Pelosi: Bush Comments 'beneath The Dignity Of The Office' May 15, 2008(The Politico) Democratic House leaders are calling out President Bush for a speech in Israel in which he seemed to suggest that Sen. Barack Obama wants the United States to "negotiate with terrorists."
In his speech, Bush said: "Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along."
The White House insists that Bush was "referring to a wide range of people, not any single person." But Obama's campaign says it appeared to be a swipe at him, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that Bush's remarks were "beneath the dignity of the office of the president and unworthy of our representation" at the celebration of Israel's 60th anniversary.
Referring to Sen. John McCain, Pelosi said: "I would hope that any serious person that aspires to lead the country, would disassociate themselves from those comments."
As Pelosi was speaking, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel issued a statement in which he said: "The tradition has always been that when a U.S. president is overseas, partisan politics stops at the water's edge.

after all the rotten things they've said about Bush/Cheney they have the gall to say this..........
I wish that bit_h would disassociate herself from my country.
Pelosi’s been making idiotic, disgraceful comments since the hag took office as well.
Liberals don’t like the hard truth.
Was he including the state department in that comment?
Since when does Pelosi understand dignity?
Rebuttal: Two words: JIMMUH CARTUH
LOL! Man! The DimoPervs are such a bunch of squealing, crybaby, sissies!..And the voluminous response to Bush’s statements are blatent proof of the truth of his words!
Go’head DimoCowards!.. Appease the crocodiles!
What about when elected Democrats bash the president overseas? DOUBLE STANDARD!
Prediction: I think McCain will come out with some stupid comment on how we all need to get along (RATS and RINOs that is).
Isn’t it time for her to travel to Syria again?
Beat me by 2 mins!
> “The tradition has always been that when a U.S. president is overseas, partisan politics stops at the water’s edge. President Bush has now taken that principle and turned it on its head: for this White House, partisan politics now begins at the water’s edge, no matter the seriousness and gravity of the occasion. Does the president have no shame?”
Of course, when a washed-up thoroughly-corrupt Democrat ex-President is overseas, he can say whatever he likes, negotiate with terrorists, meet with the Enemy and participate in partisan politics, no problem./s
Right on.
Carter just came from his appeasement tour in the middle east. Why does everything have to be about Obama?
Put ‘em all on a leaky USN freighter, and call them what they truly are: The Party Without A Country.
Wow talk about hitting a nerve. These pansys are upset!
Watch out George they might tell mommy on you!
