negotiation to confrontation.

—— how similar / We have seen this play before ————

March 17th, 2014, US President Barack Hussein Obama leveled sanctions against seven Russian officials after Vladimir Putin moved on Ukraine - Seven Russian officials. Obama held up by the leftist US media was held in popular acclaim, declaring that he had secured “peace for our time.” During the 2016 presidential campaign the president is generally portrayed as a foolish man who was wrong to try to “appease” Putin - a cautionary tale for any leader silly enough to prefer negotiation to confrontation.

Hey bambi...Chamberlain called...to try and warn you against making the same “stupid” mistake.

Just as the GOP has failed to act on Obama.

Just as YOU failed to act on Obama, Mitt.

We made our bed.

I wish it (i.e., a revolt) was true but I doubt it. The country is docile and will simply accept the next big lie, economic hardship, or loss of freedom that comes along. Seriously, and I’m not trying to start an argument, but what kind of pushback from the people are you seeing? All the sheeple care about is their next tweet, pizza, movie, or sporting event. Its all good. lol

No, not at all.

With his Progressive Liberal tendencies (As his record fully shows) he would have killed the GOP.

I sincerely hope your’re right. But I’m just seeing a very passive population out there that for the most part is comfortable, clueless and confused. They are therefore easily misled and manipulated. Its very difficult for those of us who know what’s going on to gain critical mass.

It will take one hell of a calamity to wake them up.

Correct me if I am wrong Mr Romney but did you not lose an election to Barack Obama after he had spent 4 years destroying America? You could not even win in that circumstance? Just wondering why you think anyone cares what you say now!
