She knows the Bush Doctrine...BUT if she subscribes to it....Obama can then say...SEE ANOTHER GEORGE W BUSH in the whitehouse...
You are correct.
Disagree. She whiffed at the Bush Doctrine question. Didn't know what it was--exactly. She answered it like a politician, though . . . didn't let it stop her. But that's the only question that I thought Gibson "got her" with.
My snap grade was a C based on the Bush doctrine, and I thought she was a bit tentative with some other answers.
But it certainly wasn't the meltdown that I'm sure the Dems were hoping for. And, she'll get better, I'm sure.
I agree. I don’t know if she did know all of what the so-called “Bush Doctrine” is, but then no one does since it is not a stated doctrine, but a laundry list of foreign policy initiatives from the administration relating to the War on Terror. Gibson’s paraphrasing of the doctrine was a misstatement of one part of that “doctrine”. Bush didn’t say we’d preemptively strike any country that posed a threat, but any country that threatened us AND harbored terrorists and gave them assistance.
Her answer was actually quite good—she and McCain need to (and should) differentiate themselves from Bush’s doctrine and make their own.
