Sully is at it again, this time spining nonsense about Hillary Clinton's responsibility for Obama's delayed Libyan war:
ANDREW SULLIVAN, THE ATLANTIC: Well, I don’t think it’s wrong for a President of the United States to issue an opinion about some madman like Gaddafi. I do think that the American public might have been consulted before the United States goes to war. I mean, we now got, you know, the President tells people after the fact? I mean, you know, we go into a Middle Eastern country, we don’t know the consequences, it’s been hatched by Hillary and McCain. I mean, what could go wrong?
[Laughter]
SULLIVAN: I mean, when you think about it. And I think it, I’m just, I’m just, I don’t know why anybody voted for Obama in the primaries. I mean this is a, this, this initiative, this, this, this no-fly zone, this war essentially, is, is a Hillary-McCain concept...Look, we, people who voted for this guy wanted him to let the old politics go.
MATTHEWS: Transformational president.
SULLIVAN: Wanted him to actually tell us the truth about this stuff and to do the right thing. And that was the appeal of Obama. And two years later, we have this politicized Clintonian mess.
First things first: Andrew Sullivan is really dumb. This he has proven repeatedly.
Why is this British village idiot commenting on American politics in the first place.
No real American should take anything Sullivan says seriously. Especially since he himself cannot make up his mind about which side of the political fence he is on.
Conservative last year, and Obamabot now – who knows who Andrew Sullivan will be tomorrow?
Sully is an Obama patsy who still cannot admit he was wrong to support the empty suit from Chicago in the first place.
Why did anybody vote for Obama in the primaries? Ha. Good question, Sullivan, one Clinton Democrats have been asking for three years.
What took Sully so long to catch up?
It has been well known from long ago that Obama has no political compass expect doing what is best for Obama at any given moment.
At one time that was pretending to be anti-war giving an overrated anti-Iraq speech at a time and place when it required no political courage to do so.
When it came time to put up or shut up, Obama voted to extend the Iraq war just like every other calculating, divisive, manipulative Washington politician.
Obama the Transformational was always a lame fantasy cooked up by marketers – a ridiculous grand scheme that blind people like Sully fell for.
The rest of us always knew that Obama was a watered down, two bit, lily-livered flawed version of a Clinton Democrat – which is why we had the good sense to vote for the real shebang.
If Obama was actually taking his marching orders from Hillary – the nation can only hope this is true – then Khadafy would have been gone long ago.
Instead, President Hamlet dithered and fiddled until it was almost too late. Khadafy’s power in Libya is now almost entrenched – Obama should have acted weeks ago when Khadafy was on his heels.
At the Gridiron dinner last week, Obama joked about Hillary trying to get his attention on Libya:
"I do have a couple of regrets to pass along. My Secretary of State could not be with us. I dispatched to the Middle East to talk about how these countries can transition to new leaders. Though I got to be honest. She's gotten a little passionate about the subject. These past few weeks, it's been tough falling asleep with Hillary out there on Pennsylvania Avenue, shouting, throwing rocks at the window."
Does Obama think this kind of joke helps him?
It reinforces the image of Hillary as strong, serious, engaged, and focused – and of him as asleep at the wheel during 3am phone crises.
Obama ought to do more than just listen to Hillary – he ought to step aside in 2012 and let the Democrats run an actual Democrat.
Sullivan meanwhile should join the rest of the Obamabots in the nursery – and save American adults from the vagaries of his bad British advice.
