The Anti-Obama for President

AmSpec reports that Ambassador John Bolton is seriously considering a presidential run in 2012.

The only thing that would drive the moonbats crazier would be a Bolton-Cheney ticket.

I believe that a Bolton run is an extremely positive development. Constitutional conservatism is the antidote to tyranny*, which is the path that Democrats have forged for America. They are designing more unsustainable entitlement programs, bankrupting every level of government including the U.S. Treasury, employing corrupt politicians and bureaucrats, waging a war against free enterprise, and rewarding unions, trial lawyers and illegal immigrants.

Bolton has had a lot of fans among conservatives ever since his bitter confirmation battle during the Bush administration. Though he's unlikely to have a broad enough appeal to capture the nomination, he could still have an impact on the race. He's consistently been one of the most articulate voices for a muscular U.S. foreign policy, and a leading critic of the current administration when it comes to international affairs, dubbing Obama our first "post-American president."

In short, Bolton represents the anti-Obama. As an AmSpec commenter observed:

...its time we went as far right as we did to the left when we elected [Obama]. This country needs the strongest leader we can find to take us back to being a world leader...

Now that I think about it, perhaps a Bolton-Palin ticket would be the best way to drive the leftwing crackpots wild.
