WASHINGTON - Barack Obama fired back at President Bush yesterday, accusing him of an "appalling attack" for suggesting that the Democratic presidential hopeful wanted to appease America's enemies.
"Now, that's exactly the kind of appalling attack that's divided our country and that alienates us from the world," Obama said.
"And that's why we need change in Washington. That's part of the reason why I'm running for president of the United States of America."
Speaking before the Israeli Knesset earlier this week, Bush laced into those who believe that the United States should negotiate with leaders of terrorist states.
Last summer, Obama said emphatically during one of the Democratic debates he would gladly meet with the leaders of Iran and Syria and other sworn enemies of America "without preconditions...

Obama protests McCain posters, bumper stickers
"'Vote for McCain' is exactly the kind of appalling message that's divided our country."
That Karl Rove is a genius.
And Mccain, no matter what he thinks of President Bush, should publicly and loudly remind the Democrats that criticising a sitting President during wartime hasn’t been off-limits for almost eight years now, and make them either answer the charge, or have to publicly acknowledge their hypocrisy by their silence.
“Now, that’s exactly the kind of appalling attack that’s divided our country and that alienates us from the world,” Obama said.
What’s divided our country are the anti-American liberal democrats, pure and simple. Conservatives are pro-American, remember, Obama. And what helps to alienate us from the world is dissing your own country the shameful way Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, and the rest of the American-haters have done.
Negotiations, by definition, are a process of give and take. What is Obama willing to give up in his negotiations with Ahmadinejad? Half of Iraq, Lebanon, our support of Israel in exchange for a "head fake" on Ahmadinejad"s bomb program.
Discussion of anything that might cause Obama to not become President is not allowed.
GRRRRRREAT FReeper comments BUMP!
Fired back? That assumes Bush had fired at him first. No bias here.

“A hit, a very palpable hit”

Obama's hollering!
I came across this video in tribute to those who lost their lives on 9/11. It made me cry. It is the most moving tribute that I have ever seen, and I think it should be required viewing for every Ameican yearly. How quickly most of us have forgotten, and have become apathetic. again.

Please be sure and read the author’s own experiences on that horrible day.
Ol’ Glass Jaw takes another fall. This whiney cry-baby is running for President? LOL!
Churchill said: “An appeaser is one who feeds the crocodile hoping it will eat him last.”
What I don't get is Obama blasts Bush for condemning appeasement (even though he did it by accusing Bush of accusing him), but then Obama turns around and claims he also is against appeasement and in the same breath pushes appeasement. See why I'm confused?
Their arguments, beliefs, positions, ideology--everything they stand for--do not make any sense. They appeal to emotion.
This is what the decadence that is the Left is and why it is so dangerous!
Pelosi, Reid, et al. condemned Bush for attacking "an American citizen" abroad--citing the long established convention that an American President not be criticized abroad--nevermind that Jimmy Carter travels the globe criticizing a President in office--nevermind that Nancy Pelosi went to Syria--nevermind a host of violations of this convention.
It does not make any sense. These people don't have to make sense. They have built highly lucrative careers by not making sense.
The entire Left does not make any sense! It is absurdity.
Don't try to make sense of these people and what they say. Just do your best to defeat them.
He already talks and is rumoured has worked for a terrorist, Ayers, so talking to states that sponsor terrorism is a step down.
