Exclusive: Obama Told Lawmakers Criticism of His Syria Policy is 'Horsesh*t’
The Obama Prog practice of throwing others under the bus returns with Hillary throwing Obama under her presidential campaign bus. However the pastime of one Prog throwing another under their Prog bus is legend. Anyone remember Stalin’s advice to Nikita Khrushchev?Hillary Clinton and congressmen alike have called on Obama to arm Syria’s rebels. But the president fumed at lawmakers in a private meeting for suggesting he should’ve done more.
President Obama got angry at lawmakers who suggested in a private meeting that he should have armed the Syrian rebels, calling the criticism “horseshit.”
The argument that America should have done more in Syria, made for years by foreign policy leaders in both parties and several members of Obama’s senior national security team, was brought back to the fore this past weekend. Obama and Hillary Clinton gave dueling interviews in which they publicly split on whether the security and humanitarian catastrophe in Syria could have been avoided if the United States had played a larger role. Obama’s outburst on July 31, one week prior, reveals the criticism was already getting to him, even before the White House tried to deflect Clinton’s remarks as pre-presidential political posturing.
