Bush’s administration, ripped into President Obama’s national security policies in his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, saying Americans can no longer accept a president who is “weak, indecisive and apologetic about our country.”

“Can you just imagine Reagan dealing with Vladimir Putin?” Bolton said. “Vladimir Putin has a strategy. Obama has nothing.”

Bolton tore into the president on everything from China to Latin America, but his most fiery words came as he attacked the president and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s response to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

“Under Barack Obama, you can murder his personal representative and get away scot free,” Bolton said. “We are happy to tell Hillary Clinton we know what difference it makes even if you don’t.”
