Yeah, all they had to do was agree with him and they would have defused it. But it hurt too much to not say what they really believe. To whit, they ARE appeasers.
Good Lord it was fun, watching the Democrats and Liberal Media circle the wagons today. If I were Obama, I would have kept my mouth shut and not wanted to be associated with this one. Instead, here come the Democrats in full defense mode with the media not far behind. Hahahahahaha, it was hilarious.
They go out there and castigate the President, after Jimmy Carter goes and meets with Hamas in Syria, how dumb do they think people are, then again, is there anyone really paying attention?
Mr. Obama, if what President Bush said isn't an accurate representation of what you believe, then why did you think that it was meant to be a representation of what you believe?
You were called to the carpet and exposed the moment you willingly put your name to a generalized comment. Your denial is all the proof we needed.
Once again, Bush demonstrates why he has time and time again smoked the supposed "intelligencia" in the political arena.
Geez, Bush didn't even have to put bait in the hole or cover it up with leaves for Obama to fall right in. And this guy wants to be president?

It was outstanding. When i have a few minutes I'll go listen to his delivery. If the American media were even a jot fair, this speech would have gotten better press. That the Obamamedia took offense at such a vague reference, if even that, says to me that someone is smarting a bit from their own feelings of political impotency. Is it just me or does it seem that the American media is hysterical with obamania?
how Obama and the rest of his liberal flunkies IMMEDIATELY took offense at President Bush's comments concerning appeasement?If his comments were so off base and inaccurate, why did Obama so quickly assume that Bush was talking about him?? Because deep down Obama knows that Bush is right, and he called Obama on his own statements concerning talking to Iran (as well as others).
Me thinks he (Obama) protests too much!!!
BTW...Bush's speech was great!!!
"...peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it, we will never surrender for it, now or ever." President Ronald Reagan, January 20, 1981
Fred Thompson hit the nail on the head this morning on "F&F". Ask yourself, who does the shoe fit?
Jimmy Carter is the first person to come to mind, followed closely by Nancy "Stretch" Pelosi. So far, Obama's stand is mere rhetoric. Carter and Pelosi have already qualified for the label "appeaser". It's the Dims themselves, along with the MsM, who made it all about Obama. Funny. In a way, he ends up being the scapegoat, doesn't he. And funnier still if you understand the origins of the term "scapegoat" from the Old Testament.

Good question, charlie. Can anyone explain why the Jews in Israel respect Pres. Bush and his policies and the Jews in America seem to think differently? Is it merely a matter of perception?

Wow! I kinda forgot about W. I guess he needs to take trips like this at taxpayers' expense and say stupid things to remind us he's in office for another few months.
As a liberal member of the DemocratIC party I'm completely psyched for November. Either I'm going to enjoy a McCain win which will at least shutdown Gt'mo, act on global climate change, and enact fair immigration rules, OR... I can savor a DemocratIC win and see these and many more important changes for America implemented even sooner.
God Bless America - everyone, including even those with whom I disagree. We should all be proud to be standing on the edge of a new day for our country!
Thanks for making my statement yet again, albeit from a somewhat different position.

Yeah, just like Bill Clinton who, other than invite that degenerate pervert Yasar Arafat to the White House, didn't do jack with the situation in the Mideast until when....yeah, his last 90days in office.
Big trip to the Mideast. Somehow he came with away with Arab money. Go figure.

Obama, and the dem party once again show why they are what folks used to call "titty babies".
These are supposed to be professional men and women who are there to do the people's work, and yet, if they feel the SLIGHTEST bit of insult the make a federal case out of it!
Gates and Rice have both said that dialogue with Iran is a good idea and something we should be doing more of.
I understand the political pat on the back Bush was trying to give to Israel in regard to fighting--not talking to-- intolerent regional enemies but it really didnt make any sense in a practical sense for the US. Plus his own hired help in his cabinent (and former cabinent in Colin Powell) all disagree with him. Bush deserves the criticism. Hes a nice guy but you have to agree to some extent he has been way over his head since 2001.
They have said it, but the difference is that those talks occur in the background at much lower levels, not granting some terrorist thug a sit down with the President of the United States of America. There is a huge difference, one that the msm and Barrak don't seem to understand or want to recognize.
The US Senator to whom the President was refering was a Republican Senator (whose name escapes me at the moment) who believed we needed to talk to Adolph Hitler and somehow convince him to stop his aggression in Europe. History bears out how well that idea worked.
Yet, what I find more interesting is how the Often Wrong Media connected the dots from the President's history lesson to a description of a policy position which the candidate they support espouses.
Democrats scream loudest when you tell the truth about their policy position by calling it an "attack".
