As Obama considers enacting amnesty "by the end of summer," Webb, the former Virginia Senator, blasted Obama's extensive use of executive actions to labor leaders, reportedly saying that Obama "has gone way too far away from the legislative branch.""It certainly is outside all precedent, and the Congress should have stepped in," Webb later said, according to the Associated Press.Iowa reporters also asked Webb about Hillary Clinton's foreign policy, and Webb said that "there's time to have that discussion later." He then said the "actions in the Arab Spring were probably detrimental" and indicated that he needed more time than the 25-minute program allowed to criticize Clinton's foreign policy failures."It would probably take up the whole show," he said on Iowa Press.
Said this stuff in Iowa. Interesting.
I believe Jim Webb. He is one of my heroes, a writer-warrior who has been there, done that and responded with his own artistic truth and even in prose. At one time he was on the short list for veep under Obama. He was also Secretary of the Navy for a brief time under Reagan (although a damnable dem as a Senator). I will seriously consider anything he so eloquently has to say on any subject.
ReplyDeleteIs he Prescurious? Too intellectual, even if he convincingly tears into Hillie, her aura will win the low info demo.
ReplyDeleteAlso said this in Ioway: Former Virginia Senator Jim Webb says it doesn't do any good for U.S. national security for us to be an occupying power in the Middle East. He says we opened up Pandora's Box when we invaded Iraq, because the lid came off sectarian violence. Webb says if ISIS is involved in international terrorism that could affect the U.S., we have the right to act now, but we must be careful in defining who ISIS is.
ReplyDeleteI think you underestimate the amount of disruption he could cause to a Hillary-sails-through-the-primaries scenario. Lotta folks starved for a non-goofy and / or non - radical Dem.
ReplyDeleteMe included. It is pretty clear he wants to run. It did not take him long to break from the Obama camp. For some reason he chose not to run what would have been a very expensive campaign for reelection to the Senate which would have likely finished him if he lost. It appears he is going to need a cash cow or 2 or 3 if he is going to go the distance 2016. Long shot for a dar horse who might make a good Commander in Chief. You would not abide his ideas on inequality.
ReplyDeleteProbably so, but it would be a very healthy move for our country to see the Scoop Jackson wing of the Dem party get resurrected.
ReplyDeleteIt's no good to have one of the two major political parties of the world's lone superpower and beacon of freedom be an enemy of its own country.
Ooh, what's that cologne you're sporting, I think I got a whiff of reasonableness. Are you perchance biparcurious?
ReplyDeleteMy crystal balls tell me he will be Secy of State or Defense in a Hillie admin.
