National security -- i mean a lot of reasons why liberals hated bush. if they were honest with themselves, they would talk about this administration as well. so its tricky for any republican to talk about these liberal criticisms and look genuine, but thats what i would advice romney to do. not a chest thumping pro america hawkish foreign policy speech but rightly pointing out the broken promises where hes failed us on the right and where hes let you down on the left. >> well, i agree with a lot...

Potential there, and this is going sort of way down the line where theres a precedent thats set by obama sort of accepting a lot of what bush did and also expanding it in many ways. if you expand presidential power that way, that means your successor or the successor successor will take it and expand it further. we could look back a generation from now and say this was the starting point. this was the moment of certain presidential power on the drones, for instance, or the kill list where this w...
