Megyn Kelly: C’mon, you can’t blame Obama for this North Korea situation
Hot Air ^ | NOVEMBER 23, 2010 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 11/24/2010 5:34:17 PM PST by RobinMasters

Via Mediaite. Alternate headline: “Confirmed: Megyn Kelly’s a RINO.” Seriously, though, explain to me (and her, by proxy) how the NorKs would have behaved differently over the past two years with Bush in office, especially given that their first nuclear test came on his watch.

When they went ahead with their ICBM test launch in April 2009, The One demanded that they be punished with the same ceremonial wrist slap that all U.S. presidents resort to, i.e. a Security Council statement.

They responded by breaking off from six-party talks, and not only has he refused to re-engage them — even after their nuclear test last year (and notwithstanding his nonsense during the campaign about talking with anyone without preconditions) — but officials in the White House are already warning that they won’t reward bad behavior by rushing into new talks after yesterday’s incident either.

On the contrary, Obama’s going ahead with a joint carrier exercise with South Korea in the Yellow Sea this weekend, which is bound to annoy China as much as it will North Korea. What reason is there to think North Korea’s been more erratic lately because of who’s in the White House than because of the instability created by the succession of power from Kim pere to Kim fils?

Sorry, Megyn, but even in April 2009, American people already said it :

59 Percent of Obama Voters Think President 'Not Tough Enough' on North Korea

Sizable majorities of Democrats (65 percent), Republicans (78 percent) and independents (61 percent) agree Obama should be tougher on North Korea. Among those voters who backed Obama in the 2008 presidential election, 59 percent say he has not been tough enough . . . On Iran, the findings are almost identical: 66 percent overall say Obama has not been tough enough, including 57 percent of Democrats, 80 percent of Republicans and 59 percent of independents.

Poll: 66% say Obama’s not being tough enough on Iran

Megyn ... You are usually much smarter than this.

In international politics, the perception of strength and the perception of our willingness to use it are powerful ameliorators of rogue nation bad behavior.

The same hour Ronald Reagan was sworn in as President of the United States, Iran released the hostages they had held illegally for 444 days in their act of war by invading our embassy.

I sort of agree with Megyn. That is not to say that the Zero has handled any of it correctly. I don't even blame Bush or Clinton. It was that Donkey Carter that undermined Clinton and forced his hand. Maybe Clinton would have handled the situation well without Carter interference. Probably not, but we will never know.

As for the current question, is there anybody out there that thinks the Zero will be able to deal with the North Koreans in any fashion that would seem remotely adequate to protect our national interests?

Can't possibly be zero's fault. If it were he would already have blamed Bush for it. (sarc)

What has this administrations response to Nicaragua invading Costa Rica?
Nothing but Crickets chirping!
So of course against a country that could do some damage there will be even less Crickets.

Since January, 2009, we’ve had two aggressive military actions by the North Koreans. So it must be Bush’s fault.

Pretty much my thoughts also.

zero is viewed as a weakling and a neophite with no clue.

The planet is emboldened against the US because of zero.

Wow - I’m actually suprised (but grateful) she would pose like this............more FOX viewers I guess.

I can’t believe how many libs admit they think she’s hot, some of the male libs too.
