Bolton confirms 2012 interest


In an interview on Aaron Klein's radio show, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton confirmed his interest in the 2012 presidential race while taking the opportunity to critique President Obama's foreign policy, arguing that the president is not comfortable advancing American interests around the globe and prefers to focus on domestic policies.

When asked about his interest in challenging Obama, Bolton said, "Yes, I am considering it. And largely for the reasons we just talked about. I am very concerned about the direction of national security policy. I am concerned that we hardly talk about it at national-level debates in the mainstream media. The president, as they say, just seems to view national security issues as an irritation, as a distraction from what his real priorities are."

"Coming into the 2012 election cycle, I don't have the slightest doubt that while economic issues are very much on people's minds, as they should be, it is not in our interest to continue to ignore foreign and national security issues. So, if I did run — and I haven't made a decision; I have never run for office one way or the other, so it would be a pretty big decision to do it — I just think this has got to be more of priority," said Bolton.

I welcome ambassador Bolton into the Republican debate. :rofl:
