foreign policy was the one continuity that anyone could have seen before the campaigning even started.

its the easiest way to realize they're all working for the same people and goals

Maybe it's because these naive bleeding heart liberals get in office and realize how dangerous it is. How easily it is for us to be attacked. But it's much easier to just blame an unproven "war machine".

no i like my explanation better

Strange how the same politician hasn't let that stop his domestic policy advancement.

Anyone who paid attention to his campaign is not surprised by how Obama's conducted himself on the foreign policy front.

this.

Because uh yeah, as much as people want to enact revisionist history. And despite the fact that SnC was still in pre-school during the campaign, Obama's pretty much done exactly what he said he would.

In other news, this is the second thread where CBF's told MB how it is, and I'm yet to see a decent response.

True, there are many obvious similarities between Obama and Bush in foreign policy and national security. But there are differences, even in defense appropriations.

Obama has modestly increased the defense budget while slashing defense R&D. He wants to employ more people in the military, perhaps at higher pay. That strikes me as being inspired by considerations other than defense of country.

The obvious escapes even closeted-Republicans like MB...Obama is doing exactly what he said he would do...

[Marcus Bryant]

Oh, the spin.

[balli]

What makes this thread and sentiment even more of a fail is the presumptive notion that Democrats can't provide for America's defense or involve America in an armed conflict without being Republicans. The left isn't obligated to utter pacifism just because they thought Iraq was a completely unnecessary and horribly managed disaster. Which it was.

[Marcus Bryant]

Yet more.

I'm [still] yet to see a decent response.

[Marcus Bryant]

Ah yes, the boorish has yet to sufficiently respond tactic.

Yes, because your two-word posts were ever so well-thought out and substantive. How dare I be so boorish as to question their worth or validity? My apologies good sir.

[Marcus Bryant]

Sufficient enough.

DarrinS just farted. Get on the case.

[EmptyMan]

Perhaps Obama is just not willing to take the brunt of the hit from Bush's house of cards falling apart.
