I agree. I think most people where stunned when “the empty suit” decided to take offense at such utterly inoffensive remarks.

Obama-lama-ding-dong has met the enemy, and he is it.

If Obama and the rest of the ‘Rats on board the S.S. Appeasement are so upset about a speech Bush made to the Knesset in which the only person of historical reference mentioned was Hitler, what does this say about them?

They all wish they were that lone unidentified senator who in 1939, wished he had been able to “talk to Hitler”.

John McCain (who I still thoroughly despise), damn near has this election in the bag, unless he manages to lose it (which is not at all an impossibility).

I agree, yes to all of the questions, but particularly this one:

Is he trying, for the millionth time, to rule any criticism of himself out of reasonable bounds by complaining about something that isn’t even criticism of him?

Barry has been extremely adept at avoiding questions or making it sound as they were attacks on him (which, of course, are all because he's ... shhhh ... black). I seriously think his strategy is to build a bubble around himself so that people will be afraid to question him and he will not be forced to reveal (a) his ignorance of most major issues, and (b) his actual horrible positions on most major issues.

I was watching coverage of this on Fox News last night. During the couple of hours I was watching, there was not a single comment about the core of what Bush’ comment was or whether or not it was correct. The entire discussion was over whether or not the comment was addressed to Obama.

I see things like that, and I think we won’t get shaken out of our complacency until we get a good dose of reality. Periods of adversity bring out the best in people, and periods of prosperity bring out the slackers and the nutjobs.

I am thinking we are basically screwed for at least the next 8 years or so. Things are going to get very bad before they get better. At best, we are going to have socialists running COngress and the Presidency. At worst, the constant deficit spending and irresponsible fiscal policy (and this comes from Republicans as much as it comes from Democrats) catch up with us and we have another Great Depression.

I have confidence that our country will come through this, but things are likely to be harder for my kids than they were for my generation.

Seen this? These people are stark, starin' bonkers...
( I truly fear, for my country. Americans used to have better sense than to fall for this kind of quasi-religious idiocy in a politician. )

Barack Obama, fairy tale king!

How do you know the left has gone too far with with their idolatry of the Obamamessiah?

When this picture accompanies an endorsement of him for President.

Rising from the sea like a mythical merman, with his loyal white steed behind him, the Left presents Barack Obama, fairy tale king!!

Christ Almighty. Do lefties really not see how ridiculous they have become with the Obama-mania? Seriously.

If you peek in a DU, you’ll see that this is exactly what has turned off so many Hillary voters to Obama and his supporters. They take offense at the comments that were not even intended as criticism. It’s going to be a long, whiny campaign if they keep it up.

Obama knows this is a real problem for him, hence the reaction. Though it wasn't directed specifically at him, he knows the shoe fits.

Obama and his followers continue to alienate a huge sector of our population. The presidency is McCain’s to lose. I’m just afraid he might be capable of doing so.

There are few things worse than McCain in the White House. Two of them are Hillary and Obama.

tough talk and no action

The war in Iraq doesn't count as action in the world of Obama, I guess.

Obama is as thin-skinned as a Muslim. But of course he isn't one.

There have been many statements and actions from Pres. Bush that I have not supported, but I must give the man credit when it is due - he nailed it this time. The 'appeasement crowd' operate under the self-delusion that terrorists and others with an unquenchable thirst for power over others are just misguided but basically good human beings who can be convinced by reason to live at peace with their enemies.

This is an erroneous picture of the terrorist. Terrorists represent the ultimate depths of human depravity and will not stop until they have either subjugated their targets or have been destroyed themselves. This was true of Hitler and the Nazis and is true of the Islamo-facists today. Ignore the truth at the peril of your life and those of your neighbors.

Obama has peaked too soon. WAY too soon.

His "popularity" will continue to rise, for a while. Like Dukakis, like Carter in 1980, he'll be 20 points ahead on Labor Day

But the election isn't ON Labor Day.

People will start to pay attention to the Obama downside, but not until late September/early October.

And then, the air will go out of his balloon, and the media will blame racism.

By November 2, people will forget they ever HEARD of him.

I have a couple of thoughts -

1) Obama seems to think that everything is about him

2) To Obama: If the shoe fits, wear it - neener, neener

There is one additional piece of important information: when the MSM started reporting on Bush’s comments they were citing unnamed Administration sources as saying that the comments were directed straight at Obama.

It was those reports that triggered Obama’s response ... with Dana Perino coming back with her great “just because you’re running for President doesn’t mean that you are the center of the universe” comment.

I smell a psyop setup by the WH ... they baited Obama and the Dems into an emotional response and then fell back on the plausible deniability of what the President actually said. If the Dems are going to be this thin-skinned, overreactive and quick to play the victim care, it bodes well for the General election.

Tucker Carlson’s ‘analysis’ on msnbc was that Bush was comparing his political foes to Hitler! It made no sense, I don’t know if TC was drunk or what. The comparison was to Chamberlain of course. And in Israel , where they tried to exchange land for peace, the message is always timely.

MSNBC: they’re all stunned at how “idiotic” Bush is for speaking the truth. All they care about is whether he “meant obama”. And they go “of course he meant obama!”.

No, he meant the entire DNC and the Left.

People should tune in to Morning Joe, or msnbc anytime today... it’s actually funny how upset these dweebs are. Especially Schuster, of course.

Somebody should tell Mr. Obama that there's a saying in the South that covers his remarks regarding Bush's remarks. It's called "Hit dog hollers". When you respond to something somebody else says, even though they didn't specifically mention you, your guilt is acknowledged.

Mr. Obama, "Plugs" Biden, et al, thanks for spouting off to Bush's remarks in Israel yesterday. By doing so you removed all doubt that you and your complicit DemocRats pals are all for coddling vicious dictators. We all knew it was true. Now, there is clear evidence of your intentions........
