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.

Arec to Pelosi: Perhaps you wouldn’t feel so indignant if
you hadn’t gone to meet with Syrian leaders (against the advice of the State Department) while they were building a nuclear plant with North Korean help in order to kill Jews.
Oh, by the way, I don’t recall you getting too upset when Carter went to visit Hamas and Hezbollah to offer them advice on how to take over Lebanon and destroy Israel.
“I dont see Republicans lined up at microphones defending Bush, either.”
Ah..but a conservative with a golden Microphone IS....
heh heh
The dentist is obviously swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool.
Some of those Republicans look like they could be beaten up by a girl's softball team. Lindsay Graham's wrists appear so weak that I doubt he can tie his own shoelaces.
Islam will do that to ya.

I think she got that 2.25 gouging squared away. No I mean literally squared.
True leader of Syria:
OBAMA: Look, there’s a broader issue at stake here, and that is how do we approach Iran? I have said, unlike Senator Clinton, that I would meet directly with the leadership in Iran. I believe that we have not exhausted the diplomatic efforts that could be required to resolve some of these problems—them developing nuclear weapons, them supporting terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas. That does not mean that we take other options off the table, but it means that we move forward aggressively with a dialogue with them about not only the sticks that we’re willing to apply, but also the carrots. Are there inducements that we can put on the table—joining the World Trade Organization, over time normalizing diplomatic relations—giving them some sense that if they make the right decisions, if they change their behavior, then we will be willing to work with them as we would any other nation in a way that is mutually beneficial. That has not been tried. Not only has it not been tried, but reports indicate that it has been explicitly rejected by the Bush administration. That is a policy that I intend to change as president of the United States.” [Meet the Press, 11/11/07]

$58 per barrel of oil when the Democrats "took over". $120+ per barrel now, less than 18 months later. Doesn't sound like a buggering "right direction" to me, Pelosi. What a right foul git she is.
‘beneath The Dignity Of The Office’
Would that be the same office Billy Boy held SO MUCH respect for... I mean the one he was in when he fooled around with Monica???
President Bush said this in his speech: “We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: “Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.”
It was a Republican who said that—why would President Bush use that example? It just seems like it gives Democrats something else to jump on, that he’s quoting someone from his own party to illustrate a negative point about the opposition.
...”JIMMUH CARTUH”
That’s right, Jimmuh would be in the Presidents thoughts as he recently returned from his unauthorized sortie doing precisely as the President indicated.
The fact the Leftist scum are now ballistic after the President mentioned that truth supports the trendy thought of Obambler as Jimmuh Cahtah’s protege. The President’s message struck too close to home.
Obama=The Cahtah Administration take #2.
And where was the outrage when dem congressmen where making comparisons to Hitler? Or the same destructive kinds of comments while overseas?
I bet Nancy has spent a considerable part of her life on her knees so she knows what beneath the dignity means.
Iron Head Pelosi and the Traitors whine at Bush Truth - how rich.
What the heck does Pelosi (or any of her RAT cohorts) know about “dignity of the office”? The Democrats have done more to destroy the office of both President, Representatives, and Senate in the last half-century than anyone in the history of the US.
