   I’m sure Obama would say the same thing, just as unequivocally.

   And in other current news: General Franco is STILL dead.

   This is too funny.

   But it does have a more serious side. He made these comments in the context of bashing John Huntsman for serving in the Obama administration. Bolton’s basic position is that you would need a crisis on the scale of WWII – certainly not anything we have now – in order to legitimately work for an administration of the other party. Just one more step in the process of tearing the country in two…

   @Tano: Agree. The subject for another post, methinks.

   But wait, I thought Islamofascism was an existential threat, the most deadly the U.S. has ever encountered. Damn slippery neocons!

   I feel comfortable making a blanket statement that anyone who puts party before country is effectively a traitor, and can not be trusted in any government position.

   Former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton: ”I will say this, unequivocally: I would not work in Barack Obama’s administration.”

   Does he realize that this statement makes me more likely to vote for Obama in 2012?

    I’ll just go by my old stand by: If John Bolton is against it, I’m for it.

    It also works if you insert “Donald Rumsfeld.”
