Bolton: ‘Our Biggest National-Security Problem Is Barack Obama’

John BoltonFrom NationalReview.com’s The Corner, by Eliana Johnson.

With the Obama administration grappling with a crisis in Ukraine, former United Nations ambassador John Bolton took the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday and declared that the country’s “biggest national-security problem is Barack Obama.” 

Bolton honed in on the terror attack in Benghazi, Libya, which he described as paradigm of President Obama’s foreign-policy failures because the president “has done nothing to avenge Chris Stevens’s death.” 

“That is a terrible lesson for our adversaries,” Bolton said. “Under Barack Obama you can murder his personal representative and get away scot-free.” 

Absolutely correct.  Having worked around felons for over 40 years, their predominant mindset is “what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine unless you’re strong enough to stop me.”  Why is it so difficult for Leftists to understand this concept?

He also warned that the matter will come back to haunt Hillary Clinton if, as most suspect, she launches a presidential bid in 2016. “We will be happy to tell Hillary Clinton in unmistakable terms, ‘We know what difference it makes, even if you don’t,’” he said.

I should also care to offer: lack of our energy independence is also a huge — if not greater — threat to our national security.
