John Bolton thinks Barack Obama has won George Bush's war on terror.
What other conclusion are we to come to, after seeing what the ex-recess-appointment-ambassador to the U.N. said about Jon Huntsman?
Bolton — who would lose, big time, to Huntsman in a literal beauty contest, by the way — criticized the former Utah governor for serving in the Obama Administration. (Perhaps he's just jealous that Huntsman was able to win Senate confirmation, and he wasn't.)
"There is no patriotic obligation to help advance the career of a politician who is otherwise pursuing interests that are fundamentally antithetical to your values," Bolton griped to the right-wing National Review. "This is not like World War II, when we are facing an existential threat to the country as a whole, and you...put partisanship aside."
You mean, Mr. Fake Ambassador, like after September 11, 2001? When the Republicans expected the entire nation to fall into political lockstep behind the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived?
Hm. Bolton's logic seems a tad off, unless he truly is crediting President Obama with eliminating the existential threat of Al Qaeda. Or unless, like so many Republicans, he thinks the existential threat is Mr. Obama himself. What makes us think it's the latter?
