Bolton is a nut case. He should be worth anybody's time. He couldn't even get Congress' approval for the UN post.

Palin, the less said the better. She is not even accepted by her party as their spokesperson.

I listened to Rudy on CNN yesterday (Piers Morgan). I do noy understand how he can be so stupid to think that the CNN viewers would go for what he said and that instead the viewers would scoff at him. He was a successful prosecutor and hence we cannot say he is a dud. I don't understand what part of Obama's message he didn't get.

Obama's 20 minutes plus speech can be summed up as follows:

Military force is being used against Gadaffi to ensure innocents are not massacred (aka Benghazi). We have destroyed his capability to massacre his own people. The goal is regime change but it is to attained diplomatically and not militarily.

THen I ponder if he is backing up his words with his actions. I see he is in that he has ordered precision strikes to target the military installations only. He is sending Hillary to confer with the world community to pressure Gadaffi to step down. And he is working with the rest of the countries to choke Gaddafi economically through the arms embargo.

I ask, why the fuss.

<<great speech by Obama

Not everyone agrees - Here are comments from his potential competition. Critical as one would expect.

politico.com;

Palin, Giuliani and Bolton. The three stooges. Not one worth spending 5 seconds listening to.
