Rep. Wilson: Criticizing Bush is Unpatriotic

Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM), challenged to provide evidence that Barack Obama is unpatriotic, offered that fact that “He’s been critical not only of the President but of American policy and hence has kind of a negative view of America in the world.”

As Amanda Terkel observes, “The Bush administration has been setting American policy for the past eight years. Therefore, any criticism of the Bush administration, according to Wilson, is unpatriotic.” On the other hand, if Wilson wants to define the GOP as the party of slavish adherence to Bush’s policies, well, that’s exactly how the Democrats have been trying to define it.
