In an odd interview with F'cks News Bret Baier, Mark Rubio inadvertently admitted he may never be qualified to be President. Not only that, but in answering Baier's question: "what would you do if you were President?" - Marko Rubio also highlighted that he has no idea what he is talking about, and no idea what he has already said regarding Syria.
1) Rubio uses the words "someone else, hopefully" to acknowledge he may not ever be qualified to be president.
Rubio said. "We have to understand, if I had been in charge — or someone else, hopefully — " we'd have never gotten to this stage. So if we inherited this mess, which we have now, I think our obligation is to try to figure out what is the least worst option available to us because they're all bad. And part of that equation, I can't tell you right now until we go through that intelligence briefing tomorrow because one of the key questions we have to ask ourselves is, 'Who are these so-called moderates on the ground in Syria and are they even capable of taking control of the country and giving us a rational, secular, stable government?' That's a key question."
2) Notice: Rubio says he has no idea who, or what, the rebels in Syria are:
RUBIO: "the key questions we have to ask ourselves is, 'Who are these so-called moderates on the ground in Syria and are they even capable of taking control of the country and giving us a rational, secular, stable government?' That's a key question."
However, it is that part of his comment where he acknowledges that he has no idea what he has previously said, and written about the rebels.
3) So, if Rubio has no idea "who" or "what" the rebels in Syria are then "who" wrote this for speech for Rubio?
May 31, 2012
RUBIO: "The greatest thing that we can do now is help the rebels and the Free Syria Army and the political branch of the resistance to organize themselves,"
4) Since Rubio has no idea who the rebels are, then
who wrote this script for Rubio?
February 27, 2013
RUBIO: "What the opposition really needs is access to ammunition. And I think one of the things we can consider, if we can identify a couple of responsible groups — or more responsible groups that we feel have built capacity — ammunition is something we can provide. … And I think that’s a step I’m prepared to advocate for.”
Come on Rubio, tell us, who writes your shit -- cuz it sure as hell isn't you.
More 'stuff' Rubio said and wrote in support of the rebels of whom he now admits he knows nothing about.
6) Since Rubio has no idea who the rebels are, then who wrote this Legislation for Rubio?
March 2012
Rubio introduces "The Syria Democracy Transition Act of 2012" and issues a press release:
RUBIO "We need to reassert our leadership role in the region. Once the Administration [President Obama] certifies a legitimate transitional authority, our assistance will prove vital to preparing the Syrian people for the difficult yet ultimately rewarding path to true representational democracy.”
~March 2012 Marco Rubio Press Release

Who wrote this for Rubio?
April 26, 2012
RUBIO: "Assad has committed atrocities against the Syrian people, and it's essential that the United States keep applying pressure on the regime and plan for a post-Assad Syria. Assad's departure from power needs to be accelerated, while we lay the foundation for Syria to begin its difficult path towards a true inclusive democracy,"
8) Clearly Rubio forgot that "someone" signed his name onto a
Resolution commending President Obama's actions in Syria
Whereas President Obama, on August 17, 2011, issued Executive Order 13582, blocking property of the Government of Syria and prohibiting certain transactions with respect
to Syria;
(7) commends President Obama for authorizing targeted sanctions on human rights abusers in Syria and for extending these sanctions to 12 individuals;
I'm sure I'm not the only American who is sick of electing politicians only to find out that some unknown staffer/lobbyist is writing the laws, speeches and sound-bites while the elected politician walks around seemingly brain-dead as to what is going on in the world around them.
