John Bolton believes that selecting Paul Ryan as VP nominee, especially because he’s a budget guru, is an excellent choice by Romney.

Bolton also weighs in on Egypt’s President Morsi ‘retiring’ the Defense Minister and Chief of Staff as well as rescinding the military decree that restricted his own powers as president, Bolton says this is very concerning and that it may only be the first round in a power struggle between the Muslim Brotherhood and the military.
