The blowup over President Bush's remarks to Israel's parliament equating talks with rogue regimes to appeasement will be front and center another day.
Barack Obama, who saw himself as the target of Bush's criticism, is expected to directly rebut the president later today at a campaign event in South Dakota.
His top foreign policy adviser, Susan Rice, said this morning on MSNBC that Obama will deliver a "very vigorous response to what was an outrageous, unprecedented, and divisive attack from President Bush yesterday which was patently dishonest."
She argued that Republican presidents, including Ronald Reagan, have talked to renegade countries. And she said Obama has made "absolutely clear" he will not deal with terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
While the White House officially denied the remarks were aimed at Obama, presumptive Republican nominee John McCain used the opportunity to argue again that Obama's willingness to negotiate shows he is naive and inexperienced in the ways of foreign policy.

None of his flags are waving. He must be on the moon.
Well, I haven’t watched much news and cancelled the Austin fish wrap. I get all my news here. I can get more news on this web site than all the papers and BS TV networks combined.
On Fox news now. Obama looks intoxicated.
Orator?
I think he use some visual aids. Maybe?
This is called “cuddle-mongering” as opposed to
Bush’s so called fear-mongering rhetoric per Obama.
Obama: “I would engage in Direct talks with IRAN”
Obama: “I see future late morning spooning session with Iranian President Imanutjob”

I still need my daily dose of comedy.
I pray for my nation everyday. But here’s the deal. President Bush was in a different country and basically put down another American. No,I listened very carefully to his speech. This is what happened. I have silently read this board for three years and have watched the conversation turn away from American ideals and conservatism and now completely excuse this type of behavior. Then President Bush immediately left Israel to go meet with Saudi rulers and basically beg for something that he was turned down for. I don’t consider that leadership. Then, to boot, to my embarrassment, Senator McCain just aligned himself with what I feel is an anti-American action. You may all disagree with me, but this is how I feel. Having Governor Huckabee make that terrible joke on top of all this makes me embarrassed to be part of the same party. Where are the leaders of this party who can stand up and bring back the Reagan conservatism and leadership? We used to be the party of manners, conservative and compassionate Christianity and fiscal leadership. Sometimes I feel lost.
