John Bolton has never been accused of being a good politician. He’s too damn honest to deserve that insult.
His response to Bob Woodward’s new book, Obama’s Wars:
“If the book is accurate … it is some of the most cold-blooded, cynical, grotesquely political manipulation of national security that I think we’ve ever seen.”
“The notion that a President would say that in that kind of callous and just utterly robotic way, I think is yet further indication that Obama is simply not qualified to be Commander-in-Chief.”
“Obama is divorced from the American people, I think he is unemphatic, I think he is ‘show that’ and I think the American people have the wit to know what that means.”
Divorced. And we’re paying some steep alimony.

Surprise, surprise...Ahab the Arab NOW condemns the U.S. for doing the dirty work they openly called for against Libya. Obviously we (U.S. leadership), will never learn that you can not trust, respect, or believe anything spoken by Muslim "aristocracy".
We should act militarily on the world stage for no reason other than our own national security and that of our sworn allies. For those acts we should never apologize; but rather we should proudly accept whatever consequences arise as the price of insuring freedom; our freedom and those who openly stand by our side.
We should not engage despotism abroad for the benefit of other despots who despise what we represent as a free nation. To do otherwise, as exampled now in Libya, is to squander not only our precious resources and international good will, but directly serves to fuel the evil of Islam that grows exponentially to threaten civilization world wide.
If we are to believe that the United States of America stands to be called forward as policemen of all nations, then perhaps we should rename ourselves the United States of Earth and claim sovereignty and dominion over all lands and all people. Americans of course know that is not who we are, never have been, and should not now under any circumstances pretend to be.
To the contrary beliefs of anti-American zealots here and abroad, the United States of America has never acted imperialistically to fashion the rest of the world as secondary domains of American doctrine. Free people don't believe in world domination under the guise of any cultural or political ideology, not even our own.
The United States, under vacationing head "caddy" Obama, is being used in no uncertain terms as a willing servant to do the bidding of "his" Arabian masters. Americans should not allow Obama or any other ignominious supporter of his "America Second" foreign policy, to sell this nation, it's people and our "American First" values down the road in servitude to any master other than the American people.
The United States has a Constitution Mr. "Constitutional scholar" Obama; perhaps you should read it and honor your oath to defend it rather than sell it and it's military out to the highest OPEC bidder.
Why is anyone taking Bob Woodward's word on anything? The man has zero credibility. He claimed to have interviewed Bob Casey for a book a few years back, but Casey was in a coma at the time of the alleged interview.
So, much as I like John Bolton and dislike Obama, I think this story is being taken far too seriously. You can't trust the source!
We are shocked, Irv. Absolutely shocked. We believe just as much in Woodward's book about Obama as we believed in his books about Bush.
If I were Woodward's bosspaying his salery at the WashPost, I would be more then slightly pissed to know that Bob's "best stuff" is going into books he's writing, rather then into the newspaper he writes for.
Wow. If the stuff Woodward is saying in that book is true (and I have no reason to doubt him...), we are in deep doo. Maybe there will be some good to come from Scary Harry tossing the vote to extend the Bush tax cuts out the window. When people see how much more government is costing them, maybe they will rise up, and either impeach that Fart-Sniffer-in-Chief, or a true revolution will happen.
What the hell is the "NDN"?? Dare I offer the "National Demoratci Nassholes"??
Someone should have clued Mr. Rosenberg into the fact that 53 percent of this country didn't vote for Obama in 2008. 53 percent of the participating electorate (those who voted instead of staying home because even though they didn't want Buraq Obama they just couldn't bring themselves to vote for McCain) voted for Obama. And even that number is suspect given the man's history for pulling Box 13's a la LBJ.
WHAT!? You lie! Just listen to the democrats...it was a landslide election. Weren't you around on that night and the day after? Heck even REAGAN Couldn't of pulled in the Numbers Obama obviously did...heh.
It doesn't take a book by famous left-wing liar bob woodward to know that barry soetoro doesn't want to win in afghanistan, though the interview where barry actually says it is helpful to win over the last of the independents!
Bottom line-barry doesn't give a damn what happens to our warriors. Barry doesn't give a damn what happens to our country-because we can just "absorb it" like we supposedly did with the 9/11 attacks.....of course here we are 9 years later, and our economy has never recovered from those attacks, and barry is making the world less safe every single day. The UN is further handing our world over to islamofascists who hate the west, and want to see us all dead-so, the whole "absorption" argument is BULLSHIT.
I still am hoping for the day when the dozen or so books that outline what barry truly is, written by "conservatives" are covered on the mainstream media, so that the independents know the truth about this America hating, racist douchebag. The sooner the better!
"I couldn't care less what he says ..." John Bolton.
Ditto
Sadly, Oblabla is not the first one to put politics ahead of his duties.

If things like this are not reason enough for investigations, congressional hearings and impeachment, I don't know what is.
I am in a bad mood so...
Obama barely qualifies as a human being... so there I said it.
Him not being qualified to be President is obvious.
Cheer up! It's FRIDAY!
Bolton *is* an abrasive rascal. Being abrasive myself, I think that's just fine for the most part.
That doesn't surprise me at all about obama, he's a weakling and an ass. And then there is the smug liberal supporter, happens to be Jewish, to back obama no matter what. What is it about American Jews? Israeli Jews are the toughest, badass's on the planet while American Jews are pussy's.
Some American Jews tend to be liberals right? If that is so then that is the answer to your question.
Simple enough and correct. In other words, liberal ideology takes precident over family, country, decency etc.
John. You are so absolutely right!!! I just don't get American Jews, and NO I am not, nor ever have been anti-Semitic. I have resisted asking this same question many times because some liberal asshole (redundancy) would immediately start playing the card. If some one can explain why American Jews are so clueless, please let me know.
Well, Mark Levin and Michael Medved are great counterpoints to that.
As to *why* many US jewish people support liberal junk to their own detriment, it has to do with being pushed towards doing "social good" without really thinking intelligently about the methods being used.
Good articles on this are at http://www.jewishworldreview.com
http://jewishworldreview.com/0910/phillips092010.php3 as an example. Amazing stuff.
Hey Perlcat. Thanks for mentioning JWR. Like this website, it is a "multiple times a day must read". I will check your articles, because this has been a great mystery to me as well.
Effing Bill Goldberg! Wow!
I can think of several kick-ass American Jews. Here are just a few:
Max Baer
Richard Feynman
Barry Goldwater
Ayn Rand
Bob Dylan
Bill Goldberg
Matisyahu
Bob Dylan??? Mr. Zimmerman is a Jew, yes. Kick ass, not. Great lefty poet, sure. Kicks no ass.
They are sore at the entire world and seek to rule it by proxy. Any group that they can't directly control they seek to undermine and so first they pushed a full-out socialist agenda in the 20's. Then, when that got rejected by independent and conservative mindind americans, they sought to reverse that. If you destroy everything a culture holds dear through brainwashing and brow-beating your enemy is left as a mindless mush. So you are tought that it is hate to be proud of your country, that jungle-beating rap music is art, that dickless homos like justin beiber are the new "men". You are told it is your obligation to pay taxes that go to paying interest on money a private cartel of banks creates out of thin-air. You are shown images of various inter-racial breeding between whites and less inteligent and violent (on average...look it up) races but rarely between equally inteligent races. Why is it that jewish names always appear next to finance and media? Because control of money supply and media are the two most powerful forces on earth and the least talked about.
Why? Because the decendents of independent minded eurpeans control the most powerful country on earth at the moment and some of them don't seem as easy to brain-wash.
Does this surprise anyone? The guy (Whom I refuse to call my leader) has always put politics before anything. It's the freakin' Chicaaago way, ya know?
