Swampland: The Obama Doctrine v. The Bush Doctrine #p2 - Pirate Smile - 03-31-2011 04:01 PM
Joe Klein:
Quote:The Obama Doctrine v. The Bush Doctrine
In the words of a prominent Israeli:
The Obama Doctrine: He only goes if the entire world, including the Arab League, wants him to go.
The Bush Doctrine: He only goes if the entire world, except the British, doesn't want him to go.

The thread that follows contains a lot of other people's Doctrines - here are a few:
The Gingrich Doctrine: He'll talk about going one week and then talk about not going the next while diddling a staffer on his book tour.
The Cheney Doctrine: No U.S. troops go in anywhere unless Haliburton gets the contracts.
The Huckabee Doctrine: Hold off until you can figure out a way to keep the cash coming in.
The Biden Doctrine -- "This is a big f***ing deal."

If it had a "literally" thrown in there, it would be absolutely perfect. Maybe a "man" too.

That reminded me of one of my favorite Obama/Biden anecdotes:
Quote:WATCH: Obama's Note To Aide During Biden Speech: "SHOOT. ME. NOW."
He may have been his top choice for running mate but even Barack Obama knows that Joe Biden has a tendency to give long speeches.
In last night's documentary on Obama and McCain on PBS's "Frontline," Rolling Stone magazine's Ben Wallace-Wells related an amusing anecdote about Obama attending his first meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which happened to be a confirmation hearing for Condoleezza Rice.
About midway through the meeting, Joe Biden is "going on and on" and Obama scribbles a note and passes it back to his aide.
The note said simply: "SHOOT. ME. NOW."

The Palin Doctrine : We don't go in unless we can see Tripoli from our front porch.
The Bachmann Doctrine : Look into my eyes. No, really.
The Paul Doctrine : We are anti-war (if it's a Democrat in the White House).
The Pawlenty Doctrine : What do you mean you've never heard of me?
The Trump Doctrine : We go in only Ghadafi starts combing over like I do.
The Romney Doctrine : We go in after I discuss this with my Bishop.

Addenum to Trump Doctrine ..he knows he can't be president of the USA so he'll settle for the president of the NY chapter of birtherholics.Pawlenty is known for being aware of global climate change before the run for president and now he's claiming to be ignorant..seems it gets you further with the teagagbaggers.
