Who knew?

In order to have enough experience in foreign policy to be POTUS, all one has to do is (according to Republicans like esteemed outgoing Senator Richard Lugar and some foreign policy "expert"):

1. Be a Missionary (to someplace like....um...France)
2. Work for a global company (i.e. Bain)
3. Help organize the Winter Olympics

Seriously, NPR did a story on this this afternoon, concluding- according to their guests- that Romney will be able to handle foreign policy just fine if elected POTUS.

If 0bama was qualified with no experience in anything with a real world application, then Romney can handle foreign policy.
Besides 0bama hasn't exactly done a good job in that area either.

and nobody has ever asked me to run. They wouldn't. I may be sympathethetic, but I'm not one of them, and I've never suffered as they did.

Here in DC we're overrun with charter schools and all the other Republicon BS. Even though this is in her backyard, I don't expect FLOTUS to come down here and fix it. It's up to us.

Obama has never held an actual job of any kind in his life, he's like Jerry Seinfeld minus the wit and the self deprecation.  These people are all ****ed up in the head.

What you fools over at the DUmp have yet to realize is that we don't need the rest of the world to like us.  Foreign policy isn't a popularity contest.  Other countries either need to respect us, or be scared shitless of us if they are belligerent powers.

I've said the same thing for years.  I don't give a flying rat's ass if 1 single country loves us, or even likes us, but I want ALL the countries that wish to do us harm to be crapping in their turbins if they even think of attacking us, and they should have their country replaced with a smoking hole if they do, as a reminder to anyone else with the same idea.

As far as this Syrian shit goes, as long as they're killing each other, let them.  Fewer muzzies we'll have to kill later.

They're from the "Willy Loman school" of foreign policy.

He killed the War Powers Resolution and for that I applaud him.

Why would she, it's not like her own kids are enrolled in it or anything.

H5.  If they have oil, I'm not against strategic smoking holes.  No sense in wasting good dinosaur juice.

If Obama being a community organizer makes him qualified to be POTUS, then it also makes a Janitor qualified.

It amazes me that libs can dare to criticize the experience any one bring to the table in the area of foreign politics when it is compared to the experience Obama had before he took office.

To them, being a community organizer is the only qualification you need.

But, Gator, being a "community organizer" transends all aspects of life.
