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

Posted on 07/22/2018 10:25:26 AM PDT by antidemoncrat

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.

The author is not Matt Vespa, it’s Max Boot.

The fact that he is referred to as a “conservative” instead of the Trotskyist globalist wormtongue (i.e., neocon) that he is speaks volumes about where we have been since 9/11.

Yep, he’s a “Scoop Jackson Democrat”, but the Rats kicked them out years ago. So they infiltrated the GOP. Maybe they’ll finally return to their natural home.

The fact you worked for McCain and Romney explains your RINO’ism.

Nothing more to say!

Obama was a manufactured media and deep state hologram and empty suit.

Saying you miss him is like saying you miss your favorite TV sitcom which has gone out of production.

McCain and Romney were willing Designated Losers.
Those weren’t elections, they were elaborately staged plays.

It isn’t like the mask ever covered much, even for their moles here.

How many police were ambushed and shot or killed under obama?
How many white people had the knockout ‘game’ done to them under obama?
How many of those people DIED?

Now what are those numbers under Trump?

Was the dishonest, confused author of this piece laughing while vomiting when they wrote this spew? How much of a lunatic does one have to be to write this tripe?
