Not acceptable to critize our president during a crises.

now it is not acceptable to criticize our president during a international crises.

Harsh criticism of the president, whether it comes from Republicans or Democrats, only serves to comfort enemies of the United States, talk show host Joe Scarborough said Wednesday.

"I'm old-fashioned enough to believe that harshly criticizing the commander in chief during dangerous international crises, whether it's with the likes of [former Iraq President] Saddam Hussein or [Russian President] Vladimir Putin, that provides comfort to nation states who choose to be our enemies," Scarborough, a former Republican Florida Congressman, told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"Trying to speak with one voice, one American voice, has become a quaint thing of the past. I regret that enormously," Gates told The Washington Post on Tuesday.

Scarborough argued that there was "nothing more frightening to our enemies, to America's enemies, than a strong unified American voice." He said it was incumbent upon the president's "political rivals" to "encourage him privately."

Lawmakers should speak carefully in public, Scarborough cautioned, because their comments echo around the world.


had the liberals listened to his advice back when Bush was president.. Iraq and Afghanistan things may have been different over there today..

but back then he wasn't giving out that advice..

Looks like those that criticize the President have a crush on Putin...

The Increasingly Awkward Conservative Crush on Putin

The reason for all this ancient history is the situation today in Ukraine, where an autocratic Russian leader who exudes manly vibes has ordered his armed forces into Crimea. It is unclear whether this move on Russia's part will prove successful, but, amidst uncertaintly among western leaders over what to do, there has arisen a new strain of the Burnham syndrome. Conservatives don't just see the west and President Obama as weak; they also seem envious of Putin's bullying. "There is something odd," Benjamin Wallace-Wells wrote in New York magazine, "about commentators who denounce Putin in the strongest terms and yet pine for a more Putin-like figure in the White House."
