I just hope someone in the primaries is noticing he's incapable of swearing off even the dumbest of W's poo poo. How hard is it to say "look, Putins always been a baddie. My brother might not be a soaring orator but I think its clear he was talking about Putin personally, not politically or professionally. This is stupid"

Nope, the ex KGB dictator who's political enemies keep mysteriously dying was a really great guy until Obama was so lovely he made nice mr Putin unable to resist invading other countries.

In your opinion, Governor Bush, can man and fish coexist peacefully?

I'd disagree; there are plenty of Dubya's comments or ideas that are so well known to be a liability that it's unforgivably stupid that he'd be blindsided by having to deal with them.

There should be someone on his campaign whose only job is to prep answers to questions beginning with "knowing what you know now ..."

While certainly true, fact checking your brother's ability to stare into the soul of a Russian leader doesn't seem like something you'd prepare for. Differences in policy towards Russia then and now, sure. But answering whether or not your brother is a liar about seeing Vladimir Putin's soul?

Unfortunately, Putin's true name is inscribed on a needle, which is hidden in an egg, which is buried under an oak tree on an island in the sea. So Bush (and presumably Obama) have been unable to obtain it.

Those look like sandals, presumably he took off the baseball cleats to come inside.

Rand looks far more comfortable in baseball clothes than in business wear; he should make this his campaign outfit going forward.

I think given the full context of his comments ("robust", "consistent", "aggressive") he was saying that Putin was emboldened by Obama's multiple red lines and general flubbing wrt Syria.

Obama is too outwardly sane-acting to be president. Our rivals know he isn't willing to push the big red button over anything but the most extreme of provocations, so they feel free to act with impunity on the world stage.

In times like these, America doesn't need a calm, cool-headed leader. It needs a madman.

The executive board of the Iowa GOP has just unanimously voted to kill the Iowa straw poll.

They were mostly afraid that if it produced another absurd result, then states would begin to more seriously question and challenge the first-in-the-nation status of the Iowa caucus.

Do "calm, cool-headed" leaders draw clear lines of demarcation when it comes to military action and then fail to follow through?

Seems like Obama wrote a check he failed to find the political will to cash, that's all.

In my mind, a true Tuvok Obama would have foreseen the consequences of saber-rattling to begin with.

regarding Syria and red lines, the human tragedy that is happening to innocent civilians there is so strong I almost wouldn't mind us involvement, including boots on the ground. We invaded Afghanistan for revenge and Iraq for a blood feud, why not Syria to save its people.

Yes I get that's it's more complicated than that-but it's bad there.
