Excuse me while I correct you

Mr Bouvier, You make a lot of sweeping statements that you seem to consider are facts when they are in reality interpretations and no more. I could argue every point but I must take issue with two in particular, one because you are just plain wrong, and the other because it is just plain blasphemous for you to bring up Germans and fourth reichs and consider it in any way acceptable to make comparisons to Romney. What on earth are you guys drinking where you are? How can you feel ok with making such statements? I just do not get it at all.

The first point that I mentioned that you are wrong about is ascribing the Arab 'spring' to Bush. Sorry, no. The plans may have been in place, but the impetus and green light for the Islamists to go to work in earnest with their islamist takeovers occurred as a result of Mr. Obama's Cairo speech. He gave them carte blanche to proceed with impunity. Everyone may have hated Bush, but being a perceived crazy cowboy in the WH does wonders for deterrence, a strategy that we have hopelessly lost since Obama.
