George H.W. Bush: “I'll take this case to the American people.”

I think you are engaging in the soft bigotry of low expectations.

American officials must heed the lessons of the short-lived coup in 2002, when Bush Administration support for Chavez's ouster undermined America's standing in the region and damaged our credibility as a defender of democracy.

Strength is not empty rhetoric. It's not bluster. And in my experience, the strongest person usually isn't the loudest one in the room.

Hillary Clinton will get his vote in November.
