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.

“WaPo conservative” is just another way to say “Communist”.

The self proclaimed conservative “was a foreign policy adviser to John McCain in 2008 and to Mitt Romney in 2012.”

We were going to have our first black President, even though he wasn’t eligible under the Constitution.
Both parties made sure of it.
Both McCain and Romney took dives.

The GOP had planned to give us Yeb!

Divine Providence moved Trump to run and win.
Trump can’t do it alone.
We have to stop electing Bush League Republicans and replace them with patriots.

Yep, he’s a “Scoop Jackson Democrat”...

I hate to admit it but, way back when, I was a "Scoop Jackson Democrat", but that only lasted long enough for him to lose in the primaries. I migrated to Pat Buchanan, then Ronald Reagan Rex.

Scoop Jackson was an honorable man and I am still proud to say that I supported him way back when. However, I moved to the right as I grew older, and am now solidly in the corner of President Donald Trump ...

Hey, Vespa: Find out what is causing the hallucinations and stop it.

I was a foreign policy adviser to John McCain in 2008 and to Mitt Romney in 2012.

In other words, you were one of the Sunni Muslims who have polluted the GOP for more than 25 years.

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.

His name should have been in the first paragrap - then all of us would have known. It's like calling George Will a 'conservative'... Shame on the writer ... Shame on the headline writer...

A sheep in sheep's clothing with a "beware of the wolf" sign around his neck.

Sounds like he missed the media concocted version of Obama, the empty suit who ran the country via EO. Obama who cost his party a ton of seats across the country.
Does he miss BLM riots and shooting cops and Obama standing by the thugs too?
