Respected Democrat Encourages 'Naive' Obama to Emulate Bush; Honored Vet Says 'Stan Not 'Nam

In Obama’s case, the medium is the message.

[supremedoctrine]

This, sadly, seems about as much as can be hoped for right now from Establishment Democratic Politicians.

[Chgogal]

Yo, Bobby, the whole point of the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize was that Obama is the Anti-Bush, you silly man.

[McGruff]

Obama: This is not the Bob Kerrey I used to know.

The former senator actually makes alot of sense here. I'm shocked.

[mountainlion]

John Kerry medal of honor, now that is the most that I have been insulted. John Kerry says that he served in Viet Nam but there is no proof. John Kerry accused all Viet Nam Veterans of killing babes and war crimes was bad but to say that he got a medal of honor is an insult!

[avacado]

One “tiny” problem for Obama — or rather for the USA. He’s an Ayers Radical and as such views the US military as the cause of world-wide bloody US imperialism. He’s going to cut-n-run.

[riri]

He can’t the Nobel people put him in a box. LOL. Foolish communists in Norway have sealed his demise.

[grobdriver]

John Kerry, eh?

I heard he served in Viet Nam...

[real saxophonist]

Bob Kerrey, not John Kerry.

[Joann37]

Bob Kerrey? Never woulda thought!

[jazusamo]

Bob Kerrey’s criticism of Obama will surely be reported extensively by the enemedia. NOT!

Re: “Bob Kerrey? Never woulda thought!”

Surprising, isn’t it? Kerrey’s old pal, actress Debra Winger, will probably have to call him out on this! Hollywood’s never going to complain about Zero’s ‘apologizing’ to everyone in the world. They love that.

[ReneeLynn]

Silk purse, sow’s ear.

[RichInOC]

No, this is Bob Kerrey, Nebraska grad, went into the Navy SEALs, was awarded the Medal and held onto it, and dated Debra Winger in her prime, not John Kerry, Yale grad, went into Navy river patrol, and got stuck with Teresa Heinz.

'Naive' Obama

It's because he's a light-brownish color, isn't it. That's racist.

[tcrlaf]

Another Clintonista attack on the MESSIAH....
The long knives are being drawn, in the face of Obama’s weakness and incompetence.

These Super-delegates have got to kiccking themselves in the ass for falling for the media hype...

[Poe White Trash]

>>> This war is not Vietnam. The Taliban are not popular and have very little support other than what they secure through terror. <<<

Am I to suppose that the Vietcong WERE popular and had lots of support in South Vietnam and Cambodia, aside from what they secured through terror?

This doesn’t accord with the history I’ve read, especially for the period of time after Tet.

In December 2006, President George W. Bush was faced with a similarly difficult foreign policy decision. The Republicans had suffered tremendous losses in the November election, in part because of the conduct of the war in Iraq. At the time, the unpopular Republican president was being pressured by ascendant congressional Democrats and some members of his own party into withdrawing from Iraq. Failure in Iraq loomed, as public opinion for the effort to help the democratically elected government survive had faded thanks to a series of tactical blunders and inaccurate assessments of what would be needed to accomplish the mission.

Then, against all reasonable predictions, President Bush chose to increase rather than decrease our military commitment. The "surge," as it became known, worked. Victory was snatched from the jaws of defeat.

Actually, the surge was decided on and planned for before the November election. One of the principle reasons for the "tremendous losses" was that almost no Republicans in Congress defended the need for the war in Iraq, nor stood with the President in calling for a victory there. Our troops were abandoned by almost everyone except President Bush.

But other than that error, GOOD for Kerrey for telling the truth about Obama and his naive apologetic, (anti-American) pseudo-foreign policy.

[jazusamo]

That’s a real possibility and with his incompetence coming to light more and more it wouldn’t be surprising to see Hillary challenge him again.
