I watched the third debate again the other day, and then read the transcript of the first question one more time, and I noticed a comment that Obama made that was expunged from the transcript as [Crosstalk].

When Obama attacked Romney for being stuck in time for calling Russia the biggest geopolitical threat to the United States instead of Al Qaeda, Obama made this startlingly unpresidential retort:

"Governor, the 1970's called, and they want their policy back."

Now, that's just childish!

Over and over again, I have reason to say this guy is stuck at nine years old. That WAS childish.

Russia has never quite gotten over the fact that it tanked and the West didn’t. That’s true so much so, that Russia has sought to team up with China against us.

Chinese citizens are occupying Eastern Russia. Sooner or later, Russia is going to have to step in to end it, or watch China gobble up it’s Eastern frontier. What then? If Russia’s not careful, it will have to go to war with China at some point.

Russia should be siding with the West. Instead it plays the 1970s mind games that Obama thought was a joke. Russia still supports Syria and Iran. These are two very bad players in the region.

What’s Russia going to do when it’s Islamic headaches are supplied with a nuke by Iran, or even nuclear technology they can build upon themselves? Russia is played a very short-sighted game.

Obama understands none of this.

He’s so busy patting himself on the back for Iran not having the bomb yet, he completely misses the fact that Iran is proceeding at full speed developing one. And once they have it, it will be too late.

He dismissively laughs at things he can’t comprehend.

Russia, China, Islam, it’s a three headed beast that we would do best not to underestimate.

We need an adult in there.

Nine years old IS so seventies... for the guy we need in the Oval Office.

“Bob Woodward is gaming you.”

I never been a fan of Bob Woodward, but when I see him frequently with Sean Hannity on FAUX News with a “new” tone, I see that even HE has discovered a traitor in the W.H. with his “liberals” views!!!

Noonan apparently see it the same way???

Kind of funny really. Obama is bad, because he’s going to lose. “Let’s distance the Left from this guy, so his going down is seen like something we really wanted all along too.”

If Obama were popular right now, do you honestly think this book would have been published? Woodward marches in as the voice of the establishment Democrats. “We wanted no part of him either!”

LOL, they were riding this pony for all it was worth. And now they’re going to sell him to a dog food manufacturer.

“We never really like our Pony. Sure we allowed the nation to be hoodwinked. We helped every way we could. We spend 3.5 years doing it. But we really didn’t like what he was doing.”

ROTFL Yeah, I’m buying it Bob. /s

Where was Bob in the fall of 2011, and the spring of 2012? He could have started a ground-swell effort to have someone challenge Obama for the nomination. Where was the Democrat leadership? Where WAS Peggy Noonan?

Now Bob sees things clearly? This is about two things.

1. Bob wants to be seen as credible.
2. Bob wants to run cover for the Leftists.
3. Bob wants to make a buck.

Come forward in 2009 or 2010, if you want me to believe you Bob. You allowed Obamacare, the apology tour, the selling out of Israel and our own interests, and countless other things to take place. And now you have a conscience? Not buying it Bob.
