Politico’s Dylan Byers announces ‘new rule’ for criticizing Obama

New rule, champs: You don't get to fault Obama for being "weak" unless you clearly state what you want him to do that he's not doing.

@DylanByers You mean like go back in time and undo the missile defense pullout from eastern europe?

@sdwinkler @DylanByers Hit it on the head.

@DylanByers You mean like go back in time and undo the Syrian red line threat?

— S D Winkler (@sdwinkler) March 18, 2014

@DylanByers Not give an ultimatum to Russia and Syria that threatens action followed by inaction.

@DylanByers You mean, like, stuff that might have induced Vlad to act to differently or change course? Ha! He's weak, WEAK, I tell yee.

@DylanByers says one cannot assert that Obama's weakness enabled Putin's aggression. He feels weakness is only a present tense construct.

@DylanByers uhm, how about go back in time and not be such a naive chowderhead?

— Neal Dewing (@Neal_Dewing) March 18, 2014

Yes, because it's OUR foreign policy that has been in place the past 5 years. https://t.co/BROaE0FK1t @DylanByers

. @DylanByers So because 5 years of Obama's policies have left us with no good options, we aren't allowed to criticize him?

@DylanByers arms for Ukraine, relaunch ballistic missile defense in Eastern Europe, sanction the shit out of Russia. Obama's WEAK

@thegoldfarb Sign me up for most (all?) of that but it would neither have deterred until now, nor will it induce reversal.@DylanByers

— Humphrey Bohun (@HumphreyBohun) March 18, 2014

@HumphreyBohun No—it will not reverse Putin, but it will bleed them. And if we’d done as much for Georgia, might not be in this situation.

— Michael Goldfarb (@thegoldfarb) March 18, 2014

@DylanByers C'mon. No fly zone in Syria. Missile defense in e. Europe. No loosening Iran sanctions w/o dismantling centrifuges. For a start.

@DylanByers @allahpundit WH talking pt. Start at the beginning of his presidency. Leave anti-missile. No START. Hit Syria. 5yrs of screw ups

New rule, champ: You don't get to make rules after joining in the mocking of Romney when he called the Russian situation. @DylanByers
