Scott Walker bests Obama on Iran
Washington Post ^ | April 9, 2015 | Jennifer Rubin - Right Turn

Posted on 04/09/2015 10:23:04 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

"The president handed Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker a gift by telling him to “bone up” on foreign policy before criticizing the Iran deal. This is an administration in which a State Department spokeswoman tries to deflect a takedown of the Iran framework by two former secretaries of state by saying that they did not offer alternatives and that she saw “a lot of sort of big words and big thoughts.”......

.....Even when trying to seem sophisticated, the administration sounds foolish.......

.....So that’s what the administration has been up to. Meanwhile, Walker is growing more confident on foreign policy issues. In a Fox interview last night, he responded to the president’s attack: “The thing about that statement is this is a guy in the last year who called ISIS....the jayvee squad, who just last fall his administration continues to call Yemen a success story, who had a Secretary of State under Hillary Clinton gave Russia a reset button and then they ultimately went into the Ukraine. This is a guy who has the audacity to be talking about schooling anyone when it comes to foreign policy."

He also made certain to include Hillary Clinton in his indictment.....

Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak (one of Democrats’ favorites and a Labor Party member) agrees with Walker on a take-it-or-leave-it approach.

So given the choice between Walker (who was kind enough not to use too many big words) and the Obama-Clinton-Kerry foreign policy, there really is no contest.

Unfortunately, the president refuses to learn from experience and adjust to reality. Hence, we find ourselves with a list of concessions to Iran, Iran on the move in multiple places,the Islamic State taking root in two countries and junior partner Bashar al-Assad still in power and slaughtering hundreds of thousands of his people. There is a big word for that: incompetent.

When something like that concerns Obama, it is most likely not a tough act to follow.

We should be sending this brilliant summation to everyone we know.

Tomorrow I expect the Obama spokesperson will remind the media that Ron Paul and his ilk want old people to die and children to starve to death.

Are we there yet?

This administration has the country running on fumes, barely.

There is nothing that they can talk about that is positive or pro-American.

They will go down in infamy.

That was my thoughts as well, no great shakes; on such a subject your average freeper could “best” obama without having to even think about it.

There is so much wrong with King Obama’s foreign policy and the failures already ongoing that it will take months for Walker to digest it. Walker has been working hard against a communists empire of Democrats in his state that it takes up huge amounts of his time. But his success with his State is a sign that he will have the same amount of success with foreign policy and the communists domestic of King Obama.

I think he’s ticked that we found a reserve tank he missed (fracking).
