<p>Bloody Bill Kristol Praises Obama as a Born-Again Neo-Con.<br>
(maybe Barry is just the same old con.)<br>
</p>
<p>It’s not an endorsement Barack Obama probably expected — or wanted —
but Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol gave the president high marks
for his recent foreign policy gestures.</p>
<p>In his <a target="_blank"

come a long way, baby” post</a> Monday night, Kristol praised Obama for

Channel, Kristol took things a step further and declared Obama “a
born-again neo-con.”</p>
<p>Host Greg Gutfeld asked Kristol how he felt about Obama coming to
him for help (reportedly the president had met <a target="_blank"

him and others prior to his Monday night address</a>).</p>

Kristol said. “I’m not going to acknowledge that. He came to me to make
sure I was supporting his sound policies. Of course, since his sound
policies are more like the policies people like me have been advocating
for quite a while, I’m happy to support them. He’s a born-again
neo-con.”</p>
<p>Throughout 2007 and 2008 in the race for the Democratic presidential
nomination, Obama ran as the anti-war candidate. But Obama has taken on
different stripes with this gesture, Kristol joked.</p>
