Quote:The members of Barack Obama’s administration in exile have become conspicuously noisy of late—even more so than usual. Former CIA Director John Brennan accused Donald Trump and his administration of engaging in “outrageous,” “narcissistic” behavior typical of “vengeful autocrats” by threatening proportionate retaliation against countries that voted to condemn the United States in the United Nations, as though that were unprecedented. It is not. James Clapper, Obama’s director of national intelligence, all but alleged that the president is a Russian “asset.” Perhaps the most acerbic and incendiary series of accusations from the former Democratic president’s foreign-policy professionals were placed in the New York Times by Obama’s national security advisor, Susan Rice. In her estimation, America has abdicated its role as a “force for good.”

It’s no coincidence that these overheated condemnations accompany abundant evidence that the Trump administration is finding its legs. As the last administration’s undeserved reputation as sober-minded foreign policy rationalists is dismantled one retrospective report at a time, its jilted members are lashing out.

Rice’s attacks on the Republican administration deserve the most attention, if only because they are the most apoplectic. Donald Trump’s recently released national-security review paints a “dark,” “almost dystopian” vision of the world, Rice contended. His world is full of “hostile states and lurking threats.” Rice claimed that there is “no common good” in Trump’s worldview. What’s more, there is no “international community” and no “universal values.” There are just “American values.”

In 2008, he actually had a chance to be a uniter. He instead chose the political route which was to be a divider. Divider in chief.....

As I said, the job was bigger than the man - and he never grew into it......remained a hack politician for his entire time...

thank the good goodies for term limits.....

hands down, the worst POTUS in spending and national security/foreign policy ever.....it's still amazes me that Carter runs a distant second in that category....

all that guy had was the gift of gab......

that's the beauty of DJT.....he's a such a goon with his 'speak' at times, but his ideology is simply spot on.....it's the latter that matters.....that's what the dippos have forgotten and continue to do so....

While all of Rice's comments deserve to be taken apart word by word, the highlighted comments really go to the heart of what the Obama administration was all about....being an appeaser of those who'd do us harm and an apologist for American greatness.

For the love of god woman, the world IS full of hostile states and lurking threats, always was, and no amount of liberal feel-goodism is going to change that. Trump represents America, Americans, and American values. Obama should have tried it.

Never has a confederacy of dunces been brought together like they were under that clown.

Every opportunity they had to make strong decisions they instead opted for limp-wristed sheistiness.

Bunch of ******* spineless weasels. Good riddance.
