I'm surprised, though, that his quote about foreign policy wasn't amplified (ahem) as well as redirected toward the GOP, since it's almost gospel for advocates of Token, Complicit “Opposition” to the Dems:

“We must lead by example and not by force … We’ve got to use our diplomacy more and more and more. We’ve got to avoid these perils before they come before us and then it takes too long. We can’t keep fighting wars.”

Though it's more accurate to apply that to lib Dem overreach and Dem “bi-partisanship” [sic], the superficial attraction is of course to apply it to the GOP instead.
