Oh so it was Bolton who was right? Obama won the last two elections because the US if full of useful idiots. Most don't even know anything is going on in the Ukraine.......hence the term useful idiots.
If Bolton gets credit for saying Russia may invade the Ukraine, so be it. He has yet to explain why anyone in America ought to care except the Ukranian ambassador.

You are wrong to stick to the fiction that Americans picked Obama and his team because we are uninformed- quite the reverse.
We knew EXACTLY what we'd be getting in McCain/Palin or Romney/Ryan... And we said " no thanks"
Until the GOP figures out why, they are gonna keep losing national elections.
