How has John Bolton performed compared to your expectations?
Nobody here thought he was going to do a good job. Now that Bush wants to reappoint him, how would you rate his performance over the last year? About what you were expecting? Not as bad? Much worse?

1. I have not heard of him accomplishing anything.
But I have heard of him trying bully ambasadors from other countries. So I'd have to give him a failing grade.

2. So far, he's not as disasterous as I thought he would be.
HOWEVER, what all has he done that I haven't heard about???????

3. He has not managed to start WWIII yet,
He is trying real hard though.

A+ according to the Bush/Cheney/Rice/Neocon bell curve grading system

4. He's been just as abrasive, autocratic and ineffectual
as I knew he would be. There have been no surprises.

At first I thought you were joking with your original question.

6. Needs research. The news is not reporting on him
"No news" is not necessarily good news if the "no news" is not reported by the MSM

7. Exactly as expected.
He's a self-centered, bullying twit who managed to reach adulthood without someone breaking his back-more pity that.

He has not learned that people have to learn to, at a minimum, tolerate each other and will probably never grasp that simple lesson.

8. Like all chimp appointees, he was the worst possible choice...
He's lived up to those expectations.

The guy is a nut case.

10. (cough) You make that sound like a Bad Thing™
