The Bush administration’s former ambassador to the United Nations gives President Obama “a very, very low grade” in foreign affairs and worries that the president’s “naive Wilsonism is leaving us defenseless.”
“I think his naivete is overwhelming,” John Bolton told an overflowing lecture hall at Duke University’s law school Thursday night. The president doesn’t understand, he said, that “it’s not American strength that’s provocative, it’s American weakness.’
Bolton, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute who also served in high diplomatic posts in several Republican administrations, said Obama has not yet “transitioned from being a candidate to being a president.”
Nor, he added, has Obama “transitioned from being a legislator to being an executive.”
That lack of experience, Bolton said, combined with the naivete, is “a combustible combination.’

Interesting article.
Why do they always leave out the part where Bolton forced one of his wives into having group sex at Plato's retreat?
What does RBBs cpmment have to do with his description of Obama? Why is it that people try to deflect the issue?
Bob's a good guy, he just always predictably uses the irrelevant to deflect the salient. It's like the essential element of Distraction in illusion. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain thing.
If Jesus came and kicked out the moneychangers this methodology would accuse him of being a friend of sinners, whores and tax cheats.
Wait, that's what happened. Oh well, I guess things never change.
No offense Bob, but that was a stupid hijack attempt. Not enough people on this plane to matter.
Sorry.
Will you post a list of acceptable hijack inducing comments or forever ban yourself from mentioning either of the last two Democratic Presidents or the foibles of any past Democrat's failings?
