[Peace-discuss] obama a born-again Neo-con - Bill Kristol

["E. Wayne Johnson 朱稳森"]

Bloody Bill Kristol Praises Obama as a Born-Again Neo-Con.
(maybe Barry is just the same old con.)

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.

In his “You’ve come a long way, baby” post 
<http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/you-ve-come-long-way-baby_555622.html> 
Monday night, Kristol praised Obama for his address to the American 
people about the action he took against Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. 
On Wednesday’s “Red Eye” on the Fox News

Channel, Kristol took things a step further and declared Obama “a 
born-again neo-con.”

Host Greg Gutfeld asked Kristol how he felt about Obama coming to him 
for help (reportedly the president had met with him and others prior to 
his Monday night address

“He didn’t come to me for help, of course

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.”

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.

“What’s the joke – they told me if I voted for McCain

we’d be going to war in a third Muslim country?” Kristol said. “I voted 
for McCain and we’re doing it.”
