Obama to Howard: Chickenhawk!
Nuke's news & views ^ | 02/11/07 | Nuke Gingrich

Posted on 02/11/2007 11:08:13 AM PST by grandpa jones

Barack Hussein Obama fired back at Autralian PM John Howard today, invoking the familiar “nutroots” chickenhawk meme.

Responding to Howard’s criticism of Obama’s Iraq surrender-by-May plan, Obama lashed out at Howard by minimizing the Australian troop commitment of 1400, and said that if Howard believes so strongly in the American effort, he should commit an additional 20,000 Australian troops. (I have been reminded that “stategic redeploment” does not mean “surrender”, but failing to see the difference, I have decided to continue to use my original characterization.)

Perhaps Obama thinks Howard is an easy target. Given Obama’s lack of experience on the world stage, I don’t doubt this one bit. I’ve written previously about the absence of gravitas in the Obama campaign, and this comment is simply more evidence that he truly doesn’t get it, and is in no way ready for prime time. Hillary’s attack machine must be licking their chops. Obama is making it easy for them. But, I suspect we haven’t heard the last word yet from PM Howard.

Obama has figured out yet that it's not smart to name call PM Howard.

Dog gone it. Obama is already making us look like pariahs in the face of our allies. Now we really will not have a friend left...or do I mean friend right?

That's a great example of Obama's diplomatic skill. The man is as full of hate as the Islamists.

Let's adjust that statement to be more realistic...

"Responding to Howard’s criticism of Obama’s Iraq surrender-by-May plan, Obama wrinkled his nose and stuck out his tongue at the Prime Minister."

Chickenhawk is infinitely better than Chickensh!t.

Exactly. And Obama Hussein is definitely a chickensh!t. An "honest" chickensh!t maybe, but definitely a chickensh!t.

Considering how they are always bringing up Viet Nam, then 'NAMchurian' probably is closer than you think.

The chicken hawk is actually a feisty little raptor. Despite it's nickname, it mostly eats rodents -- Demon Rats perhaps.

"Obama, show me your birth certificate. "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.""

Do some research before posting, please.

Obamas mother was from Kansas, good old USA stock.

The only other derogatory way I have heard the term "chickenhawk" used is in reference to a pedophile.
