Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Tuesday night pounced on the opportunity to criticize President Obama and Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy following North Korea’s claim that the country had conducted a test of a hydrogen bomb.

Rubio said that Obama has “stood idly by” as North Korea built up its stock nuclear weapon and that world leaders are “taking advantage of Obama’s weakness.”

    Completely ignoring the real culprits, George W. Bush and John Bolton.

  2. Actually, it all goes back to Ike and John Foster Dulles, who refused to unleash Chiang to take back China in the 1950s.

    Well, that makes as much sense as Rubio.

    I was wondering how long it would take someone to blame the North Korea bomb test on Obama. After all, it’s all President Obama’s fault. History obviously plays no role in any conflict until Obama took office. LOL!

  4. People need to quit pulling Rubio’s finger.

  5. Petulant, desperate, and untrue.
