Our long wait is over-Santorum weighs in

Santorum: Bush’s Iraq Approach Is ‘Lincolnesque’
Today on Fox News, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) said President Bush’s approach to the war in Iraq, particularly his recent speech, was “Lincolnesque.”

Fox Host Martha MacCallum asked Santorum what he thought of the criticism that President Bush “is just going his own way, not listening to the people, not listening to Congress.” Santorum responded, “Good for him.” Santorum also added that Bush understands, but most people aren’t aware, that we are already at war with Iran. Watch it:

MACCALLUM: You say most people do not recognize it, and the talk you hear a lot these days is that the president is just going his own way, not listening to the people, not listening to congress. What do you have to say about that?

SANTORUM: Good for him. What i would say is that the Commander-in-Chief in the United States, in Lincoln-esque type of form, has to understand the information that he is given, the the vast — that the vast majority of which the american public do not have, and he has to act in the national security interest of this country.

1. approaching circular logic zone
The people do not understand because the people do not have the information

4. "Don't you think that the President has more information that you?"
Remember that little dandy one from before the war?

3. Only to the extent that both men walk upright.
That's where any similarity ends.

6. What is with allowing losers to offer an opinion as if it matters? If
the majority of his constituents didn't think his opinion mattered, why should the country at large? I have no problem with those who have stepped out of public office offering up their views, or those that are currently in office, but losers coming out and telling us their opinion are no different than Brittany Spears giving us her views on how the President is doing.

Step away from the camera, Santorum. Give it some space. You lost. Now go away for awhile.
