President Obama had a quick, blunt response Thursday to Republican charges that he's engaged in a foreign policy of "appeasement."

"Ask Osama bin Laden," he told reporters at the White House on Thursday.

Appeasement was the word of the day Wednesday as six Republican presidential candidates spoke at a forum hosted by the Republican Jewish Coalition in Washington.

It was most often used with regard to Iran, although some said it applied to Obama's broader foreign policy.

"The president, for every thug and hooligan, for every radical Islamist, has had nothing but appeasement," former Sen. Rick Santorum said.

Obama goes to Egypt to apology for America and praise Islamic culture. Two year later the pro-American Murbarack is overthrown and replaced by Islamisist radicals who share similar ideology with Al Qadea.

He bows to Saudi Royalty unlike any US president in history.

Tunisia, Libya and Egypt went radical on his watch.

Will the movie show our knowledge of Osama’s whereabouts for months? Will it show when it finally started to break how Obama spent the night sleeping on it, and then played a round of golf before making up his mind? All the while, Seal Team Six and their gunship crews sat on the runway waiting for a “go”? Perhaps that is why an exhausted pilot crashed at the compound?

I thought it was Seal Team Six that offed Osama, not Obama. MSNBC has been playing this up all day. Funny that the most treasonous, anti-military network would be claiming Obama is some kind of war hero.

Horse Hockey! It took him 16 hours to figure out if he wanted our guys to go get bin Laden after he was told things were ready to go. He's trying to sound tough; I wonder what his weenie lib friends think of him for that.

Obama killed Osama like some people engender their children: at a distance and through someone else's technical jiggery-pokery.
