clo, replace the word clear with transient.

As Pres Nixon said at one time when asked about him verus Kennedy and Johnson and Viet Nam and what he would have done ...

Nixon said, in effect, I'm not sure what I would have done, but unlike them, I would have had a choice.

A clear blatant recognition that Democrats have to prove the "toughness" chops everyday, and Republicans can actually do what they think is best.

Obama shouldn't have "surged" Afghanistan, or maybe he should have, but he didn't have a choice. He's a Democrat.

I'd love to hear Joe Biden use this quote:
"but he acts instead as if he learned his foreign policy at the International House of Pancakes, where the menu and architecture rarely changes."

The World We’re Actually Living In

FOR the first time in a long, long time, a Democrat is running for president and has the clear advantage on national security policy. That is not “how things are supposed to be,” and Republicans sound apoplectic about it. But there is a reason President Obama is leading on national security, and it was apparent in his U.N. speech last week, which showed a president who understands that we really do live in a more complex world today — and that saying so is not a cop-out. It’s a road map. Mitt Romney, given his international business background, should understand this, but he acts instead as if he learned his foreign policy at the International House of Pancakes, where the menu and architecture rarely changes.
