In a recent interview with The Atlantic, Hillary Clinton, a potential candidate for the Democratic presidential nod in 2016, made a swipe at President Obama’s foreign policy decisions, implying that the president has acted stupidly in some of his foreign policy decisions.
“Great nations need organizing principles, and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle,” Clinton is quoted as saying.
One member, or former member of the Obama administration has taken offense to Clinton’s summarization of President Obama, and he strongly voiced his opposition on twitter.
In response to Clinton’s knock against the President, David Axelrod tweeted, Just to clarify: “Don’t do stupid stuff” means stuff like occupying Iraq in the first place, which was a tragically bad decision.
I must say, I totally agree with Mr. Axelrod.
