Andrew Sullivan: After Gaddafi, If Obama Were Republican He’d Be On Mt. Rushmore
Conservative (and gay) columnist Andrew Sullivan today commented on the death of Muammar Gaddafi — the third major enemy of the United States and democracy that has been killed under Obama’s watch — and said if President Obama were a Republican by now he’d be on Mount Rushmore.
“To rid the world of Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki and Moammar Qaddafi within six months: if Obama were a Republican, he’d be on Mount Rushmore by now,” Sullivan said, in response to a reader who wrote,
Bush and Saddam – One Trillion dollars and thousands of US lives.
Obama and Qaddafi – One Billion dollars and zero US lives.
