Just imagine 'if Bush said it': David Corn's Obama quote rings bells

President Obama included some tough talk in his speech today to the United Nations about terrorism. Mother Jones’ David Corn quoted Obama:

Obama on ISIS: "The only language understood by killers like this is the language of force."

Just imagine the reaction if a certain former president said that:

Be honest, how many words would you have spent criticizing this if Bush said it? https://t.co/kxqc0XrCiS @DavidCornDC

But Obama said it so he’ll get not only a pass from many, but kudos for the forceful language.

@DavidCornDC If Bush had said it Corn would have claimed it was a distraction in a run up to the midterm elections
