"Sen. Obama is proposing to reward a man who pledges to wipe Israel off the map with a presidential photo-op to which he will bring not even a twig. No wonder he’s so twitchy about it."
No wonder Obama and company are ninnies.

Just saw a segment on the TODAY show while surfing. NBC “reporter” interviewed a black writer for the WaPo editorial page...guess what...?
Obama gets as “A” for his response to this “attack” from the Bush White House. Implication is...this was a disgraceful use of the President’s offices in a political campaign...
No one else was interviewed...no other point of view allowed...the casual TV watcher would believe that Obama was unfairly attacked and stood his ground in a way that was outstanding...
this is what passed for tv “news” today.
As I wrote in another column, Obama is the biggest WHINER, I have ever seen on the national stage. There must be some cartoon character that the GOP could hang around his neck to get this point across. Who can come up with one?
Maybe we could have someone create a photo with a blue ribbon on Obama’s chest reading “The BIGGEST Whiner!”
Excellent, I love Steyn.
The result?:
"I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems, ....I will not weaponize space...
I will slow development of future combat systems...
I will institute a 'Defense Priorities Board' to ensure the quadrennial defense review is not used ...."
Money quote:
“Here are some words of Hussein Massawi, the former leader of Hezbollah: “We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you.”
...THE APPEASER SAID:
“[This] will not be a year of politics as usual. It can be a year of inspiration and hope, and it will be a year of concern, of quiet and sober reassessment of our nation’s character and purpose.
It has already been a year when voters have confounded the experts.
“There is a new mood in America. We have been shaken by a tragic war abroad and by scandals and broken promises a home. Our people are searching for new voices and new ideas and new leaders.
“We have been without leadership too long. We have had divided and deadlocked government too long.
“It is time for America to move and to speak not with boasting and belligerence but with a quiet strength, to depend in world affairs not merely on the size of an arsenal but on the nobility of ideas.
“It is time for us to take a new look at our own government, to strip away the secrecy, to expose the unwarranted pressure of lobbyists.
“It is time for a nationwide comprehensive health program for all our people.
“We can have an American government that does not oppress or spy on its own people but respects our dignity and our privacy and our right to be let alone.”
THE REST IS HISTORY
b. Hussein Obama sounds like he has got a guilty conscience. I think it is good to hear the Islamo Marxist whine.
Nails it. No pun intended.
“Sweetie” happened immediately prior to “Appeaser.”
In order to prevent “sweetie” from getting legs, the Obama camp wagged the dog by jumping on anything at all that Pres. Bush said...in this case “appeaser statements.”
They were also able to use it to connect Bush to McCain.
This reveals a strategy they intend to use. Anything Pres. Bush says will be linked to McCain to make them appear the same.
They will have full complicity of the media, to include Fox.
Actually, the piling on that took place by the Dems over the President's generalized observation clearly foreshadows the tone and timbre of the upcoming fight between Obama and McCain.
On a level playing field, McCain might have a chance. But whenever he opens his mouth, Obama and Co. will do what they did this past week.
They are starting even now. Listen for Obama saying words like, "My opponent is going to say" or "Mr. McCain will say".
I have heard him say these words when he was speaking about the furor over Reverend Wright. McCain never said a word. Yet the more impressionable voters who hear Obama say such things will have it stuck in their head that McCain is a racist. They will attempt to paint anyone who opposes or speaks out against Obama as a racist. Sit back and watch the show. It's going to get ugly. Even without Hillary in the race.
And, taking their cue from the soon-to-be nominee’s weirdly petty narcissism, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Joe Biden, and co. piled on..."
Soundslike a wholelotta Hit Dogs ahollering over that fence... Musta been quite a rock Bush tossed over there attem.
Once again, Mark Steyn is doing the work that American MSM journalists won't. I will alwasys deeply regret that I missed him speak last fall at Hillsdale. Next time, for sure!
Thanks for the post, goldstategop. Thanks for the ping, knews_hound.

Maybe this is why Obama was so sensitive about Bush’s remarks:
Obama Fires Foreign Policy Adviser for Meeting With Hamas
May 09, 2008 7:57 PM
The Times of London reports that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has fired one of his foreign policy advisers — Robert Malley — for meeting with the Palestinian group Hamas, which the U.S. State Department classifies as a terrorist organization.
“He was one of literally hundreds of informal, outside advisors,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton told ABC News, confirming the Times account.
Malley, a former official in the administration of former President Bill Clinton, is Middle East and North Africa program director for the International Crisis Group, a conflict resolution group.
“I’ve never hidden the fact that in my job with the International Crisis Group I meet all kinds of people,” Malley told the Times.
Malley has been a criticized in the past as insufficiently supportive of Israel — the New Republic’s Marty Peretz has defended Obama as pro-Israel but assailed Malley — though several Clintonistas have defended him from the charge.
He participated in the failed 2000 Camp David accords and said that Yasser Arafat was not the only one to blame for those talks breaking down.
**
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has been attacking Obama over the fact that a senior member of Hamas praised the Democrat.
In an interview on CNN, Obama called the attack, “Offensive, and I think it’s disappointing. Because John McCain always says ‘I am not going to run that kind of politics,’ and to engage in that kind of smear is unfortunate, particularly because my policy toward Hamas has been no different than his. I’ve said it’s a terrorist organization and we should not negotiate with them unless they recognize Israel, renounce violence, and unless they are willing to abide by previous accords between the Palestinians and the Israelis. So for him to toss out comments like that I think is an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination. We don’t need name calling in this debate.”
McCain top aide Mark Salter then took issue with Obama saying McCain was “losing his bearings.”
“First, let us be clear about the nature of Sen. Obama’s attack today: He used the words ‘losing his bearings’ intentionally, a not particularly clever way of raising John McCain’s age as an issue,” Salter write in a memo. “This is typical of the Obama style of campaigning.”
