"Unserious."

Jennifer Rubin, who, according to this Google image search, is either very, very hot or a paper bag special, doesn't understand that elections have consequences:

...[Obama] was so perfunctory in his remarks on national security as to be unserious.

Granted, when you are busy dismantling private enterprise there isn’t much time left in the day for other things, but this is no joke. We have troops on two battlefields, we face two despotic regimes with ambitions for nuclear weapons, and we have unratified and outstanding trade agreements. And all we get is a few campaign throwaway lines about ending the war in Iraq and closing Guantanamo.

The question remains why Obama would just rather not discuss it. Well, he might be uninterested.


Rubin is confused, obviously, or maybe she isn't embarrassed to have a public temper tantrum. What Obama is discussing is drawing a war to a close, not escalating it across other borders, which is what Rubin and her merry band of losers would like.

To them, ending the war in Iraq and closing Quantanamo are mere afterthoughts -- "throwaway lines" -- which should surprise no one who recalls how casually they rushed into the war.
