“I obviously am not happy about the events that happened last week in Paris…. BUT” is never a sentence that will end well.



Sen. Marco Rubio, currently third in the Republican presidential campaign polls, threw caution to the wind on Fox News Sunday, however, and tried the line out, just to see how it would end.

“I obviously am not happy about the events that happened last week in Paris, but I think it’s a positive development that it suddenly has forced Americans to confront more carefully the issue of national security, because it is the most important thing a president will do, and it’s the most important function of the federal government.”

It did not end well, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
