I was watching Fox News when Krauthammer made his comments captured below. I said, "Right On." Disgusting indeed.
Krauthammer transcript: [my bolding]
I want to point out one thing about what Obama had said when he talked about “the long years of drift.” There is something truly disgusting about the way he cannot refrain from attacking Bush when he’s being defensive about himself. I mean, it’s beyond disgraceful here. He won election a year ago. He became the Commander [in] Chief two months later. He announced his own strategy — not the Bush strategy, his strategy — six months ago, and it wasn’t off-handed, it was in a major address, with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense standing with him. And now he’s still talking about “the drift” in the Bush years. What’s happening today is not a result of the drift, so-called, of the Bush years, it’s because of the drift in his years. It’s because of the flaws in his own strategy, which is what he’s actively examining.
Me: Alas, this transcript from HotAir, fails to include Krauthammer's last few sentences, the last of which reads: "He ought to be honest, forthright, and courageous enough as a President to simply say 'I'm rethinking the strategy I adopted six months ago, and not, once again, childlike, attack his predecessor."
Yes. Exactly. "Childlike!" The right word. Let the man grow up, and be a man. "Childlike," indeed.
