WaPo Conservative: I Miss Obama And Would Take Him Back In A Nanosecond (Max Boot)
TownHall ^ | 7/21/2018 | Matt Vespa

How I miss Barack Obama. And I say that as someone who worked to defeat him: I was a foreign policy adviser to John McCain in 2008 and to Mitt Romney in 2012. I criticized Obama’s “lead from behind” foreign policy that resulted in a premature pullout from Iraq and a failure to stop the slaughter in Syria. I thought he was too weak on Iran and too tough on Israel. I feared that Obamacare would be too costly. I fumed that he was too professorial and too indecisive. I was left cold by his arrogance and his cult of personality. Now I would take Obama back in a nanosecond. His presidency appears to be a lost golden age when reason and morality reigned. All of his faults, real as they were, fade into insignificance compared with the crippling defects of his successor. And his strengths — seriousness, dignity, intellect, probity, dedication to ideals larger than self — shine all the more clearly in retrospect.

A Wa Po Conservative? May that’s the position Megan McCain holds on the View.

did a google search to see what would come up on this dork, he said that the GOP in total deserves to “die” because of the candidacy of Roy Moore.

He is beyond merely being a never Trumper, he’s a boot sucking Obama-cuck.

Worked for McCain and Romney and considers himself a conservative?

No need to go any further.

Matt Vespa didn’t write the part quoted, Max Boot did. Vespa wrote this...

“Well, this is some Grade-A crap. Apparently, there are some so-called conservatives that miss Barack Obama and would take him “back in a nanosecond.”

It helps if you actually read the article.

This tripe is simply stupid. I don’t even think most of it is even believed by the author.

Is he honestly saying that Obama had all those qualities? Dignity, probity, intellect? Obama is as dumb as a bag of rocks. If it weren’t for the lying media, he would have been ripped apart for all the stupid stuff he said.

Some Never-Trumpers have quietly come around. But this doofus who claims he voted for Trump has succumbed to Trump Derangement Syndrome.
