"in part by staking out positions to the right of former President George W. Bush."

And I'd consider being accused of having policies to the right of George Bush #43 a good thing, not a bad thing.

I’m trying to find the point of Obama’s rampage....besides the typical shooting off his mouth mode.

Any we know how the voters stop to listen when a national security adviser to GOP Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign speaks.

How does one fail the CIC test if they are not yet CIC? On the contrary, as the current CIC, Obama has failed miserably...and sadly, there’s an Apology Tour and dead bodies to back it up.
