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 only reason the Kenyan’s presidency was lost was because it was illegal from Day One.

A few weeks ago Obama was in South Africa talking about “White Supremacy” movements in the world.. I wonder how many White families died after that speech?
McRomney supporters yern for the day when a Democrat occupies the White House again, because actively engaging our allies and enemies rather than just letting everyone do what they want to us.
Color me shocked.
The best part about this article is how many Democrats are reading it and going ‘OH YEAH, this will be Trump’s DOOM! We’re sure to win the House, Senate and White House! WE CAN’T LOSE NOW!’
At the end of the day, it’s just Democrat wishcasting through McRomney proxies...
The author is not Matt Vespa, it’s Max Boot.
Boot used to be solid, now he’s become a snowflake. What a feckless phony.
Scoop Jackson was an honest and honorable man who loved his country.
Bush League Republicans aren’t and don’t.
I think there is a LOT of GENIUS ENVY! Max Boot has turned into an AWFUL PERSON!!
What color is the sky in his world?
A conservative would want anything of Obama? Not a real one.
Republicans don’t like responsibility.
They want the Rats to make all the decisions so they can bitch about it, and still enjoy all the perks.
Well, this is some Grade-A crap. Apparently, there are some so-called conservatives that miss Barack Obama and would take him “back in a nanosecond.” It’s not because they support his policies. It’s because Donald Trump is president, and that is a sour grapes reason. Max Boot made this point in his op-ed this week:
Boot was solidly for wars we had no business engaging in.
He was always a feckless phony.
Reason and morality?!
Are you KIDDING ME?!
You’re seeing the breakdown of how bad intelligentsia is in this country. Like pop-culture science articles these idiots reading a bunch of books then spewing policy with no backing to reality are a real and present danger to this country.
That he doesn’t understand Trump’s rhetoric vs real world results is amazing to me. Talking smack IS a rational and reasoned negotiating tactic. Obama did it to Americans and our allies - he did NOT do it to our enemies.
Boot is a nevertrumper neocon
Israel hawk
Culture war denier
Open borders
The usual

Admitting you cheerfully worked for 2 quisling pieces of excrement means you have NO CREDIBILITY and should probably move to Venezuela where your kind lives.
Man, I should seriously look into one of those recorders of alternate realities to have made a record of That!
Sounds wonderful!
And here I am, stuck in my "real" one.
Why read any further?
Boot’s left hand is inside Jonah Goldberg’s trigger pocket if you get my drift
“His presidency appears to be a lost golden age when reason and morality reigned.”
Yeah, the good ole days, when Obama would praise an American Traitor,Bergdorf, and to top it off, release Five Terrorist in trade, while doing his signature, middle finger to the eye routine.
