Barack said he would “talk with our enemies”.
...especially when the President was referring to Jimmy Carter, not Obama.
Simple statement of fact.
“Bush’s Comments In Israel Fuel Anger”
The ascendency and totally undeserved proximity to the Commander in Chief position of an unaccomplished, affirmative action, Marxist like ORacist fuels my anger...
Yeah, so what if it was? Presidential campaigns aren't for the thin-skinned -- the 'Rats are acting like they've never been there before. Never have I seen a candidate handled with such kid gloves before.
The GOP needs to be pounding on the Democrat’s reaction because it’s become so obvious they want to do exactly what President Bush said shouldn’t be done.
This story is evidence of Obama’s narcissism.
(paraphrasing) "If you throw a shoe over the fence, the dog that yelps is the dog you hit."
I can't get this out of my mind! Way too funny!
No, you criticize America when you are on foreign soil. ....at every opportunity.
Come on, Mac. Show a little spine and call a spade a spade.
PMSNBC’s bias towards the dems/Obama and against the Repubs/McCain has reached a new low. This morning Mika and David Shuster were comforting each other by claiming that Bush’s attack on Obama is a winner for the dem and a sure fire loser for Mac. Shuster called Bush’s comments “patently dishonest,” he also tried to compare Obama’s position on his willingness and desire to speak with radical terror supporting regimes to Nixon’s visit to China. I know PMSNBC is in the tank for the dems, but now they don’t even try to hide it.
Yesterday, wittle Cwissy Maffews was ranting about how: “Chamberlain signed away half of Czechoslovakia to Hitler; THAT was appeasement. THAT’S DIFFERENT from just talking to the bad guys. When we TALK, we’re not giving away anything. So it’s not appeasement. So THERE (sticks out tongue).”
Now, Cwissy, when you talk with terrorists and rogues, you are treating them as equals. That is giving them something, the very thing that they want. Prestige, recognition, encouragement, aid and comfort, credibility in the eyes of others whom they’d love to recruit to stand alongside themselves. Something that has been withheld from them all along, but now, because you are talking with them, they receive in abundance. Oh yes, Cwissy, you are giving away something, alright. Why do you think we don’t give them that recognition, up front?
Now, on the other hand, obviously, SECRET talks are swirling about all the time. You just can’t give these types the vainglory of having any talks at or above the official diplomatic level. Good grief.
Agreed,big time.
It’s fine and freakin’ dandy when the Rats besmirch and berate Bush (comparing him to Hitler,for instance)on a regular basis,and all is quiet on the media front-of course. But let Bush state the painfully obvious and it’s Armageddon. All this little exercise has done is to open up the ugly stinking can of worms that is the liberal ideology-capitulate,appease,yada,yada.It’s brought to light what conservatives have known forever.
Can it be used to fuel cars?
Bush’s statement about appeasement is an “inconvenient truth”. Every time you point out an aspect of reality that the Democrats don’t like or don’t want to deal with, they call it “dirty”. These people are like children in the schoolyard, and they shouldn’t be governing this country.
Pres Polar Bear Bush is back in the good graces of FReepers for a nanosecond.
I see some political strategy here. The Obama camp fell right into the trap.
McCain needs the story to be the WOT, it is all has has to differentiate himself from the Democrats.
If he can get the story off the economy, and issues at home, he can refocus all the attention on what is Obamas weakest issue.
Obama camp sure is dumb. They themselves have now made it the issue.
To paraphrase Duke Leto Atreides, Bush has displayed an off-the-rack suit, and some are claiming it was custom tailored for them.
When you through a rock into a pack of dogs, the one you hit makes the most noise.
From the DemocRAT rabid responses it seems that President Bush threw a handful of rocks.
