Fuck that. Is he going to talk about Benghazi?
Otherwise Fox Not the News won’t show.
It’s worse that Watergate, you know… Somehow.
Let the juveniles gnash their teeth, bleat and moan of shoulds/woulda/coulda…
I’m just damn glad we have a real adult in the White House and not some delusional cowboy and his self-serving chicken-hawk sneer of a VP.
I hope Obama is going to be smarter and luckier than either Kennedy or Johnson who thought they could dodge the bullet in Vietnam by sending a few trainer / advisers.
He might have said well, they wanted to go it on their own, and I wasn’t around when some other guy thought it was so important to get rid of one bad dictator among many around the world for concocted reasons, so…good luck with that guys. Hope it all turns out fine. But what he decided to do is about what is to be expected from reasonable statesman who is not a hothead Republican neocon, thank you Jesus.
