Exactly. Hillary will use this as a major opening. She has to with the Save Sudan people and the various humanitarian excursions of her, ahem, husband.

I thought that the Dem mantra from Somalia to Serbia/Kosovo to the Sudan was “We must save the ____ people from civil wars and genocide.”

He's being honest. That is healthy.

In recent years, a polarity-flip has occurred in U.S. politics. Many/most? of the people considered the "right" are, in fact, mostly liberal interventionists. The people considered "liberals", on the "left", are in fact mostly isolationist America-firsters. That's just the way it is now.

The only real problem is that so few acknowledge it as openly as Obama just did.

Obama the (crypto-)Sunni Muslim Socialist (shades of Saddam) will watch a genocide with glee.

Vietnam, Cambodia, Rwanda... Democrats just LOVE genocides.

Hmm. I wonder if he ever criticized the US for NOT getting involved in the genocide in Rwanda. I’d be willing to bet that he did.

In liberalthink, US military force should only be applied where there is little or no US national interest involved.

The funniest quote on this was Kucinich at the black panderfest debate, where in an outraged tone, to loud applause, he claimed that Bush would already have invaded if there was any oil there.

In fact, Sudan is sitting on huge oil reserves which the Chinese are exploiting with absolutely no interest or concern for genocide, slavery or human rights at all.

From a supposedly serious candidate for the office of POTUS? That’s just pitiful.
