The Patriot Post® · Words Aren't Like Chicken Soup

Mona Charen: “Obama has shown greater bellicosity toward Republicans (described as ‘terrorists with bombs strapped to their chests’) than toward our actual adversaries. When Mitt Romney cited Russia a long-term adversary of the U.S. in 2012, Obama’s contempt was glacial: ‘The '80s called and they want their foreign policy back.’ … It can’t do any harm to talk, right? That was Obama’s claim in 2008, when he suggested that he would meet with any rogue leader. He thinks words are like chicken soup – they may not help but they cannot hurt. We’re now seeing how dangerous that view is.”
