Obama Takes Issue With Bush Foreign Policy Speech

Right, because Bush’s policy of shoot now, talk later has worked beautifully. Btw, how are those House elections coming along, President?

But Obama DID say he wanted to negotiate with terrorists. Launching an attack on Bush does not change that fact.

It seems now that all our leaders have to swear allegiance to a foreign country before they can have any legitimacy in the US. When are our leaders going to wake up to the fact that Israel’s interests are not = to US interests? Probably never.
Perhaps the solution is to throw them all out and let the president, congress, etc take permanent residence in the Knesset.

What a mature way to deal with people who threaten you. Instead of speaking to them as peers, you point guns at them. Then you duck and scream when they point guns back at you. Foreign policy should not be conducted the same way as high school politics.

I voted for Bush twice and I am proud of it

Dave I’m not sure you have been paying attention. The country is bankrupt. Your boy has borrowed anouther 4 trillion dollars. I would rather go bankrupt giving health care to americans than giving cash and blood to our enemies.

So when the President of the United States is giving a speech somewhere, he is actually speaking in code to Obama? I don’t which is more dangerous, Obama’s arrogance, or his paranoia.

Scoreboard:
Magic number needed to win 2025
Obama’s state wins 32 lost 17, Delegate count 1890 +/-.
Clinton’s state wins 17 lost 32,
Delegate count 1713 +/-.

OTE: JOHN MCCAIN, the only sane vote for true Americans. A true war hero, patriot in the Oval Office.
Amen! justme2see

How much foreign policy experience does Obama have? Oh yeah, ZERO! As a matter of fact, He hasn’t really done anything, ever. NOTHING. But he can give a good speech though, right? Wise up folks, you’re letting your hatred of Bush cloud your judgement.

Even though I am a conservative Republican, Bush has no credibility to criticize anyone! He has devastated our country! Heaven help whoever is our next President. He or she must bring this country back together and clean up the horrendous mess that they will inherit.

There is undeniable evidence that Iran is killing American troops in Iraq. Iran was in complete control of the Beirut Lebanon terrorist uprising. They are funding and arming the two terrorist groups, as well as Syria, surrounding Israel. They are creating havoc in any way they can to become the regional power in the middle east. If they get a nuclear weapon, they will be 200 times harder to cotrol…… So Obama wants to pull out of the middle east immediately and create a void for Iran to fill —- not too bright Barack!!

No solar energy development, drilling or nuclear plants results in wars, devaluation of dollar, high energy prices and disaster. None of these candidates has agreed to solve this problem, not even McCAin. None of them get it. 20 years of this policy and everybody can see and feel the results.

I voted for Bush twice before and would happily do so again without thinking.

Having an Islamic background, Obama should know that appeasement approaches will only be viewed as weaknesses. Make no mistake about it, countries that are Islamic are not secular in nature, but religious. As an example here in the U.S. just look at what CAIR has done. The entire purpose of the Islamic political agenda is about eradicating Isreal and enforcing Islam on the rest of the world. Islam grew by the sword, and is still using it to further its goals. How far off the beaten path is any religion that not only espouses, but indoctrinates its younger generation into suicide? There are no radical muslims, nor are there any moderate muslims. There are only muslims who follow the dictates of their mullah.

Oh yes… let’s vote for McCain, the walking goiter. Someone his age should spend his time playing bingo and picking dried food off his bib, not running this country.

Who listens to Bush or Cheney any way? Who cares what these failures have to say about any thing? McCain too!

Obama is a trip, anything said against anything he says is deflected to be “racist”, “politics of fear”, blah blah blah
November should be interesting, cause this guy really has not been vetted at all as of yet. Most Americans barely pay attention to the primaries. I fear that the whole Wright things and lack of hand over the heart stuff (google Obama & pledge) will do him harm in the general election. This is where Hillary would have been better for the General election. Most Americans want a president that hands down loves this country and will do anything to protect it.

We have been “negotiating” with terrorists and their supporters for three decades. For our efforts, American interests have been attacked over 15 times since then, culminating in the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Bush changed the “tone” of the talk and we haven’t been hit since.
Obama forgets that Iran has steadily grown stronger and Democrats voice of opposition grows louder.

I’ve decided as an American, the progressives are right – libs like Tina aren’t worth fighting for and she is deserving of sharia law. Cowards like her certainly isn’t worth the risk of losing one military man so I say bring them all on home.
Al Queda, your welcome mat awaits. And this time, don’t worry about retaliation. Tina wants to talk nice and she takes the blame for your anger.
Vote Obambi 2008! Women, one burka size fits all!

Well, we have come full circle. What goes around, certainly does come around and George Bush is out there slinging his old lies again and trying to scare people. What the hell does he care. In less that 250 days he will be out of office and can give up his war time sacrifice and start playing golf again.
The fact that people actually fall for this crap is amazing. Of course he was taking a shot at Obama and anyone else who might think first before they invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.

Earth to BO, the world doesn’t revolve around you, get the chip off your shoulder.

Earth to BO, the world doesn’t revolve around you, get the chip off your shoulder.

Greg…I guess you didn’t hear the interview…Bush said some of the most ridiculous and insulting things. He insulted our troops, the people of this country and made himself look like a total fool…

I think the President is right on this one. History has proven that you cannot make deals with terrorists because they will not honor their promises. If Obama does not understand this, he is not qualified to be the Commander in Chief of the United States. We must vote for McCain for our own safety.

The idea that we shouldnt talk to our enemies is juvenile. Thats the way we thought in 7th grade.

Obama, you protest alittle quick there. Bush wasn’t talking about you…just those like Carter that think Hamas is a peaceful group.

BKL said:Dave I’m not sure you have been paying attention. The country is bankrupt. Your boy has borrowed anouther 4 trillion dollars. I would rather go bankrupt giving health care to americans than giving cash and blood to our enemies.
Some of us BKL believe that when America is attacked that we should actually fight back. Some of us actually believe America is worth fighting for.

______________
You realize he did go on Fox News, right?

“Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists”.
WHAT? Obama himself he would hold un-conditional talks with Iran’s President, the man who has said he would nuke Israel, drive the rest of the Jews into the ocean, and come after us next. Obama has declared he believes Iraq ought to invite the guy into Baghdad and allow Iran to have a part/say in the future of Iraq. Sounds like Bush is ‘spot-on’ regarding Obama, the man who accused our own troops of targeting and killing women and children in Afghanistan!

obamma is a foreign policy disaster waiting to happen.

Does Bush really not see that everyone outside of this country sees him as the total TOOL he is?

I don’t care what party the next President comes from as long as he has a level of intelligence greater than a toad. Eight years of “leadership” from a retarded guy (that I regretfully voted for) has laid waste to this country’s coffers and respectability. Excluding Bush’s cronies, are any of us better off now than when this walking disaster came into office?

Obama thought Bush was talking about him! HAHAHA. Obama clearly associated Bush’s comments with his own beliefs which means Obama inadvertently acknowledged that he is an appeaser. What a fool!

Obama is not the cure; he is the disease.

Bush – not my President.
:(

Obama’s strategy of appeasing terrorists does not work. History has shown this over and over. This should scare people even more than him sitting in front of a racist anti-american congregation for 20 years.

Bush contrasting himself from Barack Obama = Best thing that could happen for Barack Obama.

The 32% of America that approve’s of George Bush’s job will clearly be persuaded by his arguments against Barack Obama.

cindyct,
Name ONE thing Obama has done to unite the country? ONE?

Any criticism, veiled or obvious, of Obama by Bush is helpful.It could be worse. Bush could be endorsing him .

Who supports Obama?
- Those who believe in nothing will believe anything.

I have read everyone of these posts and it seems like America has nothing but stupid uneducated people posting on these sites. All of you need to find something better to do than this.

Reading these comments only further cements the idea that Americans are selfish, manipulative, and uncaring.

Cindyct,
What’s your evidence (besides him saying that he is, and your fond wishes that its true) for concluding that Obama is trying “to pull this country together?”

I thought it was a shot at Jimmy Carter, but when your running for president you try and make headlines anyway you can.

Obama is not a strong leader, he has already said he would talk with and negotiate with America’s enemies….
A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for a stronger and safer America.

But Obama DID say he wanted to negotiate with terrorists. Launching an attack on Bush does not change that fact.
*****************************************But you see this is what the liberals do when faced wioth unarguable truth. They start yelling, wave their arms about and change the subject.Pathetic, weak traitorous losers, the whole lot of them.

#1 I would vote for Bush again and history should look kindly on him in 20 to 30 years, provided that strong and sound leadership will follow him up.
#2 Barry Obama is not that answer.
Look at the electoral map. The democrat part, with thier insistance on incorporating as many ideologies as possible, created thier own muddeled situation. THe majority of States Barry has won will not tilt to the democrats in Novemember. People will shift away from either candidate because of the option left in the democrat party. O’bama will not win one southern state that he has won. He will not win the western agricultural states, he’s going to have problems in the rust belt.
it goes to prove with what options we have on the table as Americans for president just how much of a power vacume President Bush is leaving.
that’s the biggest legacy to Bush.

Maverick (Mccain) thinks we can bring our troops back in 2013. YOu have got to be kidding me. with all the problems we have back home (economy , health care, gas) you are still talking about spending all that money and time over there (don’t forget life).
This war is not a personal war we must ‘Quote win”, its foreign policy. Mccain it is not personal, it is just business. let the iraqis know that.
GO DEMS

This is why Obama will tank. He should have just kept silent. Appeasement will not work and Obama knows it. Now that he put his foot in his mouth.
Obama appears like a terrorist appeaser that will not play well in Peoria, godforbid if the discussion is followed by some terrorist attack we are looking at McCain (Bush 3) for President.
I still think Clinton is a better candidate than Obama to respond to Bush.

How long has it been now since GW and Darth have been irrelevant? Let’s see. How about 7 1/2 years give or take. The man is a absolute disgrace since nothing he says or does has ever, ever worked. In fact, everything he touches goes straight to h e l l !
You know it. I know it. And, it’s way past time we do away with him. Try something new. Geez, who knows? It might have a chance of working. Not a single thing Bush has done has even come close.
Go Obama!
Ellen

For all the morons complaining about Bush spiking the price of gasoline, you need to purge your very small disk space of memory.
Gasoline was also less than $2.00 in November 2006. When you going to start pointing the fingers at San Fran Nan and Hairless Reid? Congress still controls the purse strings, doesn’t it?

Promises made during a campaign are meant to be broken. This is true for every canidate. No one can forsee what any of the Presidential Canidates would do once elected into office. To bad the media has not made a “Truth O Meter” during their campaign speeches. Instead we are subjected to endless news talk shows with diverse, extreme, wacky and alien opinions. Makes a person want to Barf. Hello, is there anyone normal out there.

Can any one of you Obama supporters name one thing your beloved candidate has done? Just one thing? Anything? I know he wrote a book but other that. . .anything?

We dealing with people that only understand violence. Obama and friends are delusional to think talking with the maniacs will somehow work. Been there, done that., Japan, talks worked well right up to Pearl Harbor, Hitler, Holocaust, duh?

I think it is pretty funny that someone would say Obama will bankrupt this country – as if we aren’t bankrupt already. Take a look around and read the paper. Our economic situation is grim and there is no expedient solution because for the last 40 years politicians from both sides of the aisle have been avoiding the real issues like the plague.
Vote for limited government. Republicans – Democrats – makes no difference. They both take our hard-earned money and squander it on political follies.

P.S. “President Bush is right. If Obama is elected, terrorist may use our commercial airplanes and fly them into our tall buildings and kill people. Vote republican!” Either the stupidity of this statement is astronomical. Or it’s sarcasm is brilliant. Terrorist DID fly planes into our tall building and kill people. And it was under Bush’s watch! Yeah he was right on top of things. Then he got reelected by running a campaign based on fear. The Conservative party is the FEAR party!

BHO is an empty suit. The man has no acconplishments. State senator, two years US Senator and before that a Community Organizer? He’s never had a real job.
Clueless lightweight every time he opens his mouth it’s a joke.
“It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.”

Obama is very green but Hillary still thinks she is going to win. Fight it out Hillary, it just makes you look that much worse!
Obama, the President (Bush) is allowed to show his support for democracy in the Middle East. There is nothing wrong with that.
Why are you showing your true colors so soon?
I take that back, that’s not fair but it IS a concern of mine. I am really not shure who’s side you are on!

Dave C
do you realize that McCain’s continueing aggresive foreign policy stance…will not only make us overwhelmingly less safe (as we have seen with the increase inrecruitment from the past 7 years) but IT will bankrupt the country.
Go read Obama’s policy papers…
Joe Klein said it best… no one reads policy papers…and that is the problem with this whole election.
If you all are concerned about the future of this country …you would go read them.
Obama’s are the ONLY ones that make us not only safer but more financially sound…and a smarter investment.
His economic policies are ground in economics…not fear or gaining votes…go read them.

What planet is Obama living on?
We were attacked 4 or 5 times under the Clinton administration and haven’t been attacked anywhere in the world since 9/11 and that qualifies as “failed to secure America” ???
I am feeling pretty secure with Bush calling the shots!

Obama is both a fool and a hypocrite – like all Liberals. Welcome to the Obamination.

If I was a terrorist I would revel in these comments from Americans. We speak poorly about each other–full of hate and self image. If I was presedent I would talk to every enemy, “It is in your best interest tow work with America and prosper because if you harm us we will distroy you.” Bush said it and Obama/McCain will too!

I don’t agree with everything that he has implemented but Bush is absolutely right. These regimes are ones you can’t appease with talk as it is apparent with they way they are sending thugs over the border into Iraq to disrupt the way of life,including the murdering of our troops who are trying to bring normalcy to the Iraqi people. Talk is cheap with these dictators who spew rhetoric on a daily basis. They unfortunately learn by action.

So ok? We think that Bush made these statements with no references? If Barack had not made these statements, Bush would not have made his. So isn;t it fear for Barack to imply that he was referring to him. You people are so blind you won;t see it even if God himself stood before you. What is wrong with talking to your enemies? It is no wonder that we are in deep s**t right now. People open your minds… this is the 21st century.

“I love it when libs blame Bush for $4.00 gasoline, hurricanes, terrorists, and the national debt.”
Well if you can credit him with saving us from the terrorists, then we can attack him for all the bad things that have gone wrong.
“To Paul: You certainly know how to twist facts to avoid assigning blame where it should rightfully go – democrats.”
4500 dead americans in Iraq is not twisting the facts. That is directly the cause of a republican president and a republican controlled congress. Why don’t you show me some facts suggesting that democrats are responsible for the housing crisis or the trillions we’re spending on war? And copy-pastes from the No-Spin Zone don’t count.
Have you forgotten how the republicans voted against healthcare programs for children? Saying they were too expensive… even though a year of that program would have cost the same as a month in Iraq. Republicans don’t care about you or your families, which is why they vote against social programs and spend all your money dropping bombs on civilians on the other side of the globe.

Something is very wrong if I am starting to agree with George W.
Even though I am a Democrat, I am concerned that Obama is dangerously naive — which puts our national security at risk.
Terrorists do not want a dialogue. They only want more ammunition to kill us. Our views are too different to find any sort of mutual respect.

cramos,
That is why Jewish support for Obama may go below 50%. Even Kerry got 85% Mccain has a good shot at taking NJ, NY, Fl, PA with the mass defections non-black, non-ultra liberal white Democrat base.

Obama has had 3 whole years in the senate, that’s almost as many years as he spent in Muslim schools in Indonesia growing up during his formative years. It’s time he was the President.

If talking is appeasement, I assume that, as Israel is the aggressor, Bush is saying that the Palestinians should not talk to the Israelis. By the way, tell me one instance in which Iran has threatened us. Even if they did, they do not have the military capability to attack us. What is the problem. So they call us names, we call them names, let’s stop the name calling and discuss our differences. What in the Hell is wrong with that ? We have an army on their border. warships off their coast, Of course they are concerned.

Obama isn’t curious george…he’s paranoid george….those ears keep getting bigger and bigger…pin them back boy!

“Could some of the smart democrats point out where there have been successes in talking with aggressors to get them to stop without using the threat of military action?”
- Nixon going to China.
- Reagan having recurring meetings with Gorbachev.
- Ike negotiating the diplomatic end to the Sino-US war (which many still think was the “Korean” war.)

Bush is the biggest moron ever produced by the USA. Anyone giving him any credibility after all his lies is a joke.

One thing this board shows… Republicans definitely seem to have more time on their hands. Trying to counteract the “liberal media” by posting on blogs, are you? You all, and all of your “opinions”, full of hate and above all, FEAR, gave us the worst President in U.S. history. Unfortunately for you, voters are finally showing signs they have learned something from this mess. President Obama. Get used to it boys.

Any candidate from any party would get the Jewish vote if they promised 60 more years of generous financial and military aid to Israel.
To understand Business As Usual, just follow the money.

Paranoia …big destroya!

Why is Obama flinching?
Is he playing the “victim” card, again?

To the person who keeps on writing about airplanes and buildings….you think 9/11 is a joke? You are an idiot!!!!!
Do not blame that on BUSH….you can thank Jimmy Carter for that he is the man responsible for unleashing international Jihad on the planet and turning over IRAN to Muslim fanatics…..
THIS IS WHAT HAPPEND THE FIRST TIME WE ELECTED AN INEXPERIENCED PRESIDENT!
THE SECOND TIME WAS BUSH, THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

This guy Obama is the most arrogant person I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard plenty.
If Hillary doesn’t win, and we all she would have if Michigan and Florida were counted, then my vote is for McCain.

Republicans will be running on their record in November. A 35 year rise to power and absolute power for 6 of the last 8. Look at all the good they’ve accomplished.

When a Terrorist State or group knows that you will negotiate with them to make them stop terrorizing, they will increase attacks to make you give more. History proves this. Wake up Amoronicans!

Who’s side is Obama on???!!!

People have stopped listening to bush a long time ago, I am an Obama supporter but it doesnt matter to me now on who gets the nomination,as long as Bush goes away.He acts as if resorting to war is always the answer.He was wrong about Iraq and he still act as if he’s an expert at diplomacy.The only deplomacy he knows is the one that involves spilling more blood

Bush is the weakest president USA has ever had. USA was attacked on 9-11-2002 under his watch. I we Americans need to open our eys Bush never kept us safe he has ruined the country in any way possible.

National security is the most important issue in most people’s mind! We have had NO attack in US soil for the past 8 years for a reason! Terrorists do not want us to live ! They do not like our way of life, we are “INFIDEL” to them. The only thing they know about is gun power! It’s either they live or we live! Talking to those extremists can do nothing to secure our homeland except boosting their claim to their cause! This has always been what Obama’s way of diplomacy — direct talk to our enemies — which is fatal to our country!!! Obama has NO ClUE!

>HE’S VISITED 57 STATES? DO THEY INCLUDE FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN?
Yep, he has been to FL and MI. He has been to israel 7 times which makes for a total of 57 ;-)!

It’s simple. If you vote for the Democrat party, a terrorist will kill you. Or something like that. Jeebus, Bush is annoying.

OK……… I give! Bush is a fool, and it is time to turn the page. The economy is in the tank and gas is at $4.00 / gal. But wait…….. Has Obama really taken a stand and said what he would do? While everyone is throwing stones at GW, let’s count all the attacks we have had on US soil. I am sure Obama and Pelosi are all excited about prospects in Nov. I sure hope they get more do than they have since she became speaker.
There is plenty of blame to go around. Maybe we should start listening to each other instead of looking to see what letter is behind their last name.

Everything said is political in an election year. I don’t think Obama should try to defend himself. He should try to defend his position. Whether the remark was intended as a slam on him or not, it is only a slam on a position on one issue. If Obama feels strongly that the position on the issue should be defended, he should do so – hopefully without slamming the President. I know it won’t happen, but I hope this election is directed toward discussing – however heatedly – issues and not on hating one candidate or the other as is often the case – especially in these posts. I don’t dislike Obama, Hillary, or anyone that disagrees with my beliefs – political, religious, or otherwise. I will support the winner in November and call him my President – and I will give him the respect that office grants. If I did it for President Clinton, I can do it for anyone.

Man Up!! —– I will protect my own family unless Obama becomes President (God forbid!) and tries to take away our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms!

Obama thinks everything is about him lol

Obama wants to set us back 1600 years.

How do you think you’re going to talk to terrorists? Do you think there’s some magical thing to say to keep them from killing innocent people? They (like Iran) would welcome long drawn out dialog to give them more time to develop nukes–all the time they would be laughing at the USA. We can not fix what has been broken for thousands of years; just do the best we can to give our children and grand children a chance to have a good life.
Okay, so it’s our economic greed you say–fix that and they’ll like us, right? Are you driving a car? Are you shopping for gadgets at the lowest possible price? Guess what: you’re guilty too!

Obama is so green, he was born yesterday.

Obama is definitely showing his weakness. This has only begun considering Obama’s previous comments on Iran and that fact that one of Obama advisors was having direct talks to Hamas. Obama and his far left fanatics seem to be in their own reality.

Wait and see — by next spring Iran wil have all their pawns in place and will start lobbing missles into Israel. I just hope to God we have a man in office who makes the right decisions. Thats NOT Obama, he will just want to sit down and talk about it!

Barak sounds a little defensive doesn’t he?….possibly a little paranoid?

I’m also suprised half of you god fearing terrorist fearing people can work a computer shouldn’t you be hiding and hating from under your bed, praying W. will come save ya?

Obama is paranoid from (before) the start!!!

Dek —- Dont fool yourself… even if Obama says he will get out of Iraq asap…we will have a military presence in Iraq for DECADES to come (just like S Korea, Germany, etc). At least McCain is HONEST when he says we will be there a while longer, even though he is misquoted about it.

Sounds to me like President Bush described a garmet and Barak Obama claimed it as the coat out of his closet. A good politician would have side stepped this issue without sounding defensive and stupid.

dl, your argument is a bunch of emotional nonsense. There is absolutely NO evidence that “Bush gave the terrorists a stronger argument, more recruits and more countries and areas to spread to while we were all stuck in Iraq”.
So please, back up your claim. How many more Al Qaeda recruits are there now than there were in 2001?? How many??
How many more countries is Al Qaeda in than they were in 2001?? How many??
If you cannot answer these specific questions, please take off the tin foil hat and start thinking for yourself. The mother ship has failed you completeley.

Last I remember Bill was bombing terrorist training camps in afganistan and the repubs we’re accusing him of just covering up an affair. They controlled congress and pressured Bill to stop targeting al queda in Afganistan. Then good ol W took like the first 9 months of his presidency off. I’m not saying W helped the terrorist I’m saying his just didn’t do much to stop them.

The only way to negotiate with a terrorist is from a position of strength. Talking and negotiating in a Muslim country to them is a sign of weakness. They ONLY understand brute force. You kill enough of them and they will get the point. But, have to destroy their perverted education system of Madrassas also.

My grandmother said it better…”I’d talk to the Devil if it meant it would save the life of one of my children.” It takes courage to stand up for your convictions and face one on one with someone who threatens you harm. It takes a coward to push the crowd forward and remain encircled by bodyguards while yelling “we’ve got to protect ourselves from those evil doers”

Joseph I am not able to comprehend your beliefs.
The Holocaust is not a myth, it is a fact.
General Eisenhower understood that many people would be unable to comprehend the full scope of this horror. He also understood that any human deeds that were so utterly evil might eventually be challenged or even denied as being literally unbelievable. For these reasons he ordered that all the civilian news media and military combat camera units be required to visit the camps and record their observations in print, pictures and film. As he explained to General Marshall, “I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to ‘propaganda.’”
We now return to our regularly scheduled programming of Obama taunting.

Hi
Though i support hillary , i am against withdrawing troops from Iraq.
Obama is too left but i am better off with Maccain.
Withdraw troops-
This is for obama-
Hay America promised the peace for afganistan and iraq not georg bush or Cheney. It is our duty to make sure they are protected . If we withdraw from iraq , the terrorist will go after the people that we sworn to protect .
Pathetic . I am democrat and this time for Maccain.

I have been disapointed with many of Bush’s decisions as president. But he is absolutely correct when he says that talking to terrorists and rogue nations is foolishness.
An Obama presidency is the scariest thing I can think of. I’m not thrilled with John McCain, but he will be strong on foreign policy. Unfortunately, we may get Obama and then we’ll be able to experience the profoundly negative results of weak foreign policy.
Considering the blind devotion to Senator Obama, maybe we are due for a lesson.

Bush is the last person on the face of the earth to lecture anybody about diplomacy. After we rightly went into Afghanistan to take care of the Taliban, it has been one misstep after another, culminating with our war on Iraq, which will go down as the biggest blunder ever in American foreign policy. If Bush REALLY meant what he said about going after terrorists, why in the hell didn’t he go after Hamas and Hezbollah? We know the answer: because it would have been a political and international disaster. He thought Iraq was a safer bet than these terrorist groups or Iran. There’s not an intellectually honest bone in his, Cheney’s, or Rumsfeld’s body. I’ll be SO glad to see Bush and his cronies ride off into the sunset.

Bush policies have strengthened Al Qaeda. What an idiot!

You people are small-minded and naive. After what George Bush has done the last 8 years, he has no credibility in saying talking to the enemy is the wrong thing to do. Look what ignoring them has done. Republicans like to admire Reagan so much, but didn’t he eventually become very good friends with a sworn enemy? A guy named Gorbachev? You people like to cherry pick every part of an argument that strengthens your stance. Bush squandered Billions of dollars in surplus, and now look at the deficit. Yeah blame Democrats all you want, but this is THE WORST ADMINISTRATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY! Refute that if you can.

Nuke Mecca!
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Obama is such a naieve child. Is this the best the Liberals could come up with for a candidate? My god..no wonder liberalism carries a hated stygmatism..you guys are absolute idiots…
maybe we will get lucky and Obama will be in a debilitating accident before the election takes place…God help us all if this mental infant becomes president.

Hap,
Nice Alien reference!

The Bushies are experts at misinformation. For all you who blindly follow – start doing a little research. Check out what the FBI in Minneapolis knew about the terrorist attack before it happened! Bush’s war on terrorism in Iraq is a farce. He got America into a sandtrap in Iraq because he had a personal vendetta against Saddam Hussein. No, we should NEVER negotiate with terrorists. I’m at the point where I honestly don’t care what party is in office! But I do want an administration that when given clear clues to stop a terrorist attack, will follow through. There was no need to waste over 4000 American lives and dump untold fortunes into this war that had nothing to do with terrorist attacks against our nation!

I cant figure out if some on this board are kidding or have drank to much of the Bush kool aid — ok lets have a reality check – Carter was crappy – but history will remember Bush as worse – just the facts. Bush has killed a thriving economy – two wars – no WMD – inflation overload – yeah the Repubs past 8 years do give me reason to want something different

“I love this theme that Obama will talk to our enemy. But yet he won’t go on Fox News. What a brave man.”
Hahaha, you’re kidding, right? Fox News is about as fair and balanced as the Taliban. I wouldn’t want to go on Fox either.

Obama is a colossal jewel of glittering ignorance. It is statements like his, Hillary’s, and Bob Barr’s that give the terrorists hope; that if they can simply hang on until Bush leaves, we’ll pull out of Iraq, essentially removing their greatest obstacle to reconstituting their power and influence.

Bush would just point a bomb at them and let it work. We should have learned form the Hezballah attacks and Isreal’s impotent response, violence is not the only means to acheive political settlements.
walk softly and carry a big stick, worked for Teddy and can work again.

the bush family is a family of appeasement, why do you think osama is still on the loose and why we diverted attention from the real terrorist to iraq? the close association betweent the bush family and the bin laden family.

I think Obama has the knowledge, skills, and abilities to run this Country right in the ground, lets give him the chance we can believe in.

Most of these commenters are neither liberal or conservative, just frightened children looking for protection from the boogy man.
Lincoln was wrong. Evidently you CAN fool most of the people most of the time.
You sad, pathetic, little children; you have gotten the leaders you deserve, and will continue to, until you grow up. The rest of the world is waiting…

Bush worse than Carter????
Were you even alive during the Carter years???
You Libs were saying the same thing about Reagan back then and history has proved him right. Give it at least 10 years before you start judging Bush in your “history lesson”.

Dearest indykat: you will reach enlightenment on the glorious day of Obama ascending into the heavens, and making a new heaven and a new earth. What? Oh you don’t think he Jesus? Coulda fooled me.

I heard part of Bush’s address. The chosen people taking their land. He is not doing mcuh to help the peace talks with the Palistians. clinging to bibilical phrases is not a way to achieve the US goals and aims for the region.
We should all realize that the Bush policies have produced failure in US aims. 82% of the us think we are on the wrong tracks. The GOP leadership is talking about distancing themselves from Bush so as to not appear to be continuation of his policies.

GW is the house servant and “appeaser” for investment banks, oil companies, drug companies and health insurance companies while ordinary Americans go bankrupt.

Why just the other day, Hillary was dodging bullets trying to have a talk with Ahmadinejad and Chavez. There was incoming rounds all over the place. Poor woman had to run for cover.

Wow. The amount of stupid in these comments makes me weep for our nation. Democracy is a good idea only if the people care to take a sober and educated look at the issues. All of you who are beating your breast and shouting epithets…you are not patriots. You are zealots, and not much different from the terrorists you claim to despise.
Grow up.

Hey NY…GWB isn’t running for office, moron. Try to keep up.

Jack,
Thanks for putting us in our place. You who are so wise and virtuous! Lead us won’t you?

Way to go Bush! Obama and his naive group of followers are a bunch of idiots. It’s unbelievable how democrats can put up two pathetic choices for President!!

McCain has promise to appoint ultraconservative Supreme Court justices who would expand police powers and reduce personal freedoms. Scalia is one of his favorites. Scalia, who on 60 minutes said that the constitution only bars the authorities from using torture as punishment, that nothing was said about using it to get information. This alone is reason enough to not vote for McCain.

With Mc Cain being pretty much a liberal and Obama at least being ok with his liberalness I feel compelled to support the man and his ideas. After all OIL is up again today and my investments have me in aprecarious position where I am more afraid of being a bag holder with worthless stock then the lingering fear of some apocalyptic attack on america. Terrorism is terrible but whats worse is not eve having a chance to make a living. Bush’s war has to end so we can be rich again.

You make a good point, Christian, about 95% of Iranians wanting good relations with the US. I’d venture it’s even higher than that. But notice the audience you’re trying to speak to here – rabid hate-mongers who preach and probably practice the lowest form of social interaction: fear based reactions to anything different from themselves. They call themselves patriots. They are the Tribe called Fear.

This from a president who gave up the game of golf so he can stand in solidarity with the families of the fallen solders. What a moron! Him and Cheney should be tried for the war crimes they have committed in the last 5 years.

The question remains what has Bush done in his 8 years apart from bankrupting us.. and taking this economy into a recession.
I feel sorry for Barack he has some cleaning up to do.
No wonder he carries the lowest rating of any president in its History. he needs to shut his pie hole and sit low and exit without being notice because he hasn’t done anything .
You might as well had put in the dead guy from the movie ~weekend at bernie~ in the oval office, my bet more stuff would have gotten done.
When you look up the WORD USELESS Bush picture is right next to it.

In 1938, Neville Chamberlain tried to negotiate by appeasement, however such actions allowed Hitler to measure his opponents as weak, and unprepared, and thus only hastened entry into World War II and ultimately specific attacks on Great Britain itself. … Dave , CA

Having read through the comments, it is clear that this nation needs a 2nd civil war.
Democrats started the last one…they have earned the next one.

I voted for Bush twice before and would happily do so again without thinking. Tina Fresno Well, you said it yourself “…happily do so WITHOUT THINKING”… Thanks Tina, and others like you for the mess we have today. Karma will get you back!

When you look up the WORD USELESS Bush picture is right next to it.

I justed looked “useless” up in the dictionary and there is a picture of our 110th Do Nothing Democrat Congress with the lowest approval ratings in the history of Congress and a full 10% below the approval rating of our President…………fyi….

safety is all that matters to citizens from its government. all other considerations are conversation by comparison. NObama is a security moron. McCain sucks, but he will keep us safe. Thats all that matters in 2008.

If you liked Carter you’ll LOVE Osama

What Bush said is both accurate and historically true. It didn’t work for Chamberlain either. It actually empowered Hitler.

Fox is waiting for the O campaign to respond! Let’s guess what their answer will be: he never really meant what he said in the debate, he’s sorry, he now
separates himself with his WORDS, just words. He no longer will associate himself with Those Words. Those words are not representative of who HE is!

If you could read my mind love*********, sing a song my people, make a joyful noise to the Lord. Help one another. Vote for peace and change. Elect uh,uh,-Charlie Brown.

Even the most eloquent of you sound ridiculous.

I would like to know exactly what it is that Obama has hope for and what it is he is going to change?
I want specifics not just this make the world a better place, dogs and cats living together, lets all hold hands and smell the flowers crap.
What will he change and HOW?
I think hope is great, but I’d like to know what Obama is referring to when he talks about hope.
The man will end up winning the Presidency and no one will have any clue what the guy is even all about.

Americans are great at two things: thinking they’re better than their neighbors, and hating their leaders while doing nothing to try and change.

Thanks,
First of all, you suggestion that an American citizen has no right to express an opinion unless they run for office is ludicrous, and frankly un-American. It is our duty to express our opinion. My complaint is that the people in these comments are just throwing around insults, not actually having any sort of exchange of ideas.
As for our political leaders being more knowledgeable…did you even read my posts? My complaint is that people in this thread are calling our leaders morons, which is obviously NOT true. Insults serve no purpose, and are not constructive to solving our country’s problems.
Your blind lashing out at me (when we actually seem to agree on this last issue) goes quite a ways to illustrate my point. Thanks, Thanks!

Wake up,people! Now is our chance to break the yoke of these FEAR MONGERERS. Love always trumps fear.The manipulation of populations through the use of psycological conditioning is as old as we have had populations of people on this planet. The ones doing the manipulating now, have made a science out of it and my guess would be that they have diverted more resources toward this method of control than you could possibly imagine(many,many times more than will ever be spent on the wars in the middle-east).The one thing with which we can truly over come the things that terrorize us is knowledge.Seek it! Seek to know the real truth!Alot of us are choking on the spoon-fed stuff that they give us and try to pass off as truth.Truth or lies, we have to use our very,very best judgement!! REMEMBER THE AGE-OLD ADAGE,DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU HEAR AND HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE? This could’nt be any more important than in today’s world!!! IF you love your children,your family,your neighbors and yourself seek the truth and FIND IT!!!!

If Obama is so unfit, how is it that he has raised more money than Clinton and McCain combined?
What makes someone qualified to be president? besides being bred for the part, going to the right schools, knowing the right people and being really wealthy? We have a caste system for selecting who takes office in this country, long lines of political families. This isn’t the old days when candidates had been generals and men who accomplished things. Don’t come at me with that POW crap, last time I checked, this country elected winners. GW beat the British, Andrew Jackson took Florida and pacified Indians, Grant beat the hillbillies, Eisenhower beat the nazis, and John McCain crashed his plane 4 times before being captured. He’s really a patriot president.
What am I saying? Im saying the only thing that qualifies you to be president is if you can win. Was Bush qualified? I think we can see by the result he wasn’t, but guess what…he won. Sorta. Might makes right, as far as Im concerned they’re all equal, sleeping in the white house doesnt make you qualified, neither does running every four years for the last 40. I hope Obama wins, but I think it’d be fun to see McCain win, and watch all the hillbillies realized they’d been hoodwinked again.

Obama has no experience.
Hillary “claims” 8 years of White House experience.
Is this the best Democrats can do?
McCain is a shoe-in.

Obama just showed the world what a cry baby he is. Boo-hoo. Go Bush!

You tell him, Obama! Bush has ruined America. He’s a liar, a fraud and has the ratings to prove it. Stay after this pinhead until the day he leaves office. Then, maybe we can forget he ever happened. If we can’t, our grandkids can when they are paying the bills he created. The only creature lower than Bush is a snake. Same thing.

To all the idiots out there: Wake up and smell the beauty of an Obama Presidency.
All of you are accustomed to the corporate tyranny. You cannot imagine a prince of peace like Obama to be given to America from the unseen forces of the universe.
You need to wake up from your corporate slavery mode and try a different approach to solving crises. George W is full of bluster. We have witnessed his kind of approach and witnessed where it led us to.

President Bush is right on the money! Obama himself stated that he would meet with Iran without preconditions. Came straight from the horse’s mouth.

Let’s go over this slowly for the liberals that have a hard time understanding:
Have we had anything happen to us since 9/11/01 in the United States since we’ve gone on the offensive against terrorists?
You may not agree with the invasion of Iraq that was based on false intelligence (as I don’t), but his track record for keeping us from dying by the thousands speaks for itself.
Talking with terrorists (and affiliated groups) will not solve anything. They learn by force.

anti-corporate-fascism just referred to Obama as the Prince of Peace.
Wow.
Your an idiot!

Obama is not just garbage. He is Muslim garbage, and so are all of the anti-American liberals who support him.

“Shaun — Yeah — like Clinton-North Korea?”
No more like Bush-North Korea. We are still working with them to halt their nuclear programs. Negotiations aren’t the end all be all, but they should be a tool in our arsenal. Or should we just invade there to?
I am disappointed by the quality of discussion in this thread. Too many people speak from their emotions rather than their brains. Keep spouting hate. Keep spouting racism. Keep spouting devisive statements about liberal or conservative. We’ll destroy ourselves before any terrorist has a chance…

Wow, they sure are getting defensive! I mean, Bush didn’t mention any names, nor any office names (i.e. he didn’t say “the Senator from IL” or “House Speaker”). By the way the left is reacting, it’s as if they disagree with Bush and feel that it is indeed responsible to negotiate with terrorists. Otherwise, why get your burqas in a bunch, liberals?

Notice how almost all the pro-bomb Iran comments are coming from Jewish sounding names.Wonder why.

oh Lord, Barack IS bringing America together – I’m starting to think more like Bush!

Some people can’t be negotiated with. You simply have to deal with them in a more forceful way.
Posted by: Susanna K. Hutcheson | May 15, 2008 12:27:22 PM
Susanna–I can’t negotiate with my realtor. Can I nuke him??

So there are some such as the Jr. Senator from IL and now the “presumtive” nominee for President, who based on his broad experience (??)believe that we can talk to the rabid groups of Islamofacists? I think in his own mind he believes it is possible. I would rather see him volunteer as a hostage and talk his way out. It was only a week or two ago that Obama was sighting Roosevelt etc as being willing to talk to Hitler…what? I guess he spoke Roosevelt spoke volumes to Hitler with the Lend-Lease Programs to the Brit’s in 1940.
As for Madam Speaker…she should go back to Assad in Syria and make a laughing stock of herself once agian as the embarresment that she is.
Our Enemies have to be cheering for the “Useful Idiots” we seem to produce.

Obama, my reaction to your reaction, you just lost my vote. You can’t appease those who wish to destroy you.

The Media likes to say that Hillary gets the ‘Uneducated Voters’
Blacks don’t vote for her, so we’ll exclude them for now…
That means 48-49% of Whites are uneducated?
And 90-100% of the Blacks are educated? Because they vote for Obama?
Anybody out there believes the Media is ‘intellectually honest’ then you will believe anything!

I am seeing a lot of opposition to Bush’s speech and I just wanted to post somewhere that I and my family 100% agree with the president. Who cares if Obama and Pelosi’s feelings are hurt. The truth hurts. You cannot negotiate with evil. God bless the president for not taking the popular road, but the right one.

Drilling: I have heard from some Washington Lobbyists saying that they can see themselves working with Obama (They don’t say the same about Hillary or McCain) to have the oils companies move in to the renewable energy industry without affecting some of their important shares in the market.
The reason oil companies killed the electric cars in the 90′s was because government policies didn’t give them the freedom to go in the alternative business without damaging their profits. If their profits are damaged so will be the economy because they hold a huge share of the market.
Obama’s policies towards renewable energy and bio diesel will allow Exxon mobile to make part of their 7 billion dollars per quarter on renewable energy and bio diesel. This means we will start getting away from oil consumption.

Bush did exactly what Hitler did… he invaded a country without provocation, over false reasons, tortures people, lies about it all. So what the hell does his opinion of it matter?

Obama will lose 54 or 55 of the 57 states.

dob:
Cute. But the track record speaks for itself.

Worlds MOST stupid man never dare to show any sanity.RIP . Dubba Bush.

Yes, being nice or benign to the bad guys worked the FIRST time they tried to take down the building. Clinton simply turned it over to local cops…couldn’t recognize terrorists in his back yard…so they simply tried from above the next time. And then he thought he better not get rid of Osama when he had him in his sights…again that nice kindness also worked. Learn from history or repeat it. And I doubt if anyone who is considered to be a muslim apostate should go for tea at Iran’s or Syria’s house. Maybe the chitchat should be held elsewhere!

The statement in the ABC News O’Keefe posting is correct. Do not pander, do not appease. Hussein killed hundreds of thousands of his own countrymen and used poison gas. Regime change should have been done in ’91, when it would have been more ‘popular’.
The first Left Saviour, B.J.Clinton recommended action against him several times. But this is also the guy who took no action aganst osama bin landen after other bombings… because it might not have been ‘popular’.
Mike Savage for President ’08.

Worlds MOST stupid man never dare to show any sanity.RIP . Dubba Bush.

Don’t get me wrong because I am not a Bush fan but quite frankly, Obama has no business slamming the current President publicly as if he knows better. NO BUSINESS WHATSOEVER. He is a chronic EGOMANIAC.

Wow!…I find some of you people so funny. Your knowledge and understanding is about as deep as a thimble. I swear if it were not for the soundbite speculation of some news shows, some of you would have nothing to say.
The days of showing off the guns and nuclear arsenal and getting the rest of the world to bow down are over. It is going to take a coordinated approach to get America back to where it needs to be.
Sending the Army and Marine Corps to fight that “country” called terrorism and secure its “borders” isn’t going to get it done. It will just serve further wear our military thin. Point being you fight the idea/tactic of terrorism using just guns; people will only be concernced about what you think when they believe you are concerned about what they think. You can’t bring democracy at the end of a gun barrel.

Why did Obama assume George Bush was talking about him? I guess Obama knows his own policies.

It is amazing that Obama has taken this as a personal shot. President Bush has made many speeches that say the exact same thing he said in Israel. Either Obama’s feeling guilty or he thinks the world does revolve around him to think that Bush’s comments were directed towards him. Additionally, Obama doesn’t understand the nature of our enemies in Iran. Their radical doctrine is simple, Westerners are Infidels and are therefore subject to extermination. No conversation nor great speech will change that foundationary belief. Unfortunately, I believe another attack on U.S. soil will allow those who believe in apeasement to finally see the light.

The Pope:
first of all, you are not the Pope….However, I do believe that Pope Benedict prefers diplomacy over bombs….
Now, concerning my vast military experience….Well, I’ve served in both the Army and Air Force…I’ve also served abroad….
Diplomacy and peaceful resolutions should ALWAYS be of top priority….The days of bombs and senseless killings like in Vietnam should be long over….When will this world realize that an eye for eye and a tooth for a tooth will leave the world blind and toothless? If we do not learn to live together as brothers and sisters, we will all perish together as fools…–Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.
I believe in peaceful resolutions to problems…They work at all levels of relationships….from family, marriages, friends, and foes; work and community….and nations too….Peaceful cooexistence can be acquired when grown men and women behave like it…

Bush has repeatedly shown himself to be a n utter failure in domestic and foreign policy. Obama is kind enough to remind us of that fact.
Obama’s job as president will be to protect this country from all enemies–foreign and domestic. And in this response, he’s proved that he can do both at the same time.

Americans are great at two things: thinking they’re better than their neighbors, and hating their leaders while doing nothing to try and change them.

Well fcuk!n9 said!

And again I say for all that insult Barak Obama, I assert that the validity of your statements are built upon quicksand and hold no moral truths to them. If you insult him and claim he cant do this and wont do that. prove it. where are the facts? if you cant find them…then shut up.

Uh, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, Bombing Iraq and Afghanistan were “all talk and no action?” How much more action did you want? Maybe we could have bombed another aspirin factory and killed some more innocent janitors for you, eh.

last i check.. who has the power to VETO BILLS, and President USELESS is doing it like its going out of style , no wonder nothing is geting done.
But i thought you knew that , I guess NOT.

Let’s hear the turth. How many of you who still support Bush (I voted for him in 2000 but not 2004) drive a pickup truck? I think this would shed a lot of light on this thread…

I just want to be safe and I dont see how Clinton or Obama are going to do that. What would they do to protect my family and me? Get rid of the patriot act? Sell more military secrets to the Chinese? Give N. Korea another chance? Tell Iran we are sorry and to please stop stockpiling nuclear materials and to be nice to Isreal? I hear people say there are more terrorists now…but what did Clinton do to prevent the first world trade bombing or the second and what did Carter do to prevent hostages from being taken in Iran? They hated us as much then as they do now. I think they have always been there and always will be…and although I dont agree with a lot of what Bush does I dont want to have to tell my kids I voted for a democrat when the next terrorist strike was made possible by their weak policies.

If the Republican party hadn’t been hijacked by the religous right and the extremist neo-con ilk, would we still be in this mess?
The democrats are all over the place with their ideas but at least they are mostly positive and attempting to move the country forward. All I hear from the the right wing is racist, hate speach, pro-death warmongering, etc…. they think the 80′s (Reagan) was the golden age.
We need to flush these zealots (all of you who call Obama a Muslim, etc..) out of the republican party so we can have reasonable discussions again. I think a lot of democrats would listen and consider rationale/reasonable conservative ideas from reasonable people like Ron Paul if the rest of the GOP wasn’t such a bag of confrontational religious warhawk wingnuts.

ABC anyone but clinton

ABC anyone but clinton

Barack Hussein Obama received early Islamic training…fact.
Barack Hussein Obama was registered by his family as a Muslim at both of the schools he attended…fact.
Hamas leader Ahmed Yousef’s endorsed Obama with the words “We like Mr. Obama and we hope that he will win the election.”
Nuff said.

Bush is right. I support the strong President of the United States, even though I am a Democrat. It looks like Obama is trying to use Bush speeches as a direct attack on him. Shame on you, Obama. All you have been doing is whinning, as if those who are differ than you are attacking you or racist. I am sick and tired of Obama’s whining and unpatriotic attitude.
NO OBAMA! If the media keeps up with favoring Obama, instead of giving fair news to the public, I will switch to FOX NEWS only.

I have to agree you can tell most of those opions here are really because Obama is black. It’s to bad there are so many bacward thinking people in our great country… Hopefully time will bring about the change of heart our people need and our children deserve!!!
Obama 08

As they say in Israel in Hebrew { AL ROSH HAGANV BOER HA KOVA )

Vote for Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is Bush negotiating with North Korea at the moment if talking to our enemies is sooooo bad?

Amen……………………..
Let’s see – Bush screwed up —
Well – we were attacked on 9/11 – nope – that was Clinton’s doing – he was to busy F’n Monica to take care of the problem for 8 years.
Faltering economy in 2000 – nope – that was under Clinton’s watch too
Stock market hit an all time high in 2007 – yeah – that was Bush
Bad Mortgage law to give liberals a chance to buy a house when they didn’t have the money – nope – democratic congress
Yep – I gues I see where the libs are coming from
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
amen
….Drock

What a bunch of moronic posts! He did go on Fox News! Second, is there an echo in the room? How many times does Obama have to say he is committed to Isreal and will not negotiate with Hamas, Hesbollah or any other nut group over there that are terrorist organizations!
Regarding talking with other governments we don’t like, maybe its better to lie to America then use shock and awe in lieu of diplomacy! Condi has done such a great job, best Sec. of State ever! AYOOURFMIND!
This will make another Letterman Great speech in American History!

yet we see how bush’s negotiations are…..”strike now and find out there is actually no threat later”

mystic stated:
“Funny, throughout the Cold War, we had dialogue with USSR, and this resulted in its collapse.”
But mystic is an idiot because it wasn’t “dialogue” that was the downfall of the Soviet Union. We simply outspent them militarily. Mystic…you need to have your nurse push your wheelchair closer to your keyboard so you can use your forehead pointer to peck out something intelligent.

My My ..we are so defensive…
Bush has been saying the same things since 9/11.. Obama is full of himself if he thinks Bush meant him and him only….
STOP A SECOND TERM OF CARTER PRESIDENCY…

Obama sin Cloddin, our messiah, deliverest thou us in this hour of need!

Way to go Dana!! Another self absorb politician thinks the world revolves around him. Change??
Although it is funny how defensive BHO is on this subject. I guess it must have struck a nerve.

I noticed none of you stupid neo-cons addressed this previous post:
Some people are absolutely amazing! You Bush supporters blindly follow this idiot and believe every word that comes out of his mouth. This whole ‘War on Terrorism’ was started from events that happened on 9/11, and our government has fed us this manufactured story that anyone with a brain can see right through. How about that 16 foot wide hole in the pentagon that we are supposed to believe came from a passenger plane or how about that wtc building #7 that just ‘collapsed’ later in the afternoon but was reported by the BBC BEFORE it happened? Come on people! You cannot possibly be that naive, can you? Until THOSE questions are addressed, we cannot justify what we are doing over in Iraq!!! WAKE UP!!

From Obama’s website! “Obama is the only major candidate who supports tough, direct presidential diplomacy with Iran without preconditions.” Sounds like Obama doesn’t know what’s on his own website, which is not suprising given the fact that he never heard Rev Wright say a negative word in 20 years of sitting through his tirades.

Obama is an incompetent fool.

I agree – we don’t want Obama to give us another term of Jimmy Carter-type foreign policy. I was embarrassed to be an American when that Carter wimp was in office.

To illustrate the point, look at all of the people posting anti-muslim posts here and calling Barak a muslim. Ignorance, plain and simple. These are not Republicans, they are just the type of extremist persons who have(unfortunately for real conservatives) currently hijacked the party.
Someone hit the nail on the head above regarding Bush. Bush is not a real conservative. Ron Paul was the only true conservative running for office but he apparently isn’t pandering enough to make it into the Primaries. Guess you have to inspire hatred in the GOP to get a nomination these days.
Shame on you guys. I think the democrats should get the whitehouse this fall so maybe the GOP can start cleaning house. The religious and extremists and the mixture of both can start their own party for next time.

BooHoo, poor Obama. This after all the hate-Bush speech we’ve heard since 2000.

Obama can not be trusted behind closed doors, negotiating for who? Americans want a president that will protect them hands down. Obama is not that person. Next he will be blaming America for WWII: a ploy to distroy the black male. Get him out of here quick. Only Hillary and McCain will carry the American Torch.

Why don’t Obama and Nancy Pelosi invite Iran over for tea and then sit down with them and have a knitting party. Pelosi promised and never delivered, and Obama is made of the same stuff!!!

Bud,
Nice to hear a reasonable conservative Republican opinion again. I was starting to think I was the only one left. Too many reactionaries in our party lately.
The rest of you…Senator Obama is not a Muslim nor a moron. I may not agree with his policies, but I’m not going to kid myself that he is “evil.” He, like our president, is trying to do what he believes is best for our country. Your pretense otherwise is shallow and childish. Disagree with policy, take issue with plans and actions. But throwing around false accusations and insults is not constructive, and will not win elections or move our country forward.

ba stated: “How about that 16 foot wide hole in the pentagon that we are supposed to believe came from a passenger plane or how about that wtc building #7 that just ‘collapsed’ later in the afternoon but was reported by the BBC BEFORE it happened?”
ba…you’re an idiot.
Put your tinfoil hat on and search for Sasquatch at the grassy knoll.

I’m a democrat and I have to agree with Bush on this one. Obama is playing his dirty games. doesnt look like new kind of politics to me.

Senator Obama should welcome any criticism from Bush or Cheney, as most Americans are keenly aware that this administration has been totally incompetent and untrustworthy from the first day in office. In fact, the attitude of Americans towards the Republican party in general should be- Fool me once (2000), shame on you- fool me twice (2004), shame on me- fool me 3 times (2008), then somebody just take a gun and blow my brains out, cause I’m too damn stupid to be alive anyway!

We let Mohammed Atta into our country and walk thru our airports and onto our airplanes…
Now, we let Barack Hussein Obama into the White House?
Our pre-9/11 mentality has to come to an end!

================
Senator Obama is not a Muslim ===May be. But the fact remains he was born to a muslim, has several blood relatives including his own brother who is a muslim. What’s wrong with raising that issue?
nor a moron. ===hmmm. not sure.

Poobah:
You said senator Obama received early Islamic training….and you wrote his middle name obviously to make a point….
Based on what you wrote, it appears to me that senator Barack Obama is uniquely qualified to be president….
Please never forget this: Muslims are part of the world community…..If this world does not learn to get along with all ethnic and racially diversed people, then darkness will continue to rule the minds of the same…
By the way, senator Obama is now a Christian……Isn’t that wonderful? You should be praising the Lord instead of writing stupid stuff…

One of the missed points is that Iran is a theocracy not a democracy. Allah is the ultimate say. To a Jihad crazed leader, there is no contradiction between appeasing talk and agressive action ie. nuclear arms pointed at sworn enemies. The Jihadists Muslim faith, will not stop until the entire world is converted or killed, starting with the Jewish faith(and people)in Isreal. We are not dealing with a culture that differentiates between truth and falsehood when it comes to word and action. There is no negotiation because there is no common agreement in the meaning of words. Eastern logic is not Western logic.

That is awesome. Bush is right on the money and all the fools whining about it are merely incriminating themselves.

Tina,
You say if Barack is elected terrorist may take our airplanes and fly into buildings and kill people. Funny, it sounds EXACTLY LIKE what happened when BUSH was annointed (elections being beside the point to die-hard Republicans (unless of course it concerns Dems in Fl. or MI.). PLEAZZZZZZZZZZZZZe

Good for Bush. First time in a long time I’ve been happy with him. He is spot on with his statement, and the Good Lord be with us this next election, cause we have slim pickings…on both sides.
But Bush is so right on his comments about appeasers. These are the same people who would expel a child from school for standing up to the bully and punching him in the the nose. And giving the bully counseling and an apology. No wonder we’ve become a nation of wimps.
Go George!

Hi Guys,
Obama is right.
There are 57 contests (primaries/caucauses).
51 State Contests (49 States & 2 in Texas)
6 Other Contests
American Samoa
Democrats Abroad
District of Columbia
Guam
Puerto Rico
Virgin Islands
So, who is the idiot now?

Bush has engaged in precisely what he accuses the Democrats of doing–cutting and running. When he left Afghanistan without Obama’s head on a platter, he ran away from the fight. And lest anyone think this is a far leftie post, I’m a lifelong Republican disgusted at what Bush has done to my party.

Sometimes, when you throw a rock in the middle of a pack of dogs, the one who squeals the loudest is the one who got hit.

The funny thing is the President did not accuse anyone specific of anything. He spoke out about a practice in general terms. Who is politcizing it by making it a direct political attack? I think Obama and Pelosi may be protesting a bit to loudly, perhaps feeling a bit guilty over something?

Barak Obama is not a black man technically. He is only half black. However, he was raised as a Muslim and his wife hates our country. His name alone is a slap in the face to all of our troops overseas.

Bush used appeasement in his arguments for going into Iraq- Not ‘appeasing’ Saddam Hussein certainly paid off didn’t it!
I don’t think Obama ever said you should give into every demand a rogue leader makes, but at the same time there is value in talking to foreign leaders and only going to war as an absolute final thing. After all thats usually the American way!

I have no reservations in believing that if put in a compromising situation that required him to choose between standing up for America and our allies or wringing his hands and engaging in childish banter, hoping that as time passed the wind will bring some good tidings, Obama would repeat the same mistakes of prior liberals and socialists. Give the enemy time to prepare for your demise while you carry on. You can no more talk down conflict with your enemies, and Iran is our enemy, that you can politely and peaceful negotiate with a home invader to spare your family. The criminal mind, the terrorist mind, and their ilk only understand violence. The one and only deterrent is strength and the ability and WILL to use it. Liberals will never learn, because somewhere in their being is a fatal flaw that refuses to acknowledge that EVIL exists and must be confronted with POWER. Sure liberals will get made a conservatives for making such statements, because it is far easier to go about muttering about direct talk instead of changing. The world remains as it has always been. Liberals refuses to concede that not everyone WANTS to get along. Obama is just another face in a long line of fools.

Obama was smarter than Bush when he was in the 5th grade.

Gee….is it right for a guy who isn’t sure how many states make up the USA to question the president’s citation of historical fact?

This Quote Is the Best Remark to This Article,,,,,…

Why are Pelosi, Obama, Kerry, Biden, etc outraged by this comment?
President Bush did not name one person, he just made a comment and the Liberals are going crazy…HAHAHA!!
The reason Obama, Pelosi, etc took it personal is because they know who they are…appeasers.

Most of you republican racist re so uninformed or unaware of the contributions islam brought to the world – Europe and the West/US. Read about how the Moors/Muslims of Spain excelled in all realms of knowledge from math, science, atrology, medicine etc. and brought your European ancestors out of the dark ages, who didn’t even know how to wash their aXX. Why do we call the numbers we use Arabic numerals? Often a culture deomonizes one that it borrowed or stole a great deal from. Catholics/Christians killed and enslaved these Moors during the Spainish inquisition. The indian helped the Christian pilgrim and the pilgrim killed him. Remember it was & is the so called white supremist Christians who practice(d)systemic racism and discrimination in the US against the natives and blacks. I understand it was a so called Christian america that believed they were justified in the Bible to enslave blacks; that formed the KKK; that instituted Jim Crow laws; sicked dogs and turned on fire hydrants on black students & civil rights workers, the list goes on. After reading some of the posts I can’t help but believe or wonder whether some of you people still agree with the views of the history I’ve just mentioned. I’ll assume Christians today don’t read the same Bible. The majority of crime committed in U.S. is done by people with “Christian” values up bringing, not Muslim, so be a little more critical of self.

Interesting that all who say we should not talk to a country that exports terrorism, like Iran. What are we doing with North Korea? Anybody hear of Khadafi and negotiating with them?

One of Obama’s strengths is that he’s emotionally sensitive. One of Obama’s weaknesses is that he’s emotionally sensitive.
He can give an inspiring speech, but he can also have a thin skin. In this case, it seems that he overreacted out of the mistaken perception that President Bush’s comments were directed at him.
Would this kind of thin skin make him more effective, or less effective, in the role of commander-in-chief?

That’s a good observation. Either this is because of his egomania (he thinks he is already the nominee) or because his consceince is guilty. In any case, Obama presidency ( Hope Not) would be dream come true for Hamas.

Ummmm… someone has to remind Obama about Reagan… how much “talking” and “diplomacy” did he use against Kaddaffi? Remember Obama? Dimplomacy came in the form of an airstrike on the little terrorist leader’s house!

Obama’s 57 states comments, and his comments on how Afganistan needs Arabic translators and we are currently short of those translators and that is the hurdle to success there — how laughable these are? Is this a better pres than Bush?
New evidence is surfacing showing Obama has known Wright’s political positions all along. Yet he tolerated, said nothing, sat in the pew for 20 years. I can’t imagine having him in WH does good to America.

Obama’s reaction is very interesting. He finally admits to the role of Republican Presidents in reigning in an expansive Soviet policy over the decades following World War II:
“Instead of tough talk and no action, we need to do what Kennedy, Nixon and Reagan did and use all elements of American power — including tough, principled, and direct diplomacy – to pressure countries like Iran and Syria.”
The last time he got into a kerfuffle over this appeasement issue, he included Roosevelt and Truman as examples of those who “negotiated” first, and he did not mention either Reagan or Nixon. Obviously, he was trying to make a political issue out of it — suggesting that Democrats are the ones who negotiate.
Apparently, however, someone pulled young Barry aside and whispered to him that neither Franklin Roosevelt nor Harry Truman went begging, hat in hand, to Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, or, later, to the lunatics in North Korea.
And, when both Roosevelt and Truman did negotiate post-war to carve up Europe with our emerging adversary, the Soviet Union (at Teheran and Potsdam), they unfortunately gave away the store, by ceding all of Eastern Europe to Stalin.
We can ill afford to have someone occupying the presidency with little or no knowledge of modern history, and a partisan inclination that is constantly belied by the plain facts.
George Bush is exactly right on this. And Mitt Romney had the best reaction as to who this was aimed at. He said it reminded him of the old line that when you throw a rock over the fence, the dog that yelps loudest, is usually the one that was hit. Barry just got clipped and is really squawking!

Netflix Winds of War for a refresher on how poorly the appeasement approach worked and how Jewish people suffered terribley as a direct result. We must never forget the lessons history teaches us. Funny how Obama automatically assumed the comment was about him. Quite an egocentric type he is.

-82% of Americans think we are on the wrong track
-Bush approval rating at lowest for any President
-Majority of Americans think going into Iraq was mistake
McCain supports Bush domestic and foreign policies…Yeah right, like I am going to vote for McCain!
Vote Obama, the only one in the race who was against a wholesale invasion of Iraq (under false pretenses from Bush)and FOR seriously going after the 9/11 terrorists in Afghanistan, Pakistan and wherever neceesary!!!

If we had Nixon we surely would not be in this mess that Mr. Baffoon has brought upon the American people. Nixon had vision and he understood the merits of diplomacy backed by military strength, not military strength backed by diplomacy. This is the Republican way not the Baffoon idiology of Mr. Bush. Being diplomatic is very different to placating your adversaries. Unfortunately the Republican party today has been hijacked by a vociferous few that continue to mislead our nation down a very bleak path. More Republicans need to stand up and speak their minds than blindly support a fellow Republican that has a brain as thin as a lady’s hymen. I can’t wait until the Baffoon is kicked out of office, he has embarrassed our nation beyond anything I could imagined. Please God get rid of Mr. Bush before he destroys this world.

what an accurate statement. it’s about time Bush said it like it is. Hussein Obama will apease Iran and eventually bow to their wishes. of course that’s what fellow muslims will do.

Why is Bush negotiating with North Korea at the moment if talking to our enemies is sooooo bad? – Geldo
There is a bit of a difference between talking with communist N. Korea and Iran. Kim Jong Il is posturing before his people as they are extremely poor and this is his way of getting more aid. He has a pattern of actions and a need that can be fulfilled. Iran does not.

Don’t get mad a Bush for what he says, he’s just trying to please his bosses at the Knesset.
He’s nothing but a puppet for the neocons. Just pull the strings and he speaks.
What a tool!

After reading many of these responses it’s becoming very clear to me that the American Psychiatric Association needs to have a symposium on “Bush Derangement Syndrome.” Some of these rantings show signs of individuals on the verge of an almost complete mental breakdown. Let’s face it, if your lives are so miserable it’s probably no one else’s fault but your own.

I guess you guys don’t mind if the pilot’s wife is flying the plane you get on instead of the pilot…

Let’s weigh who is appeasing who? We have deliberately failed to catch Bin Laden because, if we do, we would be paying $100 per gallon at the pump and therefore appease us with “Stimulus Package” to graze safely.

I refuse to allow left wingers to ruin the United States. If you hate America, move to Iran.

Someone on this made a good point about Fox News and Obama. I have said the same thing about the Democrats about not doing a debate on Fox News since they were bias. My problem w/ that is that if your avoiding people in your own country to do debates how am I suppose to believe that you’ll talk to any leader in the world. Aren’t they also bias toward the US? Oh well, Americans keep going blind to real issues and Obama is about a Mile Wide and an Inch deep. I feel sorry for all of us because there is no one left that has the best interest in the country or it’s people. It’s becoming the time that the people are to take back whats theres. The biggest form of gov’t in our country is suppose to be the people, then local, then state and last federal. Now it’s in reverse order…doesn’t it look like a communist form of gov’t or very socialistic….we’re screwed if we don’t act.

ANY US OFFICIAL, Military Officer, USSC Judge or party hack, Cheney or below, who said what Bush just said in Israel would be out of job before the wells touched down on US soil. It is time to FIRE this jerk and MOVE ON.

Amy you are an idiot…..When we lose our country to China and other foreigner who are buying america and they turn all of us into a dictatorship we will see who have the last laugh…if you do not wish to vote for Senator Obama, this is fine; but to say things as nasty as I have been reading on this blogs is so sad….Bill Gates do not have enough money for me to run for the president of the united states. Everyone true colors are showing…Racism is still here in american and is growing stronger. Go Obama Go……..

Let’s make the Liberals out here happy. I’m all for passing out big bowls of rainbow stew and plenty of free bubble up coolaid. After they’re doing with the stew and the coolaid, we’ll organize a little sortie where they form a big circle, hold hands and sing kum-ba-yah. While they are having their whine and dine fest, the rest of us can go about be doers and achievers.
Talk is cheap. Action produces results.

Did Bush say anything false? NO.
Did Obama offer to negotiate with terrorists? YES.
Did Obama propose the military invasion of Pakistan? YES.
Did Obama’s foreign policy adviser Samantha Strong propose the military invasion of Israel? YES.
Did Obama condemn Carter’s disastrous meeting with Hamas? NO.
And Pelosi, of course, gave the standard Democrat response: shrill, irrational, psychotic, foam-at-the-mouth screaming hatred.

I think Prince Obama doth protest too much – Negotiation may have it’s place, but Iran makes weekly statements hinting that they want to utterly destroy Israel. Obama is a Bambi in the woods and has no idea what lunatics he would be dealing with if he became President. He is the new Jimmy Carter but without the resume !

“Democrats OBSESSION with Barak Obama” is “DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING”. LETS ALL VOTE FOR AL GORE FOR PRESIDENT, AND REV. WRIGHT FOR V.P.

wow…looks like a lot of you have lost your bearings as well.

When did talking become a crime?
Growing up, we tell our kids to talk out their problems, not to fight and be kind to others.
Yet as we grow into adults, we can’t seem to follow those words. Instead it’s war war war.
If you want a FU((KEN war, go FU((KEN fight it yourself. Bring my Uncle home who is fighting to protect your big fat @sses.
if you support bush and want a war, go FU((KEN fight it yourself.

Voting for Obama,
See, don’t play the extremist game too. “Whoever feels proud to have voted for Bush twice is a traitor to this country and they should be put on trial for treason along with their families.”
Thats just nonsensical absolutism. Bush and his admin sold themselves as something other than they are. A lot of people voted for him because they didn’t like the competition (I didn’t like Kerry).
My sister even voted for him “again” because she thought he made the mess and should fix it. (You broke it you buy it).
Don’t get caught up in the wave of political psychosis. Keep your feet on the ground.
Best,
Bud

Listen to these fools assert that Bush is responsible for a Hurricane and 5.00 gas. Bush has been pushing domestic oil and gas exploration and refinery capacity for years. Decades of liberal intransigence, unable to compromise their environmental extremism so we may have a sound energy policy. These same groups even oppose nuclear energy which is abundant and as clean as they come.

Question for you Ryno,
Just how long a period of time did the US and the UN give Saddam to comply with the resolutions? 14 years I believe? Hardy a shoot first.
And another question for the lefties,
Why is it that you all think you can talk your way out of a problem?

For the superdelegates to end this, and vote against the candidate who:
- has links to organized crime and terrorism;
- is endorsed by both the KKK *and* Hamas;
- has taken a bribe to change a vote;
- voted for Cheney’s Energy Bill (a giveaway to the oil companies);
- praises the never-prosecuted-for treason (Iran-Contra) Reagan for being “accountable”;
- thinks Medicare, Medicaid, the EPA, and the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department are examples of a bloated goverment;
and FOR the only candidate who has been proven to be:
- a real progressive;
- a fighter;
- 100% ethical and honest;
- able to throw punches;
- able to take them;
- the candidate who can actually WIN in the general election.
In other words…
…AGAINST Obama, and FOR Hillary.

‘Me thinks Obama protesteth too much.’ He must identify with what Bush said or else he wouldn’t make such a huge issue out of it.
BTW .. note to Obama. Bush is not running this time, so get off his case!

Methinks Obama doth protest too much.

Don’t underestimate Obama’s power of persuasion. He was able to buy a 1.1 million dollar house for 600,000 dollars. One sit down with Ahmandinejad and Osama and they’ll be eating out of our hands. I can’t wait, I’m so giddy, like a little school girl.

Everything on God’s green earth and throughout the celestial universe is about Obama. He’s our coming Messiah and no one should question him on anything. Since at least half the nation is already bowing down in blind devotion, Obama will be the next President, er I mean, Messiah.

LMAO, you republicans scream WAR, and yet won’t stand up and fight for it……………. My uncle is FU((KEN fighting in your WAR and he’s doing it willingly because he supports this country, not this president.

How some of you frame an argument is baffling. Our President has been our President for 7 years. In 7 years, we have gone from having money to not having money and owing everyone and their mother a ton of money. We have gone into the worst economic crises in many decades, the worst health care system in the world where the wealthy have the best, the middle class (now poor) pay more and more for less. We have gone from being the most admired nation to the most hated one. The rich has gotten more and more rich while the poor and middle class struggle every day. The country is an economic disaster, our poor soldier are asked to do more and more, paying the ultimate price for a war that is insane and has nothing to do with this country’s needs. Meanwhile, some of you thick headed people are more concerned with words spoken by pastor who has absolutely no part of the mess we are in today. And how on earth do you equate Obama’s words with the actions of this administration. Obama is not in charge now, nor has been for the last 7 years. Wake up numbskulls, hold those in charge now, not anyone who is not there yet.

charles sobieski…were you dropped on your head as a baby? Go sit on the retard bench until called or I’ll pull your tongue out of your dumbass and yoyo you to death.

Turn off your t.v. and read the constitution.

Still like Bush? Chances are you have a pickup truck and never graduated college.
It is a fact!

Sometimes I wonder if Im the only one paying attention. I just googled an article which detailed the use of retarded school girls used as explosive devices. I also just read of one of our former Presidents negotiating with known terrorists and Ive also viewed Mr. Hussein Obama openly stating that he intends to DISARM America and talk to Putin about nuclear weapon disarmament. Am I the only one paying attention here? Russian communists dont like blacks and will “humor” them- Hesbolah is laughing at the peanut farmer and you people are sitting here condemning a man who is doing everything to do what’s right and keep us strong. I often wonder why LOSING is priority #1 of liberals?? This entire situation makes me greatful I never had children.

Lord – bless all reading this site today.

Do you feel,” asked an ordinary American, “that you were misled on Iraq?”
“I feel like — I felt like, there were weapons of mass destruction,” the president said. “You know, ‘mislead’ is a strong word, it almost connotes some kind of intentional — I don’t think so, I think there was a — not only our intelligence community, but intelligence communities all across the world shared the same assessment. And so I was disappointed to see how flawed our intelligence was.”

Why is everyone mad at what Bush said? In a CNN debate between Clinton & Obama, Obama clearly said that he would meet with these people like Castro with no preconditions. Hillary said she would meet but with preconditions. Washington was against Carter to go and meet Hamas for peace talking but guess what?…They just attacked Israel, so talking to terrorist without any preconditions is a total danger. Obama clearly has no foreign experience!

Would you talk to someone who has just killed your family?
Why would you talk to someone who wants to destroy an entire nation, just because he does not like them?
Sorry, can not talk to people, who can not get along with other people, just because they are different.

let me get this straight.. bill clinton, al gore, and the greag(?) jimmy carter can make speeches overseas, slamming not only a sitting president, but the united states of america before a foreign audience.. yet president bush cannot defend his policies and speak his mind.
seems one supersensitive whiny presidential candidate (the one with big earrs) gets upset at this expression of freedom of speech. what will he say as sitting president if some terrorists broadcast some insults his way (booh hoo, you cant do that, its not fair!!!) what a national embarassment osama obama is

What an egomanic. Bush’s comments had nothing to do with Obama. Maybe it is Obama’s guily conscience that makes him think it is about him.

McCain’s son is in Iraq right now.
More than I can say about most politicians.
I love George Bush, he says it like it is.
Barak Hussein Obama is WEAK. Google this first term Senator’s voting record in the Senate. It is horrendous.
Most of the time he can’s make up his mind to vote “Yes” or “No” so he just voted “Present”. Hey Barak, “Present” is not a vote. Make up your mind and be decisive.
You people want a President that will sit down and Negotiate with terrorists as Obama has already said he WILL do without preconditions. Is that what you really want?
Read your history books, it has NEVER, EVER works. All it does is embolden the enemy.

Obama has no experience? Before we get into that discussion, let’s talk about George Bush’s experience. Let’s see, a decade of experience sniffing cocaine, and the owner of a failed baseball team. That is quite the foreign policy resume! Give me a break.
Barack Obama has more foreign policy know how in his little finger than Bush does in his whole body. But go ahead all you neo-conservative fools. Vote for INSANE MCAIN. Mr. Flip Flop on Iraq. See where that gets you.

Satsfaction level at the lowest in history (including Carter) , a lame duck (IMO has been for 7+years), rendered totally ineffective in setting world policy by his attitude and there are still those who respect GWB ? Small numbers oviously by the disaproval rating, so we can all look beyond those folks . Diplomacy from a position of power is what is needed, but GWB is trying to undermine even that possibility in his waning days in office . What a great leader, what a great person , what a jerk ! In the absence of Ron Paul, Obama is the only logical choice from the “Gang of Three”.

Truth hurts, right?
The only good thing about Hussein Obama is terrorists may use a nuke against WDC and that will be that.
Most of America will not miss the beltway.

For once, I agree with Bush.

Now California legalizes gay marriage. nothing like far left terrorist appeasers and married gay couples to mobilize the anti-Obama vote

If you people are so disgusted with Bush I want you to send you stimulus check back to help pay for the mortgage crisis…the gas crisis just to help the government a little!! Hamas says “DEATH TO ALL AMERICANS”

This is an example of our failing school system. For some people to buy into this bull crap from Bush.

Why do George Bush and INSANE MCCAIN push policies that harm Israel? Aggression towards Iran will cause the region to erupt in so much violence that Israel would be lucky if they survived out the decade. Why do Bush and INSANE MCCAIN hate Israel so much that they would rather see the region, including Israel, in flames?

George Bush did not bankrupt this country… We the people did it, by
buying things you couldn’t afford, by borrowing money just because
someone said they would lend it to you. Racking up your credit
card knowing darn well the interest would eat you alive…
American’s need to take responsibily for their own foolish mistakes
and put the blame where it belongs and stop expecting everyone
else to bail you out……….. Obama is a fool to think he can negotiate
with our enemy. As they saying goes, keep your enemies close,
You don’t make friends with evil…! You just keep an eye on their

were stupid enough to shake their hand and make nice, “As though

Before electing a DEMOCRAP congress:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
After:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soared to over $3.50 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate
(stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
Remember it’s Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with
what’s handed to him.

A FRIKIN’ AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
It is abundantly obvious that MOST of the posters here have little or NO knowledge of American or World History. They delude themselves with ‘talking point’ political bias further demonstrating an inability to THINK for themselves!
Many actually believe Islam is a peaceful ‘religion’ when in actuality it is a system of government. And a brutal form of government at that. Would you want Pat Robertson or Rev. Wright in charge of America? Maybe the Jehovah Witnesses should cut off people’s heads right there on the front porch if folks don’t read The Watchtower and Awake? A little fear and force works.
And President Bush is blamed for EVERYTHING … $4 gas, a war about oil they say, bring the troops home(put that logic together – LOL).
The President and his oil cronies are also responsible for global warming(algore’s fantasy to get more govt. money?) … why those crazy Bush people even put SUV’s on Mars and the other planets (which are also warming up at the same rate as EARTH). Wonder if those crazy right-wingers also put some cows on Mars etc. … y’know, to lend a bit of farm odor from the bovine flatulence?
NAFTA is bad per Obama and Clinton, but so what, look for their supporters with bumper stickers on their Toyota, Nissan, Volvo cars. HYPOCRITES ALL!
And how about Hurricane Katrina? Pres. Bush got blamed for THAT! While the inept LA Gov. was wringing her hands, the goofball Mayor of New Orleans allowed 3000 school buses to go underwater because he had no drivers. HAH! I learned to drive a 40 foot bus in LESS THAN AN HOUR. All he had to do was point them north, load ‘em up and show the drivers where the brake pedal is located.
And the beat goes on … idiocy prevails!
The more I read some of the hate crap here, the more I see liberals as hypocrites, pessimists, losers and haters of America.
Still, I am proud to have served my country as a U.S. Marine. A lot of fine, patriotic young people have been killed and maimed over the years, just so some of the posters here can age their ignorance. THINK ABOUT THAT!

This whole liberal & conservative mess drives me nuts. Anyone who subscribes fully to one philosphy without a willingness to listen to others is simply a sheep waiting for the slaughter.
Now on to the subject at hand. Both sides are wrong here; point one there is always room for diplomacy and the Bush administration in spite of their faults has done an outstanding job with North Korea an example of forceful diplomacy being successful. On the flipside the Obama’s of the world (as much as I hate the term “liberal” side) seems to believe negotiations are an infinte process and there is never a point where you acknowledge diplomacy has failed and military intervention is necessary. So we are left with two extremes incapable of moderation or negotiation; one aggressors who believe fighting is negotiation and the other utopiast who believe nothing is worth fighting for. Unless people begin unattaching from the teet of Republican and Democrat labels and try independent thought and voting for the best candidate rather than your favorite animal and the lesser of two evils this nation is doomed.
As for President Bush’s comment while I rarely if ever am in agreement with him, he is 100% correct on his statement. Jimmy Carter I imagine was the target of his commnet due to his recent meetings which only emboldened Hamas and triggered another of their attempts to overthrow Lebanon. Historically no one person has done more damage world wide than Jimmy Carter’s blind and idiotic diplomacy. It allowed the Ayatollah to overthrow the Shah of Iran (creating our current problems), allowed Americans in Beiruit to be slaughtered, Americans in Iran to be kidnapped and tortured, Russians to invade Afghanistan (our “covert” efforts trained and armed much of today’s terrorist). The list goes on and on with Carter who is a perfect example of a person who does not know that there is a time to fight and is so egotistical and stubborn in his pacifism that he refuses to acknowledge his negotiations have failed. Israel and “palestine” are in that position, negotiations have failed this is Islamic extremism based on racism and xenophobia no different than Hitler in their desire to terminate Jews. You cannot negotiate with madmen. The idea of a palestenian state is laughable seeing how as there is no such thing as a palestenian merely Egyptian migrants and migrants from other Middle Eastern countries. I do however think Israel must return the lands seized in previous wars, Golan Heights to Lebanon etc. As for the current areas occupied by these fictional “palestenians” they should be incorporated into the nation of Israel as was agreed at Israel’s inception. The fact that Islamofacist are so full of hatred that they are incapable of sharing land with people merely for being Jewish is irrelevant. What is next an Arayan city state in Germany? The best thing the US can do here is take the handcuffs off Israel and say do all that you must to preserve your nation and protect it’s people. Our role would simply be the bouncer to make sure no other nations jumped in the fight. That is the only way this will ever be resolved; attrition followed by rebuilding and eventual mending and assimilation. Anything else is a fool’s errand.

George (Hitler, Stalin) Bush speaks to the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel’s statehood expressing his opinion and comparing the pursuit of dialogue with nations that he does not embrace as being reconciled to that of Nazi Germany and Hitler. George (Hitler, Stalin) Bush, you need to step back and look at your own track record of deception, subversion, invasion and lies over the past eight years. Appears that the “pot is calling the kettle black”, to me.

In Obama’s shiny new world, the arab nations will respect weakness and cowardice. 4 years of pleading and groveling should fix everything.

Posted earlier: “All who believe in 100% diplomacy are like Neville Chamberlain in 1938 who tried to appease Hitler.”
This misapplied comparison should have been put to bed years ago. First of all, nobody, including Obama, believes in 100% diplomacy. He’s said repeatedly that negotiations should be one PART of an armamentarium, and it’s the part that Bush and company have ignored. Bush has consistently set preconditions: You give up that which is to be negotiated, then we will negotiate. That isn’t diplomacy, that’s an ultimatum. Diplomacy is what JFK and Krushchev used to solve the Cuban missile crisis. Let’s see how you and I can settle this without further bloodshed. Second, does any sane person believe that if Chamberlain had not taken that last shot to avoid war, that World War II could have been avoided? The Munich accords were a risk worth taking, and when it failed, the inevitable war followed. Third, comparisons between Germany — a nationalistic, territorial state with a uniformed army and a united population behind it — and our current enemies — lacking overall organization, ridden with internal enmity, blended into the 90 percent who are innocent civilians, united only by their hatred of Western values and the religions of infidels — is more than misguided. It’s like comparing today’s highly paid athletic stars to Roman gladiators. Let’s drop the allusions to Munich because they don’t apply.

Appeasers put your money where you mouth is and go to Iran and talk with the people, let them know you think guns are bad and you are unarmed and just want to talk.
Get that flight and go, no more talking about needing diplomacy and appeasement, just do it!

Of all the Gall! President Bush should be forced to clear all of his speeches with Senator Obama.

Obama: doth protest too much!

Bush is an idiot and anyone who thnks diffrent is any idiot as well.

Honestly, liberals are the biggest crybabies on the face of the planet.
Bush is right – as he has always been.
Get over it losers!
The “change” politics of the radical left will only harm America – this was President Bush’s warning to all Americans that any retreat from fighting terrorism – including “negotiations” – will only serve to advance the cause of the terrorists, and many more innocent civilians will die as a direct result.

Obama = Empty shirt

How is this country going to survive with a leader who opposes God’s teachings but placates international thugs?

Being somewhat a political junkie, and having spoken with friends at length, all are in agreement (even the die-hard)republicans. If Clinton wins the nomination she will win the election. If Obama wins the nomination, none of the people I have spoken with will vote for him.

Hahahaha!! All of you are so freaking doomed! You are so weak! You whine and whine! Soon you will have something to really whine about! Then let us see how your Demon-crats grovel and cow-tow to the rulers of the Middle East all the while they tax and confiscate all your wealth and property!
Your dollar has already lost 93% of it’s original purchasing power since the Federal Reserve Corp. started making fiat paper money out of thin air. Soon it will loose all the rest and you will have hyper-inflation! Your time of feasting will soon be over!
You have done this to yourselves! What weak and gullible people you are!
Hahahaha!

It’s both laughable and sad that American conservative whites need to be lied to everyday. Not just clever lies, but lies a 5 year would find hard to believe. And these narrow-minds repeat them, even when their leader has the worse approval rating for any modern US president in history.
Now I know why my grandfather’s generation called them devils.

As governor of texas, how much foreign policy experience did Bush have?

Eric…put the crack pipe down.

Obama said he would talk to them not that he would roll over and give them what they want. He also will talk to them strongly. People twist and turn words. this is why the usa is used by the politicians. lets get real. talking to Iran might help. nothing wrong with talking. You can stand firm when talking. Talking might lead to a resolution to the problem. Not talking only leads to more wars.

Once agian read the constitution! GOD HAS NOTHIG TO DO WITH OUR GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though I’m no fan of bush, on this, bush is right on the money, and expose obama as being the empty suit that he is.

Why do George Bush and INSANE MCCAIN push policies that harm Israel? Aggression towards Iran will cause the region to erupt in so much violence that Israel would be lucky if they survived out the decade. Why do Bush and INSANE MCCAIN hate Israel so much that they would rather see the region, including Israel, in flames?

Obama wants to be the President and yet he’s afraid of Fox News – what a pus*y.
Amy – can you actually do anything besides cut-n-paste? Perhaps color by the numbers? Or some other touchy feely crap -
All you liberal panty-waste MF’s need stand down and let the grownups fix things the you fu*king Democrats have undermined for the last few decades.
McCain may not be the perfect choice, but at least he won’t be humping the terroists legs hoping they’ll like us.
Go McCain!!!

Congratulations to everybody who found
their new Messiah, senator Obama.
Obama is part of corrupted Illinois
political machine: one governor is sitting in jail while the sitting covernor is under investigation, and is
well on the way to jail.
Obama himself accepted real estate gift
of $300,000 from indited local lobbist.
Now, corrupted and not efficient senator
is going to change the Washington.
For starters, he is goign to kiss iranian mullah, he is going to sit and talk to all enemies and do Jimmy Carter redux. Want to see what happen next?
I do not.

Wow, you can really tell that Drudge linked to this story. So many lemmings coming here to rant!
1) A delusional republican president in 2008 citing a delusional republican senator from 1939 is hardly something of which republicans should be proud.
2) Dialog and discussion is NOT the same thing as negotiation and appeasement. Obama says that you should be willing to talk about differences to see if there are peaceable ways to resolve conflicts. He does not say that he would do anything to the detrement of the US or Israel.
3) The lesson for today is to Stop, listen, think and then act, rather than only listen and act.

I would never believe it if someone told me the Democrats were going to nominate a candidate who makes both Hillary Clinton and GW Bush look good.

Bush is such a fool. He’s like an arsonist who is now trying to impede the fire trucks from getting to the fire that he started.

Eric…I’m serious…for the last time…put the crack pipe down.

A lot of u r stuck on this Islamic thing, I thought that whole thing wasnt even true and even if it is true who cares!? J because ur a muslim dsnt mean ur a terrorist at all actually thats like sayin all germans are nazis which isnt true either. guys stop being so narrowminded and focus on shi*t that actually matters.

Yes America is an evil nation. Just ask Obama’s pals, Rev Wright and Professor Ayers. Where else but in America, can a confessed domestic terrorist become an “esteemed” professor. In Iran, he probably would have been rewarded with exocution.

Does anyone else find it really funny that the democrats automatically think that President Bush is talking about them?

I am a democrat – but I agree with Bush (I never thought I would make that statement)on this one. Ombama does live in a fantasy world where he thinks he can give terrorists a big hug and everything will fine.

Obama better get used to it. He’s playing with the big boys now – Bush is major league and if he starts whining now -just wait till the real campaign gets started. Also, Bush is right, you can’t negotiate with terrorists.

If the shoe fits. Dem appeasers appear uncomfortable. Their best response would be to stop talking with killers and simply agree with Bush. Even he can be right once or twice a day, and he is in this case. And Carter … for chrissakes.

You cannot negotiate with tyrants!
When will the Democratics realize that simple fact? The only way to handle terrorists is to hunt them down and kill them.

Bush must not be able to read or he would have seen that Bill sent him a letter saying al quada is a huge threat and should be stopped.. Oh wait he was in texas burnig brush piles!
So why is BUsh good at security Oh!!! I Know!!! He takes away our freedoms! I know who the reak Hitler is and it’s Gorge Bush! Nothing more than a crusade to make all the right wing crazies happy! Shouldn’t you right wingers be in your jew hating churches?

Carter was waaayyyy worse than Bush! If you were alive then you’d understand that. The Dems wouldn’t even let him speak at their next convention as I remember. It’s been a while, but as I recall if he spoke, they either booed him or shunted off of prime-time or both. Hasn’t Hamas already endorsed Obama, hasn’t he said he’s ready to sit down with Achmadinij……whatever, just like Neville Chamberlain sat down with Hitler? It’s called appeasement folks, we’ll see a lot of it if BHO is elected.

McCain was diagnosed with stage 2A melanoma skin cancer in 2000. Voters should worry about the health of this candidate. Over 1/3 of people with 2A melanoma die within 10 years. We can’t allow a person with such a dire health problem to be President.

I think the current crop of Democrats are overly sensitized to criticism. Bush could have just as easily have been talking about Carter’s recent trip to talk to Hamas. After all, he was just there and Bush’s audience was Isreal, not Iran. Lighten up Obama.

What exactly has Bush’s diplomacy given us? Hamas is more powerful than ever, and is the elected government for the Palestinians. Iran is more powerful than ever, is gaining more and more influence in Iraq amongst Shiite radicals, and is more powerful than before Bush. Iraq is a complete mess, costing thousands and thousands of Americans and costing hundreds of billions we could be using to improve our own economy. The US economy is tanking. Oil is hitting record prices everyday, while Bush does nothing about the problem. Terror attacks worldwide are increasing every year under Bush while we are bogged down in Iraq. Osama Bin Laden is still making tapes mocking America and calling for attacks on America, but Bush won’t go into Pakistan to get him.
How has Bush’s method of running things helped at any level? Why would people still think Bush’s methods were the way to go? You’d have to be a brainwashed zombie to think Bush has the answer to anything.

Rod Miller….perfectly said!! Thank you for serving our country. And thank you for being proud to serve our country! BTW, I drive a Buick!!

A lot of u r stuck on this Islamic thing, I thought that whole thing wasnt even true and even if it is true who cares!?

———————————-
Hannah, you are stunningly ignorant. First, learn to spell and write properly in what I assume is your native tongue. Second, I strongly suggest you learn a little something about Islam.
Muslims consider all non-muslims to be lesser, to be beneath them. They are not required to be honst with them, to deal fairly, or treat them as human.
I know the press has tried to make it look as though Islam vs Christian is a lot like Lutheran vs Catholic, but it’s not.
Educate yourself before you hand over the country to someone who will kill you and your family with no remorse and without a second thought if you fail to convert to their religion.

Concerned: Right now I’m a little more concerned with Obama’s bigotry than I am about McCain’s melanoma from 8 years ago.

That’s why I, and now Repubs too probably, think that this little fella should have been impeached long time ago. He’s liable to do alot of damage in his remaining time.

Afkbrad – You seem to be confusing Bush with Obama; Jew hating churches. But then, you seem to forget that Clinton was offered bin Laden but found him too much bother.

Which one of the “57″ States is Obama in today?

Since Bush figures his big contribution to the troops fighting in the Middle East was to give up golf anything he says should go in one ear and out the other – much like his thinking does.
10 more months – 10 more months and hopefully THIS country will get back on track.

I am so very glad that many that post here are not the President. It is easy to criticize and complain that we have not captured Osama. How about the hero of you Liberals, Bill Clinton? He would not take Bin Laden when he was offered. The Carter and Clinton administrations tried to negotiate with the terrorists, and we all know how effective they were.
Say what you want about President Bush… He and the US Military have kept
us from being attacked since 9/11. I trust that you really would not prefer to fight the war on terror here. For those continue to believe that the terrorists do not want us dead… WAKE UP!

The truth hurts, doesn’t it BHO.

I don’t think McBush will last thru the election probably think he’s in vetnam still and run from charlie right off a roof!

He’s so vain he probably thinks bush’s speech is about him.

RogerFishwife criticized Hannah for her spelling and yet doesn’t seem to know how to spell HONEST. That’s because RogerFishwife is an idiot.

right on Bush. Tell the Dem girly-men the way it is…

Frank — Concerned may be a lying lib, but he’s right about McCain having a serious form of skin cancer. I looked it up. I think that is definitely something to consider. It may not be safe to have a President in office that’s in dire health.

Bush proves once again he’s an idiot. His analogy to 1938 and Nazis shows he’s out of touch. Talking with your enemies is not appeasement. Refusing to talk with them is stupidity. We spent years talking with our enemies (USSR, China, etc..). How many wars were prevented by doing so? No one has ever suggested talking with terrorists but talking to (not giving into) countries deemend to be our enemies is not a weakness.

OK I’m spelling my words. Your comment really changed my way of thinking,You’re right I am very ignorant. I could care less that you think I’m ignorant especially since you clearly are, also that was only part of my comment. I suppose you wouldn’t like me anyways even if I agreed with you because I’m Jewish and you probably think we killed Jesus.

DEE DEE DEE DEE! I LIKE GORGE BUSH!!!!
Don’t hate me cause you worshiop lies and liers!

I like the example of Marcus Licenius Crassus during the war with Parthia (present day Iran). He and his delegation went to negotiate under a flag of truce and were captured and executed. Crassus’ head was sent back to Rome pickeled in a barrel. Strength and power is the only thing radical islamists and terrorists understand, not negotiations.

Barack then went on to whine, “You can’t use my own words and policy statements against me! That’s bigotted!”
Then he looked to his teleprompter for more words to say.

The Lord is dissapointed in the USA because we have turned our back on him and rejected so many of his commands. Now we are entertaining a potential leader who will lead us further away (not that the existing leader is perfect at all) from him. God is not mocked. If we don’t repent we will pay for it…

Brian — I think the health of the President matters a great deal. Voters are electing McCain so that his VP can take over if his cancer returns. Do we want a President in office that’s in dire health? I think the answer for most people is no.

Sounds like Bush hit a nerve with Obamites. Hmmmmmmm.

Do we really want Obama as president of the 50 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA or president of the 57 or 58 that he’s visited. What a great reflection on a potential president and our wonderful democratic-ran educational system

hoogouer…nobody gives a damn about Prescott Bush. Shut the hell up and go sit back down on the retard bench and wait for your name to be called.

You Liberal Democrats “Left Wingers”. It’s OK with you when all of you go out of the USA and BASH Bush and use his name but when a random statement is made that could be any one of you making the statement to talk to IRAN it’s unconceivable that President Bush could utter such words. Most of you shouldn’t have been allowed back in the USA. Like J. Carter a traitor to the USA. If you Liberals can’t handle it get out of the “Kitchen”. President Bush should have said more…
Look UP that’s where all of our answers will come from.

Funny how the left can spew all the bile and venom they want particularly at Bush, but God forbid anyone dare challenge them on their willingness to talk to rogue and radical nations. B.O. said what he said, and America deserves to know what others think of this foolish course of action. Dems are terrified of losing yet again in November, and their rabid and hysterical response to Bush’s comments is proof-postive.

Wow, Bush calls it out for once.
And Barack Obama’s response did nothing but show his own inexperience. I like how he did not refute Bush’s comparison, but just said it was uncalled for/politicking/etc. That’s what most politicians do when they have nothing to say. I’m surprised he didn’t call Bush a bigoted xenophobe.
He can talk about Bush making Iran stronger all he wants, but in reality, he’s the one who wants to sit down and convince them to end their nuclear program. Hmm, sounds a lot like ’39, doesn’t it?

As “W” does his farewell tour, (which by the way, is costing taxpayer dollars.), he is running around making baseless speeches which contribute to the divisivness of this country. Hasn’t he done enough damage to this country. Quite frankly, Bush oes not have the capacity to even write a speech with such great detail. He is only as good as his writers allow him to be.

I think the fact that McCain has a serious form of skin cancer is a game changer. Do we want a President in the White House who’s in dire health? I don’t think most people do.

Who is Bush Jr. to talk? Wasn’t it grandpa Prescot Bush who was Hitler’s top financier operating from a bank in New York, overseeing Hitler’s assets? I think I once read somewhere.

Bill hates McCain because he had skin cancer. Bill is stupid.

McCain DID have cancer — melanoma — the most lethal type of skin cancer you can get. It can metastasize (spread) throughout the body and into organs such as the lung, liver, brain, etc. His lesion was on the side of his face. And as for the crack about Obama being afraid to appear on FOX NOISE, well you must not watch it every Sunday, because indeed Obama was interviewed by Chris Wallace just a couple of weeks ago.

Obama’s job as president will be to protect this country from all enemies–foreign and domestic. And in this response, he’s proved that he can do both at the same time.
Posted by: slag | May 15, 2008 12:37:55 PM
To Slag: Name one ONE, ONE, ONE foreign accomplishment of obama’s. ONE.

The Phenom – No, I think more accurately, Obama is a half-af. But in all seriousness, his race shouldn’t matter. It is his lack of judgment and his far left politics that are important.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT ===============
Why is Bush negotiating with North Korea at the moment if talking to our enemies is sooooo bad?
Is North Korea not supposed to be part of the axis of evil along with Iran & Syria?
Why is Bush negotiating with the Iraqi insurgents? Have they ceased to be terrorists?
Hypocrisy!!!

This reminds me of Margaret Thatcher saying over and over “we will not negotiate with terrorists” and the bombs coming closer and more frequently into London, buses, pizza parlors. Those terrorist irish! kill them all! there will never be peace with them! they are crazy! they are only interested in killing people!!! right??? Then comes along John Major, a young guy like obama, who had other ideas, he sends someone over to talk to the IRA, with…GASP!!! The terrorist Gerry Adams!!! dear God! WE can’t talk to him! He’s an IRA terrorist….fast forward a decade and instead of a decade of war, you had a decade or progression toward peace with two waring sides who have been at war with one another for over 600 years!! if not actually, over a 1000! Sorry right-wingers you and Bush and Thatcher are DEAD WRONG. So funny Bush says that we should turn to history. When you do, you see that dialogue brings peace. Hitler had no reasonable gripes with his neighbors. The middle east has a millions reasonable gripes with us. it’s not mental illness with them, it’s anger and resentment over very real policies. Obama is right. He would make a much better president when it comes to foreign policy and diffusing the anger that turns into terrorism, absolutely. he is our version of John Major and Dear Lord, we could use a John Major right now!

It might be time for a change, but a change away from God’s values will just doom this country more quickly. The only thing we should judge a candidate on is their values….

also, i did have ot chuckle at bush’s refence to Hilter. His family has ties with the Nazi for..what else, money making. So far be it for him to say that the Nazi’s were the bad guys. His family was Nazi sympathizers! hello, pot???? you’re calling the kettle black!

As the great philosopher Han Solo said (to Luke Skywalker referring to Princess Leia in Episode 5):
“Must have hit pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up.”
Har Har!

Who shares my ideals?
Obama? Heck no.
Clinton? Not a chance.
McCain? No different than the other two.
Bob Barr hopefully gets the Libertarian nod because McCain is Hillary or Obama with 4 more years in Iraq. He won’t cut spending and will only increase government’s responsibilities in our lives. I’m voting for my principles. I won’t be a part of this nation’s destruction by falling for ignorance in a horse race.
Do you all not understand that you are fighting over which socialist is better than the next? They are all three one in the same and will bring this country to its knees. Think about who funds government, who draws from it, and how much of it is necessary!

If Obama is elected prez, I believe he will surpass Jimmy Carter as W.P.E. (Worst. President. Ever.) Good Luck, America, you’re gonna need it!!!

Publius- Gate said “US to develope leverage and then talk with”! Obama said he would talk to them with no restriction!!! When you read a statement make sure you know what you are reading!! Obama will not win the GE even if he selects Hillary (she should not go near him under any circumstances) because white america does not need this piece of dog $%^$
in the white House!! He is a no-nothing idiot with baggage that includes anti-americans and hate mongering pastors! Hillary or McCain
that is the choice

Hypocrisy!!!

President Bush was right in what he said. Diplomacy only works when both sides want diplomacy. China wanted diplomacy with Nixon and they gave signs of diplomacy. The USSR under Gorbachev wanted diplomacy. Before they showed signs of diplomacy we were ready to destroy them. Hitler never wanted diplomacy and it was completely transparent what his plans were. The same is true about Iran. THey have their plans and going to carryt them out unless stopped. Talk will not stop them, but rather give them more time.
As for blaming President Bush for the high gas prices etc, that’s rubbish through and through. It has been and will remain a failed environmental policy of the liberals to keep us from drilling our own oil. They have thier heads in the clouds and think that just trying is good enough. It’s not. We will have food shortage now becuase of the ethenol production. This is the liberal baby. It’s not the thought that counts it’s results and blaming President Bush for Democrat failures is absurd at best. Wake up liberal and get your heads out of the clouds. President Bush has let the Democrats in Congress have their way for eight long years and spending is out of control, gas prices are out of control and the Dem congress has done nothing to end the war in Iraq except hog tie the commanders in Iraq and treat them like idiots.
Iran needs to know that we will back up Israel no matter what Iran threatens. President Bush, wether you’ll admit it or not, is a strong leader and knows what he’s talking about. Liberal hatred and passion about him is blinding and misguided. President Bush is winning the war on terror and anyone versed in tactic knows you want to fight in other countries, not yours. He may not be a well spoken person but he speaks the truth about Iran.
How is the Vice President a Nazi by the way? All this name calling…. I think that before we throw insults we should think about what it says about ourselves. Is it true or are we just at a loss of good argument and have result in name calling. Name calling is easy but rarely backed up and usually comes from the left. Just read all of the blogs on this page and you’ll see most of the name calling comes from the very anti President Bush folks. Very interesting.

He never mentioned Obamas name. Why would he take offense to it if he never saod it?! Makes you wonder. Jan 7, 2007. His interview with FOX.

Mike said, “Appeasement or living together never worked in the past” HUH?? Reagan appeased and worked together with the USSR for nearly a decade and brought the Cold War to an end through non-violent strength and diplomacy. Had Reagan chose war there, we’d all be dead. You, and the rest of you neo-conservatives are FOOLS. Your time has come and gone. Never again will your brand of politics be allowed in power in this country.

if we totally ruled out diplomacy then who would be the Nazis, them or us

Obama is an arrogant weeny…why would he think Bush was talking about him? WHy are all the Dems such tools!

For you “clever” people, several Presidents have negotiated with terrorists. Two prominent ones are: Reagan-Iran Contra and Kennedy- Cuban Missile Crisis.
READ A BOOK PEOPLE!

Dignity and office are two words that the anti-Catholic “Catholic” plastic surgery ridden morally bankruptcy hypocrite for the Bay Area should use in any conversation.
Talking did not stop Japan in ’31, Italy in the 30s or Hitler in Munich. Words with might, like RR utilized, moves tyrants. Ms. Pelosi is luckly that GOP in Congress are power hungry cowards willing to “talk” with out making any effort to back action. The live for the scrapes for the socialist left table and approbiation of the dying media.

The platform of the Republican party should be:
*Defend this Nation at any and all costs
*Implement the lind item veto
*Cap tax rates at 20% via a flat tax
*Limit spending to inflation via amendment to Constituion
*Eliminate the birthright for illegal immigrants born on American soil
*Make everyone pay taxes: 20% of income..period! The poor contribute and the wealthy actually will pay “fair” share.
*Limit government to legitimante govt functions as per the preamble to the US Constituion: Providing for of the common defense, protection of civil liberties, and promotion of prosperity: To me this means – Military, courts, and low taxes and small government. If it aint covered in the constitution (i.e. public ed) then it is a states rights issue via the 10th amendment. Keep all spending that way!
Good god!

yes, grandpa bush was in bed with Nazi’s. Very foolish little man Bush is to go to Israel to talk about Hitler, the guy who his family supported. such an odd thing to do. i hope some news agency takes him to task on that.

Dontbesilly: You are woefully misinformed. Barack has the same policies toward HAMAS as McBush has. What he said was that he would never “negotiate out of fear, but he would never be afraid to negotiate.”
Pay attention before you open your pie hole.

READ A BOOK, you need to read a book on the cuban missle crisis, kennedy set up a blocade of russian ships. That is action of our military that called the russians bluff.

I read these comments an realize not every one realizes the motivation of the President of Iran. He believes that he has been chosen to bring about a holocast which will cause the 12th Imam to return. The man is a fanatic. You can not talk an religion fanatic into anything. He calls for the extermination of Israel and the USA. If he gets a A bomb he will use it for the purpose of bringing back the 12th Imam. Don’t all these suicide bombers tell you anything. They think they are going to paradise, So does President Tom.
People are blaming POres Bush for the economy. It was Congress who mandated that the finacial institutions make it easier for low income people to own their own homes. If you remember, the Democrats took over the majority of Congress. That is when things started to get bad. It is unfortunate that there were weak Republicans who went right along with the program.
Peligosi, I call her that because she reminds me of Bela Legosi of vampire movie fame, stated that Pres Bush’s remarks were”below the dignity of the office”. This is from a party leader that thinks that the man who had sex with an intern, molested women and lied before a grand jury is a hero. Duh!
So let us talk with the radical Islamists. There is a verse in the Koran that states it is okay to lie to Jews and infidels if it helps bring about their demise. I paraphrased that. But you get the idea. We talk with them but we won’t be able to believe anything they say. So why expell the CO2? It just contibutes to “global warming”. The only way to win is fight it head on. People say that we should give up and pull out. It is taking too long. Maybe we should abolish some the pro sports teams. When was the last time the Cubs won a World Series? Why do fans keep going to games when their team sucks? Simply because we are Americans and we dont like to give up. We dont like to lose. Every year we keep hoping that things will be better than last year. That is the American spirit. If we had followed the defeatist attitude some Americans have now back in WWII, we would be speaking German or Japanese. Wake up America!! There is a threat to us out there that wants to destroy us. Talking will get us DEAD!!

Obama has been indoctrinated with Black Liberation Theology from the wrong-headed Rev. Wright for over 2 decades. It’s credo is Blacks are superior to Whites and should dominate society. Remember Black Power in the 60′s? Well Mr. O is a modern day, affirmative action educated angry Black man. And his wife is a reincarnation of Angela Davis from the 60′s. I’ll wager that if he gets in, all you wonderful liberals better get ready for paying “reparations” to Blacks in this country.

what is it with far right wingers and WWII. how many more wars have we been in before nad after WWII but everytime they talk of war they reach back to that one war with has nothing to do with anything today. it’s as though they learned that 2 + 2 = 4 and forever more when they see a plus sign they instantly shout “Four! the answer is four!”

Obama is unelectable, the DNC needs to nominate Senator Clinton or we will have another 4 years of Republican corruption. Bush and Cheney have been bleeding the country for 7 years.

Mike,
No “flat tax”.
Go to fair tax dot org.
The current tax system is a boon for control freaks.
Have a good one!

I.b.black- Talk about reading a book once in a while. JFK did not negotiate with terrorists. He gave the USSR an ultimatum which said they must remove their nuclear missiles from Cuba or risk war. He then imposed a naval blockade.

Saw a documentary on WW2 vets talking about how they did not usally take Japanese prisoners, they just shot them. Can you imagine how todays dems and MSM would react to that?

Obviously, many of you have never served your country let alone been beaten to a coma (literally) by the staffs of extremist Islamics and lived to tell about it. Vote McCaine!

jfk gave up some useless bases i Turkey. it was a negotiation. READ! Read about john major while you’re at it, and Thatcher’s ‘we do not negotiate with terrorists’ theory. Who’s worked??? Diplomacy worked. there is peace in ireland today becuase some young guy came after the right wing nut job and opened up dialogue with thousand year old enemies.

Hey, Barrack, baby, If the shoe fits !

dont flatter yourself, dave200, you’re not that bright.

I cannot believe how many people are against Obama… Why? Anything other than G W is better than GW! Reading all comments I must say that this country is very racially divided. Unbelievable… but it is 21st century and not the days of slavery… Wake Up America…

For pete’s sake cut the Muslim references all ready. He’s NOT muslim and you know it. Its all a PATHETIC attempt at instilling fear in American voters. He’s going to win the election. Deal with it. What’s important now is that we keep him to his word. We CANNOT afford to allow 4000 more of our babies die in Iraq. 5 years 500 billion dollars and the mess isn’t getting any better. John McCain wants more of that. And since Hillary couldn’t pull it off, Obama is our best hope. Stop the crap and let’s get behind the guy.

I cannot believe how many people are against Obama… Why? Anything other than G W is better than GW! Reading all comments I must say that this country is very racially divided. Unbelievable… but it is 21st century and not the days of slavery… Wake Up America…

How can Sen. Barack Obama challenge President Bush? Sen. Obama has lot of George Bush in him! Sen. Obama himself made several notable gaffes, just few days ago. They have become a part of his political persona. He said;
“We should send Arab specking interpreters to Afghanistan!”
(Afghans don’t speak Arabic!)
In the same breath he said he made another gaffe about “agricultural experts” These are besides his gaffes about” I’ve been to all 57 states…”
“100 million dies in Myanmar!”
“She was punished with a baby…!”
And just yesterday, he called a news reporter, “Sweetie!”
If elected president Sen. Barack Obama is going to be even worse than George W. Bush!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT ===============
Why is Bush negotiating with North Korea at the moment if talking to our enemies is sooooo bad?
Is North Korea not supposed to be part of the axis of evil along with Iran & Syria?
Why is Bush paying and negotiating with the Iraqi insurgents? Have they ceased to be terrorists?
Hypocrisy!!!

“…we here highly resolve that these honored dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and this government, of the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth” Not if we keep listening to the liberals! We cannot make happy talk with terrorist.

George Bush knows a lot about Nazi Tanks. His Granddaddy Prescott helped the Nazis finance them. If only FDR had thrown the scoundrel in jail instead of just seizing his Bank, how much better the world would be.

Man this guy, Obama is such a WIMP!
No wonder Hamas wants him to be Prez!

It is not an accident that there has not been a terrorist attach in the United States since 9/11. It is because we took the war to them. If we back out they will come back. The terrorists have stated they have one goal in mind – an Islamic world.
In regard to Iran, don’t worry about them. Israel will nuke them when they get close to making a bomb.

We are a Nation of Peace. The should be our goal with every country. It is not easy to talk peace with a gun in your face. I see that the 28% of Bush supporter flocked to this article to comment. I have a question to all of you who think that we are safe here becuse our troops are in Iraq.
How many years was it between the tower bombings? These guys will take their time and strike when they feel the time is right. None of the supposed plots to attack American have panned out to be true. Just like all the reasons for going into Iraq in the first place. It only takes 1 person to cause great loss in this country and you folks are acting like they can’t afford one martor. That is completely ignorant.
Keep living in the fear that Bush has created. So I the other 72% of the country that don’t believe in this crazy presidents policies don’t have this nations best interest at hart.
We are in the worst shape this country has ever been in my life time of 40yrs and it is because of this president and his policies. I guess some people just like it this way.

Obama is so touchy. Too touchy for me to vote for him for President or anything else.

Wow – things are getting loopy here. A black person is accusing the Jews of being bigoted? This is the action that obama stimulates from people. Can you actually believe this? And the obama followers are supposed to be better educated than the Clinton followers? You sure couldn’t prove this by the comments made on this blog. Good heavens – where are these people from and who is giving them their information? This country is so divided by the obama racist driven campaign, that we don’t have to worry about the M.E. terrorist destroying it – the obama radicals are starting to do a great job right here. Why is there no CIA, FBI, Special Agent, etc, etc investigation? This is internal Not External terrorism. Why are we allowing this? The obama followers are loopy.

Obama won’t be able to carry NY now! Jews will NOT go for Obama!
60 birthday of Israel a string message to the Jewish Americans!
Thank U Bush! I agree first time!

People who believe we never talk to radicals do not know history. Period.
Bush himself has made a deal with Muammar Gaddafi of Libya. Bush has made deals with North Korea for them to halt their nuke program. Reagan’s admininstration got our hostages returned from Iran by selling them arms (Iran Contra Affair). Reagan had talks with the Soviets. John McCain met with Vietnamese officials to help normalize our relations with Vietnam. Nixon visited China to help open them to the West. After World War 2, we worked closely with former Nazis in order to stabilize (what later became) Western Germany. Everyone from Reagan, to Clinton, to Bush have met with radical Palestinians. During the Iraq-Iran War in the 90′s, Donald Rumsfeld personally met with Saddam Hussein because we supported Saddam in that war. During the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, we supported the radical Islamists and sent them weapons.
This notion that you can’t ever talk with groups you don’t like is not supported by history.

Throw a stone into a pack of dogs and the only one that howls is the one who is hit.

It blows me away every time to here Reb. talk about how the US would be disaster if Obama were elected. Give me a break! We’ve just went though the WORST 8 years in the history of this country. We are bankrupt, we have created more terrorist then we’ve stopped, we have short changed our democracy, we have neglected our own troops and our citizens. Mr Bush has failed on very poss. level. What Reb. need is a very long time out, in the corner, alone, with out a word being spoken. The citizens of the US and the people of the world have had enough of your B.S.

frank, you know, this statement about ‘taking the war to them’ is just so stupid!!! London got attacked and they are in iraq nad afghanistan! Spain got attacked and they were in iraq and afghanistan. We didn’t get attacked because AQ decided to attack other western countries. that’s it. if htye had their sights on us, they would have gotton us. We cna maybe fend off some attacks but if they are determined they will get us just like thye got spain and britian and ‘being there’ does not stop them from sending 10 guys over to do a mission!

If this country wants to win the war, we have to get a democrat in there. WWI–Wilson (D) win, WWII–Truman (D) win, Korean War–Eisenhower (R) Loss, Vietnam War–Nixon/Ford(R) Loss, Iraq War–Bush (R) losing so far (more money and time spent than in WWII).
It’s clear–if you want to lose a war, vote Republican. If you want to win, vot for a Democrat.

Does anybody find how disgusting Nancy Pelosi is like i do? Yeah, good idea, let’s rip apart our own president for the world to watch every chance we can. that’s seems like it works

“Could some of the smart democrats point out where there have been successes in talking with aggressors to get them to stop without using the threat of military action?”
– Robert Smith
Kennedy Talked to the Soviets during the Cuban Missile crisis. The Soviets backed down.

If you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that gets hit is the one that yells. Listen to who is yelling the loudest.

Any President who negociates with a terrorist state like North Korea should be impeached. Impeach Bush now!

Obama Helped Supporters Get Millions in Illinois State Busines. He is corrupt besides unelectable. Does he plan to sell federal funded projects to his donors for money too? Hillary cLINTON SHOULD RUN AS iNDEPENDENT. Te DNC obviously is throwing the GE with Obama.

Obama is going to Steam Roll into the White House! The earth is shaking for the Neo-Con Repulican fascists. Old man McCain’s knees are shaking so bad he needs Lieberman to help him walk!
! BREAKING NEWS: Nanny Lieberman changes McCain’s diapers. GOP in Crisis! Bush is Bushed by own Party!
West Virginia declared Worst People in the World!
BUSH QUITS GOLF IN SOLIDARITY OF THE TROOPS THAT DIED IN IRAQ – Bush squirrel monkey should lock himself in the basement until Jan,20th,2009 and do humanity a favor.

John McCain: ‘There WILL NOT BE a Second Holocaust under my watch!!!’
Right on, Brother!
I don’t agree with McCain on a lot of things…
But Cutting Government Pork-Barrel Spending, keeping taxes low and a Strong Foreign Policy had me at ‘Hello’

GOP Congress and President?
You Moron Liberals have destroyed everything in 18 Months you IDIOT!
Remember you took control of the Senate and Congress because you wanted change?
It’s change you got MORON!

Obama, Pelosi, and the Defeatocratic Party are repeating history. Neville Chamberlain stated that “We have peace in our time!” A few weeks later Sir Winston Churchill was left to pick up the pieces, while Nazi bombers kicked the crap out of London. Millions of people died needlessly because of jerks like Chamberlain. This time it’ll be with nukes and billions of dead people, killed by jerks like Obama and Pelosi. (I would point out that San Francisco is over-due for a Sodom-like judgment.)

“The Israelis were probably snickering at the fool. Bush sounds ignorant of the fact that Israel was formed out of acts of terror. ”
===============
I’ve been to Palestine and I’ve been to Israel, and I respect the people in both, as well as their respective struggles for creation of a homeland-State.
However, your “facts” are incorrect. Israel was formed out of a UN Plan, and the 1948 War which resulted was initiated by the Arab states:
“The newly-created United Nations approved the UN Partition Plan (United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181) on November 29, 1947, dividing the country into two states, one Arab and one Jewish. Jerusalem was to be designated an international city – a corpus separatum – administered by the UN to avoid conflict over its status.[51] The Jewish community accepted the plan,[52] but the Arab League and Arab Higher Committee rejected it.[53]
Regardless, the State of Israel was proclaimed on May 14, 1948, one day before the expiry of the British Mandate for Palestine.[54] Not long after, five Arab countries – Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq – attacked Israel, launching the 1948 Arab-Israeli War”

Tina Fresno: you would vote for Bush again without thinking. I’m pretty sure “not thinking” is how you spend your life. Bush is the worst president this country has ever had, and hopefully will ever have.

Bush was correct and no amount of whining from the left will change that fact. Obama is an appeaser or worse, a sympathizer.

“As opposed to what Bill Clinton did in the Oval Office?”
I find it disgusting that people in this country that a president getting oral in the oval office is a bigger problem than a president lying and getting 4000 AMERICAN soldiers killed in Iraq.
I think we should send all the warmongers over there and see how they like fighting, because it sure is easy for them to sound tough behind a computer screen.

Barack also said he would go to war with Iran if the talks don’t work and if he has credible information.

Obama feeling a little guilty about his
comments. You revolve around the Sun not
the other way around.

Obama feeling a little guilty about his

You guys have to be joking me. Obama rill ruin this country, divide us between races like his minister and let all the terrorists run amuck…
Go Clinton!!!

The Three Stooges in the White House want to BOMB,BOMB,BOMB the world into a giant parking lot so Americans can go there and GO SHOPPING. This of course after Haliburton and Blackberry makes a KILLING from Killing
and Torturing women and children who just happen to be Muslim. I think Haliburton will torture and kill their own families for profit. Like Rat Lice! McCain loves Haliburton!

The Japanese were in the white house waiting for a diplomacy meeting when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and killed many people!! So much for conversation!

Maybe some of you need to listen to what Obama really says. Listen to him … his idols where Malcom X and the Very Reverand Wright. Opps he had to dump Wright for a little bit. In his words he talks of Malcom X wanting all the white blood out of his body and good old Obama agrees. Obama is a Marxist. We are losing all our freedoms to these nuts on the far left, known as Democrats. And maybe the guy of “knowledge” on Bush’s grandfather might like to know that during world war 2, nothing top secret could go thru the American Embassy be cause good old Joe Kennedy was a great admirer of Hitler. Isn’t that Teddy Kennedy’s pappy.

I don’t know why Bush’s incompetence always amazes me — isn’t there something about the president not airing dirty laundry while traveling in the name of the United States of America??
Is this Rove’s attempt to divert everyone from talking about Mississippi and the inept Republican party

President Bush has fielded the best protected Military force ever assembled in the history of mankind and held terror attacks against our Nation in check since he made his speech to Congress after 9/11.
Call it what you want, but this is a demonstration of true leadership.
As a retired member of the World’s best military, I will tell you that we did not have the same confidence in our leaders during the Carter or Clinton administrations.
If you were to take issue with my first statement, just check the facts. Members of the military today have a better chance of being killed or injured outside of the War Zones, than they do inside the battle areas.

Folks: Obama says Roosevelt and Truman negotiated with and talked with our enemies when he faced Blitzer last week, proving it would be prudent to talk with Iran. But Roosevelt never negotiated with Hitler, Tojo or Mussolini–he demanded unconditional surrender.Truman did not negotiate with North Korea–he landed on Inchon and saved South Korea.Obama will get us killed because our adversaries will believe they can push him around.

WOW! We don’t want a black man that is wanting to talk to Dictators. I love this country I grew up in but why is everything always racist. The color of a persons skin can’t tell you what a person is like. Example: Bush has changed the world to where people are wondering how to feed there kids as well as how to get to work with the gas prices, according to some this is not his fault ( why is he still borrowing money). Clinton was a womenizer in the white house. I guarantee noone saw that coming. Grow up people, racism is not becoming of real Americans and to all those fake ones who still think that bringing up race will stop the future from changing for the better, we appreciate it because it only helps us to fight that much harder and to become stronger.
VOTE
BETTER AMERICA 2008
Don’t expect the worst because of the color of a persons skin, I grew up thinking that about white people, but guess what I GREW UP.

I’ll vote for Jesus, but never for Barack Hussein Obama..Just his middle name should evoke fear in us…

i cannot imagine that a bright man like Obama would not involve other bright men and woman to his circle of leadership. Any american thinking that he’s an idiot or that he is soft of the defense of America is completely wrong. Obama is an intellectual tactician. He is a chess player, where Bush is a checkers player. Obama is a multifaceted individual with great periferal vision, enough to sit down with the tough guys of the world and discuss politics.
“keep you friends close, but keep your enemies closer.” — words from the great Michael Corleone.

Yes Obama is a bit egotistical to think it is he that Bush is talking about, even if Bush was I don’t have confidence in Obama and how he thinks terrorists and despots should be dealt with. Pelosi is arrogant enough to be telling McCain how he should be thinking, perhaps she needs to stop taking herself so seriously. What does that broad doing holding a weekly press conference, how about doing legislative work, like you get paid for you silly cow. Though sadly she probably does her job about as much as the other congressmen.

If this country wants to win the war, we have to get a democrat in there. WWI–Wilson (D) win, WWII–Truman (D) win, Korean War–Eisenhower (R) Loss, Vietnam War–Nixon/Ford(R) Loss, Iraq War–Bush (R) losing so far (more money and time spent than in WWII).
It’s clear–if you want to lose a war, vote Republican. If you want to win, vot for a Democrat.

Steve said, “The Democratics are simply terrorist sympathizers. It’s about time Bush stood up to these haters of America. Now the RNC just needs to jump on board with a back bone.”
Steve. You’re an idiot. Go back to sleep.

Our soldiers take an oath to defend this country from all enemies foreign and domestic. It’s time to take out the domestic liberal enemies of america.

I guess the Democrats are upset that President Bush is referring to HAMAS, IRANIAN FASCISTS and HEZBOLLAH as “Terrorists and Radicals”. Same Democrats don’t seem upset when Liberals refer to other Americans as “Rednecks” when they don’t agree with their Leftist ideology.

lavampire–I respectfully disagree with your labeling Bush as a checkers player.
Checkers requires too much strategic thought. Bush is more of a Rock Paper Scissors kind of guy.

If this country wants to win the war, we have to get a democrat in there. WWI–Wilson (D) win, WWII–Truman (D) win, Korean War–Eisenhower (R) Loss, Vietnam War–Nixon/Ford(R) Loss, Iraq War–Bush (R) losing so far (more money and time spent than in WWII).
It’s clear–if you want to lose a war, vote Republican. If you want to win, vot for a Democrat.
I agree. Americans have been brainwashed into thinking the Repubiicans are tough. They just want to make profits on selling weapons—if they win the war then the profits will end. Democrats believe in winning wars because we’ve been wronged. If I can add–Vote Republican if you are for war profits, Vote Democrat if you want to win the war.

A Barack Obama presidency will lead to destruction of America as we know it. Although that is probably fine with those of his supporters who are socialists and communists, many mindless people who have been duped by his inane speeches will live to regret supporting him in the unlikely event he prevails. The man is qualified to be a news anchor or a game show host, but not President of the United States. He is the classic empty suit.

I absolutely love how the Libs all pin every one of their woes, and those of the world, on GWB. Easier to do so, I suppose, than to take responsibility and control of your own life…but then why do that when you can vote Dem and have your government make all your choices for you…pathetic group of soulless ingrates who are too blind to see the necessities that are being addressed by this administration (still mopping up the messes Slick Willy left behind, both figuratively and literally).
Perhaps all you Libs should have glass navels surgically installed so when your heads go any further up your azzes you can still see what’s going on in the world.

The Republican Neo-Cons love Torture, Torture, Torture. With four years of McCain will be the worst TORTURE! This country ever had!

I sincerely hope Israel destroys Iranian military infrastructure and their nuclear facilities, for the sake of the world if not for the sake of Israel. Obama is a fool. Yes, the Iraq war was a mistake, but that doesn’t mean Israel should not prevent their inhalation or that the U.S. shouldn’t assist them. If Israel is destroyed, we are next my friends.

You people are the most stupid people I have ever seen. All you do is bash Obama for things that don’t mount to a heel of beans. Get a life and look at what you are saying, it is nothing but the hate embedded in your hearts. I will be sure to inclide you in my prayers! God forgive you all!

What’s with these stupid comments, America is bankrupt,, the only reason America will have problems is because of entitlements, like Social Security and Medicare, and if the country is so bankrupt as democrats like to say (so they can win more power) and make America a bad imitation of France( who are actually going bankrupt and poorer) was is it the solutions that democrats are coming up with is more entitlements and more spending programs. The media and the democrats have done a number on the America people , under Bush at 5.1% the employment rate has been better in his 7 1/2 years then under Clinton at 5.2% and Clinton only had a great economy because of the technical revolution which had nothing to do with him, that’s like saying that a President was responsible for the industrial revolution. And look at the things Bush inherited from Clinton, the 2000 dot.com bust, Bin Laden and 911, the 2001 market crash, by the time Bush came into office China, Russia were power houses economically because of all the trade deals and the WTO that Clinton put into effect in the 90′s, and Bush didn’t shrink his duties like Clinton he made the terrorists understand if they wanted to kill Americans, Americans would kill 10 of them for every American they killed and made sure it was fought every part of the world that they had found sanctuary, from Somalia, to Afghanistan, to Iraq and after 4 years of democrats convincing Americans that Bush is the problem and not the brutal killers of Iran and Al Qeada, Hammas, they are forcing him and ultimately Americans to fight with one hand behind their back, that’s why Iran is so confidante, not because of Iraq but because they know that democrats are wimps who will appease and appease until it’s to late for America to do anything, and democrats have found the best spokesman in Obama to accomplish this.

Barack Hussein Obama is a spinless, wimpy, wussy of a weenie. That’s why he will lose 40 states this November.

billy bob,
When has a Republican ever won a war? Don’t even say Persian Gulf—Bush I was too scared to take out that S.O.B. when he got the chance. This Bush probably couldn’t beat Canada’s Mounties. He’s a cheerleader, not a player.

Since when does the American
Middle Class have to be caught
between the Neo-Con Israel
supporters on one side and the
Leftist Jews on the other?
I have no problem with the
the American Jewish community
supporting Israel as much as THEY
want to, but don’t make
me support Israel through my
taxes! This is a prima facie
violation of the separation of
Church and State.

Barack Obama is a sore loser with identity crisis due to his background, and because of that he is co-dependent and affiliates with people such as Pastor Wright, Hugo Chavez, William Ayres, Ferracan, and a long etc. Those guys helped him to built his career in politics, where nothing is for free. He owns them . Sadly, the only way to verify if he wants to damage this country when he changes it (is there a thing about America that he likes the way it is ?), is to send him into the White House. Too risky in my opinion, now that we are in the middle of two wars.
On the other hand, there is Senator from New York Hillary Clinton, who had been directly affected by 9/11. It means, she knows: terrorists really want to destroy America, there are nothing good we can obtain by having a nice conversation with them.
While Obama and Hillary internal policies are quite similar, their foreign vision are so different that I will vote McCain if Obama is the candidate.

The South Vietnamese lost their fight with the communists when the DEMOCRAT Congress withdrew further military and financial aid that we had promised them.

Remember Jimmy Carter’s negotiations with IRAN, How wonderfully THEY worked?????? Yes, we have our next Jimmy Carter (OBAMA) to negotiate with IRAN again!!!!
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE FOLKS!!!!!!!

It is almost humourous to think that Bush is trying to spin Obama as some weak-spined liberal who would roll over for terrorists, and especially funny that he invoked Hitler’s name in that speech…let’s look at the track record:
No other president in history has molded our inalienable constitutional rights into something more like what Nazi Germany had during the Third Reich. He has attacked every one of the ten Bill of Rights and taken YOUR rights away.
Bush’s father, ex head of the CIA, was instrumental in forming the Muhajadeen, who became Al-Quaida…repeat…Bush Sr. helped form al-quaida!
Bush’s grandfather, Prescott Bush, ran an investment firm during WWII called “Brown Brothers Harriman” that were key FINANCIERS of NAZI GERMANY and HITLER! repeat…Prescott Bush invested and financed NAZI GERMANY! I wish more people would open their eyes and see how the rich and powerful control the media so we don’t even hear about this stuff. This is FACT. Not conspiracy theory…fact. Bush and his friends who run the banks of this world want to take complete control over you, your property, everyone you love, spy on you, analyze every move you make, and do it all for the name of protecting you from “terrorists”. BUSH, ROTHSCHILD, ROCKEFELLER families are the “TERRORISTS”! They are the ones with the most to gain out of this “war on terror”. WAKE UP! RESEARCH IT YOURSELF! READ! AWAKEN! IT’S NOT UP TO OTHER PEOPLE TO SOLVE THIS BIG, BIG PROBLEM…IT’S UP TO YOU AND US!

“If this country wants to win the war, we have to get a democrat in there. WWI–Wilson (D) win, WWII–Truman (D) win, Korean War–Eisenhower (R) Loss, Vietnam War–Nixon/Ford(R) Loss, Iraq War–Bush (R) losing so far (more money and time spent than in WWII).”
Not so fast. Korean War = tie, Iraq War = Win, with lots of cleanup to deal with. We defeated Saddam’s military forces decisively back in 2003. Wasn’t even close
“It’s clear–if you want to lose a war, vote Republican. If you want to win, vot for a Democrat.”
If Roosevelt, Chamberlin,and other world leaders had confronted Hitler before he invaded Poland, say 1937 or 1938, WWII might never have happened. Instead, they tried appeasement, and millions died for their lack of judgement.
“I agree. Americans have been brainwashed into thinking the Repubiicans are tough. They just want to make profits on selling weapons—if they win the war then the profits will end. Democrats believe in winning wars because we’ve been wronged. If I can add–Vote Republican if you are for war profits, Vote Democrat if you want to win the war.”
Now, this is where you’re just plain WRONG! If we thought Republicans were tough, they never would have lost their majority positions in Congress. Showing a jelly spine to Democrats is what led to Republican defeats, not showing strength. Repubs win when they show strength and backbone.

BUSH STOP THE TORTURE! NOW!

Why would a man with the middle name ‘Hussein’ not want to first talk with Islamic extremists….. wake up America.

Nobody cares what you think, Mr. Obama. Mr. Bush is the President and low as they are, his approval ratings are higher than these of the United States Congress.

TR Bush1 won the gulf war and did exactly what he set out to. Bush2 is winning the Iraq war and will do so unless the wimpy Dems have their way and pull out.

A bush would never deal with the enemy…..like say, Prescott Bush..
nooooo

Come! Let’s Change the Wor(l)d Together!
The Truth about the Talmud
Let’s remove blasphemy against Jesus and Mary
and hatred for Gentiles* (Non-Jews) from the Talmud
*the rest of humanity
A Documented Exposé of Supremacist Rabbinic Hate Literature
By Warrant of John 18:37, Galatians 4:16
Copyright ©2000-2006 by Michael A. Hoffman II All Rights Reserved
Introduction
The Talmud is Judaism’s holiest book (actually a collection of books). Its authority takes precedence over the Old Testament in Judaism. Evidence of this may be found in the Talmud itself, Erubin 21b (Soncino edition): “My son, be more careful in the observance of the words of the Scribes than in the words of the Torah (Old Testament).”
The Talmud Nullifies the Bible
The Jewish Scribes claim the Talmud is partly a collection of traditions Moses gave them in oral form. These had not yet been written down in Jesus’ time. Christ condemned the traditions of the Mishnah (early Talmud) and those who taught it (Scribes and Pharisees), because the Talmud nullifies the teachings of the Holy Bible.
Insults Against Blessed Mary
Sanhedrin 106a . Says Jesus’ mother was a whore: “She who was the descendant of princes and governors played the harlot with carpenters.” Also in footnote #2 to Shabbath 104b of the Soncino edition, it is stated that in the “uncensored” text of the Talmud it is written that Jesus mother, “Miriam the hairdresser,” had sex with many men.
Gloats over Christ Dying Young
A passage from Sanhedrin 106 gloats over the early age at which Jesus died: “Hast thou heard how old Balaam (Jesus) was?–He replied: It is not actually stated but since it is written, Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days it follows that he was thirty-three or thirty-four years old.”
Jesus in the Talmud:
Horrible Blasphemies Against Jesus Christ
While it is the standard disinformation practice of apologists for the Talmud to deny that it contains any scurrilous references to Jesus Christ, certain Orthodox Jewish organizations are more forthcoming and admit that the Talmud not only mentions Jesus but disparages him (as a sorcerer and a demented sex freak). These orthodox Jewish organizations make this admission perhaps out of the belief that Jewish supremacy is so well-established in the modern world that they need not concern themselves with adverse reactions.
For example, on the website of the Orthodox Jewish Hasidic Lubavitch group–one of the largest in the world–we find the following statement, complete with Talmudic citations:
“The Talmud (Babylonian edition) records other sins of ‘Jesus the Nazarene’:
1) He and his disciples practiced sorcery and black magic, led Jews astray into idolatry, and were sponsored by foreign, gentile powers for the purpose of subverting Jewish worship (Sanhedrin 43a).
2) He was sexually immoral, worshipped statues of stone (a brick is mentioned), was cut off from the Jewish people for his wickedness, and refused to repent (Sanhedrin 107b; Sotah 47a).
3) He learned witchcraft in Egypt and, to perform miracles, used procedures that involved cutting his flesh, which is also explicitly banned in the Bible (Shabbos 104b).
End quote from http://www.noahide.com/yeshu.htm (Lubavitch website) June 20, 2000.
[Note: we have printed and preserved in our files a hard copy of this statement from the Lubavitch"Noah's Covenant Website," as it appeared on their website at http://www.noahide.com on June 20, 2000, in the event that denials are later issued and the statement itself suppressed].
Let us examine further some of these anti-Christ Talmud passages:
Gittin 57a. Says Jesus is in hell, being boiled in “hot excrement.”
Sanhedrin 43a. Says Jesus (“Yeshu” and in Soncino footnote #6, Yeshu “the Nazarene”) was executed because he practiced sorcery: “It is taught that on the eve of Passover Jesus was hung, and forty days before this the proclamation was made: Jesus is to be stoned to death because he has practiced sorcery and has lured the people to idolatry…He was an enticer and of such thou shalt not pity or condone.”
Kallah 51a.”The elders were once sitting in the gate when two young lads passed by; one covered his head and the other uncovered his head. Of him who uncovered his head Rabbi Eliezer remarked that he is a bastard. Rabbi Joshua remarked that he is the son of a niddah (a child conceived during a woman’s menstrual period). Rabbi Akiba said that he is both a bastard and a son of a niddah.
“They said, ‘What induced you to contradict the opinion of your colleagues?’ He replied, “I will prove it concerning him.” He went to the lad’s mother and found her sitting in the market selling beans.
“He said to her, ‘My daughter, if you will answer the question I will put to you, I will bring you to the world to come.’ (eternal life). She said to him, ‘Swear it to me.’
“Rabbi Akiba, taking the oath with his lips but annulling it in his heart, said to her, ‘What is the status of your son?’ She replied, ‘When I entered the bridal chamber I was niddah (menstruating) and my husband kept away from me; but my best man had intercourse with me and this son was born to me.’ Consequently the child was both a bastard and the son of a niddah.
“It was declared, ‘..Blessed be the God of Israel Who Revealed His Secret to Rabbi Akiba…”
In addition to the theme that God rewards clever liars, the preceding Talmud discussion is actually about Jesus Christ (the bastard boy who “uncovered his head” and was conceived in the filth of menstruation). The boy’s adulterous mother in this Talmud story is the mother of Christ, Blessed Mary (called Miriam and sometimes, Miriam the hairdresser, in the Talmud).
“The Editio Princeps of the complete Code of Talmudic Law, Maimonides’ Mishneh Torah — replete not only with the most offensive precepts against all Gentiles but also with explicit attacks on Christianity and on Jesus (after whose name the author adds piously, ‘May the name of the wicked perish’)… –Dr. Israel Shahak, Jewish History, Jewish Religion, p. 21.
“The Talmud contains a few explicit references to Jesus…These references are certainly not complimentary…There seems little doubt that the account of the execution of Jesus on the eve of Passover does refer to the Christian Jesus…The passage in which Jesus’ punishment in hell is described also seems to refer to the Christian Jesus. It is a piece of anti-Christian polemic dating from the post-70 CE period…” –Hyam Maccoby, Judaism on Trial, pp. 26-27.
“According to the Talmud, Jesus was executed by a proper rabbinical court for idolatry, inciting other Jews to idolatry, and contempt of rabbinical authority. All classical Jewish sources which mention his execution are quite happy to take responsibility for it; in the talmudic account the Romans are not even mentioned.
“The more popular accounts–which were nevertheless taken quite seriously–such as the notorious Toldot Yeshu are even worse, for in addition to the above crimes they accuse him of witchcraft. The very name ‘Jesus’ was for Jews a symbol of all that is abominable and this popular tradition still persists…
“The Hebrew form of the name Jesus–Yeshu–was interpreted as an acronym for the curse, ‘may his name and memory be wiped out,’ which is used as an extreme form of abuse. In fact, anti-zionist Orthodox Jews (such as Neturey Qarta) sometimes refer to Herzl as ‘Herzl Jesus’ and I have found in religious zionist writings expressions such as “Nasser Jesus” and more recently ‘Arafat Jesus.” –Dr. Israel Shahak, Jewish History, Jewish Religion, pp. 97- 98, 118.
Talmud Attacks Christians and Christian Books
Rosh Hashanah 17a. Christians (minnim) and others who reject the Talmud will go to hell and be punished there for all generations.
Sanhedrin 90a. Those who read the New Testament (“uncanonical books”) will have no portion in the world to come.
Shabbath 116a. Jews must destroy the books of the Christians, i.e. the New Testament.
Dr. Israel Shahak of Hebrew University reports that the Israelis burned hundreds of New Testament Bibles in occupied Palestine on March 23, 1980 (cf. Jewish History, Jewish Religion, p. 21).
Some Teachings of the Jewish Talmud
Where a Jew Should Do Evil

Penalty for Disobeying Rabbis
Erubin 21b. Whosoever disobeys the rabbis deserves death and will be punished by being boiled in hot excrement in hell.

Jews May Rob and Kill Non-Jews
Sanhedrin 57a . When a Jew murders a gentile (“Cuthean”), there will be no death penalty. What a Jew steals from a gentile he may keep.

Abodah Zarah 17a. States that there is not a whore in the world that the Talmudic sage Rabbi Eleazar has not had sex with. On one of his whorehouse romps, Rabbi Eleazar leanred that there was one particular prostitute residing in a whorehouse near the sea, who would receive a bag of money for her services. He took a bag of money and went to her, crossing seven rivers to do so. During their intercourse the prostitute farted. After this the whore told Rabbi Eleazar: “Just as this gas will never return to my anus, Rabbi Eleazar will never get to heaven.”
Hagigah 27a. States that no rabbi can ever go to hell.
Baba Mezia 59b. A rabbi debates God and defeats Him. God admits the rabbi won the debate.

Tall Tales of a Roman Holocaust
Here are two early “Holocaust” tales from the Talmud: Gittin 57b. Claims that four billion Jews were killed by the Romans in the city of Bethar. Gittin 58a claims that 16 million Jewish children were wrapped in scrolls and burned alive by the Romans. (Ancient demography indicates that there were not 16 million Jews in the entire world at that time, much less 16 million Jewish children or four billion Jews).
A Revealing Admission
Abodah Zarah 70a. The question was asked of the rabbi whether wine stolen in Pumbeditha might be used or if it was defiled, due to the fact that the thieves might have been gentiles (a gentile touching wine would make the wine unclean). The rabbi says not to worry, that the wine is permissible for Jewish use because the majority of the thieves in Pumbeditha, the place where the wine was stolen, are Jews. (Also cf. Gemara Rosh Hashanah 25b).
Pharisaic Rituals
Erubin 21b. “Rabbi Akiba said to him, “Give me some water to wash my hands.”
“It will not suffice for drinking,” the other complained, “will it suffice for washing your hands?”
“What can I do?’ the former replied, “when for neglecting the words of the Rabbis one deserves death? It is better that I myself should die than that I transgress against the opinion of my colleagues.” [This is the ritual hand washing condemned by Jesus in Matthew 15: 1-9].
Genocide Advocated by the Talmud
Minor Tractates. Soferim 15, Rule 10. This is the saying of Rabbi Simon ben Yohai: Tob shebe goyyim harog (“Even the best of the gentiles should all be killed”).
This passage is from the original Hebrew of the Babylonian Talmud as quoted by the 1907 Jewish Encyclopedia, published by Funk and Wagnalls and compiled by Isidore Singer, under the entry, “Gentile,” (p. 617).
This original Talmud passage has been concealed in translation. The Jewish Encyclopedia states that, “…in the various versions the reading has been altered, ‘The best among the Egyptians’ being generally substituted.” In the Soncino version: “the best of the heathens” (Minor Tractates, Soferim 41a-b].
Israelis annually take part in a national pilgrimage to the grave of Simon ben Yohai, to honor this rabbi who advocated the extermination of non-Jews. (Jewish Press, June 9, 1989, p. 56B).
On Purim, Feb. 25, 1994, Israeli army officer Baruch Goldstein, an orthodox Jew from Brooklyn, massacred 40 Palestinian civilians, including children, while they knelt in prayer in a mosque. Goldstein was a disciple of the late Brooklyn Rabbi Meir Kahane, who told CBS News that his teaching that Arabs are “dogs” is derived “from the Talmud.” (CBS 60 Minutes, “Kahane”).
University of Jerusalem Prof. Ehud Sprinzak described Kahane and Goldstein’s philosophy: “They believe it’s God’s will that they commit violence against goyim, a Hebrew term for non-Jews.” (NY Daily News, Feb. 26, 1994, p. 5).
Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg declared, “We have to recognize that Jewish blood and the blood of a goy are not the same thing.” (NY Times, June 6, 1989, p.5).
Rabbi Yaacov Perrin said, “One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail.” (NY Daily News, Feb. 28, 1994, p.6).
Talmudic Doctrine: Non-Jews are not Human
The Talmud specifically defines all who are not Jews as non-human animals, and specifically dehumanizes Gentiles as not being descendants of Adam. Here are some of the Talmud passages which relate to this topic.
Kerithoth 6b: Uses of Oil of Anointing. “Our Rabbis have taught: He who pours the oil of anointing over cattle or vessels is not guilty; if over gentiles (goyim) or the dead, he is not guilty. The law relating to cattle and vessels is right, for it is written: “Upon the flesh of man (Adam), shall it not be poured (Exodus 30:32]); and cattle and vessels are not man (Adam).
“Also with regard to the dead, [it is plausible] that he is exempt, since after death one is called corpse and not a man (Adam). But why is one exempt in the case of gentiles (goyim); are they not in the category of man (Adam)? No, it is written: ‘And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are man” (Adam); [Ezekiel 34:31]: Ye are called man (Adam) but gentiles (goyim) are not called man (Adam).”
In the preceding passage, the rabbis are discussing the portion of the Mosaic law which forbids applying the holy oil to men.
The Talmud states that it is not a sin to apply the holy oil to Gentiles, because Gentiles are not human beings (i.e. are not of Adam).
Another example from tractate Yebamoth 61a: “It was taught: And so did R. Simeon ben Yohai state (61a) that the graves of gentiles (goyim) do not impart levitical uncleanness by an ohel [standing or bending over a grave], for it is said, ‘And ye my sheep the sheep of my pasture, are men (Adam), [Ezekiel 34:31]; you are called men (Adam) but the idolaters are not called men (Adam).”
The Old Testament Mosaic law states that touching a human corpse or the grave of a human imparts uncleanness to those who touch it. But the Talmud teaches that if a Jew touches the grave of a Gentile, the Jew is not rendered unclean, since Gentiles are not human (not of Adam).
From Baba Mezia 114b: “”A Jewish priest was standing in a graveyard. When asked why he was standing there in apparent violation of the Mosaic law, he replied that it was permissible, since the law only prohibits Jews from coming into contact with the graves of humans (Adamites), and he was standing in a gentile graveyard. For it has been taught by Rabbi Simon ben Yohai: ‘The graves of gentiles [goyim] do not defile. For it is written, ‘And ye my flock, the flock of my pastures, are men (Adam)’ (Ezekiel 34:31); only ye are designated men (Adam).”
Ezekiel 34:31 is the alleged Biblical proof text repeatedly cited in the preceding three Talmud passages. But Ezekiel 34:31 does not in fact support the Talmudic notion that only Israelites are human. What these rabbinical, anti-Gentile racists and ideologues have done in asserting the preceding absurdities about Gentiles is distort an Old Testament passage in order to justify their bigotry.
In Berakoth 58a the Talmud uses Ezekiel 23:20 as proof of the sub-human status of gentiles. It also teaches that anyone (even a Jewish man) who reveals this Talmudic teaching about non-Jews deserves death, since revealing it makes Gentiles wrathful and causes the repression of Judaism.
The Talmudic citation of this scripture from Ezekiel as a “proof-text” is specious, since the passage does not prove that Gentiles are animals. The passage from Ezekiel only says that some Egyptians had large genital organs and copious emissions. This does not in any way prove or even connote that the Egyptians being referred to in the Bible were considered animals. Once again, the Talmud has falsified the Bible by means of distorted interpretation.
Other Talmud passages which expound on Ezekiel 23:20 in this racist fashion are: Arakin 19b, Berakoth 25b, Niddah 45a, Shabbath 150a, Yebamoth 98a. Moreover, the original text of Sanhedrin 37a applies God’s approval only to the saving of Jewish lives (cf. the Hesronot Ha-shas, Cracow, 1894).
Moses Maimonides: Advocate of Extermination
We will now examine the post-Talmudic commentator Rambam (Moses Maimonides). This revered “sage” taught that Christians should be exterminated. He has the highest stature in Judaism:
“Moses Maimonides is considered the greatest codifier and philosopher in Jewish history. He is often affectionately referred to as the Rambam, after the initials of his name and title, Rabenu Moshe Ben Maimon, “Our Rabbi, Moses son of Maimon.” [Maimonides' Principles, edited by Aryeh Kaplan, Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America,, p. 3].
Here is what Maimonides (Rambam) taught concerning saving people’s lives, especially concerning saving the lives of gentiles and Christians, or even Jews who dared to deny the “divine inspiration” of the Talmud:
Maimonides, Mishnah Torah, (Moznaim Publishing Corporation, Brooklyn, New York, 1990, Chapter 10, English Translation), p. 184: “Accordingly, if we see an idolater (gentile) being swept away or drowning in the river, we should not help him. If we see that his life is in danger, we should not save him.” The Hebrew text of the Feldheim 1981 edition of Mishnah Torah states this as well.
Immediately after Maimonides’ admonition that it is a duty for Jews not to save a drowning or perishing gentile, he informs us of the Talmudic duty of Jews towards Christians, and also towards Jews who deny the Talmud. Maimonides, Mishnah Torah, (Chapter 10), p. 184:
“It is a mitzvah [religious duty], however, to eradicate Jewish traitors, minnim, and apikorsim, and to cause them to descend to the pit of destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and sway the people away from God, as did Jesus of Nazareth and his students, and Tzadok, Baithos, and their students. May the name of the wicked rot.”
The Jewish publisher’s commentary accompanying the preceding statement of Maimonides states that Jesus was an example of a min (plural: minnim).
The commentary also states that the students of Tzadok were defined as those Jews who deny the truth of the Talmud and who uphold only the written law (i.e. the Old Testament).
According to Maimonides’ Principles, p. 5, Maimonides “spent twelve years extracting every decision and law from the Talmud, and arranging them all into 14 systematic volumes. The work was finally completed in 1180, and was called Mishnah Torah, or “Code of the Torah.”
Maimonides taught in another part of the Mishnah Torah that gentiles are not human: “Man alone, and not vessels, can contract uncleanness by carriage. …The corpse of a gentile, however, does not convey uncleanness by overshadowing. …a gentile does not contract corpse uncleanness; and if a gentile touches, carries, or overshadows a corpse he is as one who did not touch it.
“To what is this like? It is like a beast which touches a corpse or overshadows it. And this applies not to corpse uncleanness only but to any other kind of uncleanness: neither gentiles nor cattle are susceptible to any uncleanness.” (The Code of Maimonides, vol. 10, translated by Herbert Danby, Yale University Press, New Haven, 1954, pp. 8-9).
Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Rotze’ach 2:11: “A Jew who killed a righteous gentile is not executed in a court of law. It says in Exodus 21:14, ‘If a man schemes against his fellow man and kills the man deliberately, take him away from the altar and put him to death.’ But a gentile is not considered a man, and even more so, a Jew is not executed for killing an unrighteous gentile.”
The Schindler’s List Quote
The Talmud (i.e., the Babylonian Talmud) text of Sanhedrin 37a restricts the duty to save life to saving only Jewish lives.
The book on Hebrew censorship, written by Jews themselves (Hesronot Ha-shas), notes that some Talmud texts use the universalist phrase:
“Whoever destroys the life of a single human being…it is as if he had destroyed an entire world; and whoever preserves the life of a single human being …it is as if he had preserved an entire world.”
However, Hesronot Ha-shas points out that these are not the authentic words of the original Talmud.
In other words, the preceding universalist rendering is not the authentic text of the Talmud and thus, for example, this universalist version which Steven Spielberg in his famous movie, Schindler’s List attributed to the Talmud (and which became the motto of the movie on posters and in advertisements), is a hoax and constitutes propaganda intended to give a humanistic gloss to a Talmud which is, in its essence, racist and chauvinist hate literature.
In the authentic, original Talmud text it states that “whoever preserves a single soul of Israel, it is as if he had preserved an entire world” (emphasis supplied). The authentic Talmud text sanctions only the saving of Jewish lives.
Jewish Deception and Dissimulation
The response of the orthodox rabbis to documentation regarding the racism and hatred in their sacred texts is simply to brazenly lie, in keeping with the Talmud’s Baba Kamma 113a which states that Jews may use lies (“subterfuge”) to circumvent a Gentile.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a multi-million dollar rabbinical propaganda center dispatched Rabbi Daniel Landes in 1995 to deny that the Talmud dehumanizes non-Jews. “This is utter rot,” he said. His proof? Why, his word, of course.
Lying to “circumvent a Gentile” has a long patrimony in Judaism. Take for example the 13th century Talmud debate in Paris between Nicholas of Donin, a Jewish convert to Christianity, whom Hyam Maccoby admits had “a good knowledge of the Talmud” ( “The Jews on Trial,” p. 26) and Rabbi Yehiel. Yehiel was not under threat of death, bodily injury, imprisonment or fine. Yet he brazenly lied during the course of the debate.
When asked by Donin whether there were attacks on Jesus in the Talmud, Yehiel denied that there were any. Donin, a Hebrew and Aramaic scholar, knew this to be false. Hyam Maccoby, a 20th century Jewish commentator on the debate, defends Rabbi Yehiel’s lying in this way:
“The question may be asked, however, whether Yehiel really believed that Jesus was not mentioned in the Talmud, or whether he put this forward as an ingenious ploy in the desperate situation in which he found himself…It would certainly have been pardonable of the rabbi to attempt some condonation in which he did not fully believe, to prevent such tyrannical proceedings by one religious culture against another.” ( Maccoby, “The Jews on Trial,” p. 28).
This is how Jewish denial of the existence of hateful Talmud texts is justified to this day. A fanciful word for Jewish lying is conjured (“condonation”) and deemed “pardonable,” while any scrutiny of Jewish holy books by Christian investigators is characterized as a “tyrannical proceeding.”
In 1994, Rabbi Tzvi Marx, director of Applied Education at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, made a remarkable admission concerning how Jewish rabbis in the past have issued two sets of texts: the authentic Talmudic texts with which they instruct their own youth in the Talmud schools (yeshiviot) and “censured and amended” versions which they disseminate to gullible non-Jews for public consumption.
Rabbi Marx states that in the version of Maimonides’ teachings published for public consumption, Maimonides is made to say that whoever kills a human being transgresses the law.
But, Rabbi Marx points out “…this only reflects the censured and amended printed text, whereas the original manuscripts have it only as ‘whoever kills an Israelite.”(Tikkun: A Bi-Monthly Jewish Critique May-June, 1994).
The Jewish book, Hesronot Ha-shas (“that which is removed from the Talmud”), is important in this regard. (Cf. William Popper, The Censorship of Hebrew Books p. 59).
Hesronot Ha-shas was reprinted in 1989 by Sinai Publishing of Tel-Aviv. Hesronot Ha-shas is valuable because it lists both the original Talmud texts that were later changed or omitted, and the falsified texts cited for Gentile consumption as authentic.
Historian William Popper states: “It was not always that long passages…were censored…but often single words alone were omitted…Often, in these cases, another method of correction was used in place of omission–substitution.” (Cf. William Popper, The Censorship of Hebrew Books pp. 58-59).
For example, the translators of the English Soncino version of the Talmud sometimes render the Hebrew word goyim (Gentiles) under any number of disguise words such as “heathen, Cuthean, Kushite, Egyptian, idolater” etc. But these are actually references to Gentiles (all non-Jews). Footnotes for certain passages in the Soncino Talmud translation state: “Cuthean (Samaritan) was here substituted for the original goy…”
The heirs of the Pharisees often deny the existence of the Talmud passages here cited, in order to brazenly claim that such passages are the “fabrications of anti-Semites.”
In 1994, the 80 year old Lady Jane Birdwood was arrested and prosecuted in a criminal court in London, England for the “crime” of publishing in her pamphlet, The Longest Hatred, the truthful statement that the Talmud contains anti-Gentile and anti-Christian passages. (She was accused of violating the Public Order Act of 1986).
In the course of her Orwellian thought-crime trial, which was ignored by the U.S. media, a rabbi was called as a prosecution witness. The rabbi proceeded to flatly deny that the Talmud contained anti-Gentile or anti-Christian passages and on the basis of the rabbi’s “prestige,” this elderly and ailing woman was sentenced to three months in jail and fined the equivalent of $1,000.
“Judeo-Christian” Response to the Talmud
Neither the modern popes or the modern heads of Protestantism, have ever insisted that the rabbis of Judaism repudiate or condemn the racism in the Talmud or the murderous hate for Christians and gentiles expressed within it. On the contrary, the heads of Churchianity have urged the followers of Christ to obey, honor and support the followers of the Talmud. Therefore, it should be obvious that these Catholic and Protestant leaders are the worst betrayers of Jesus Christ on earth today. (Cf. Matthew 23:13-15; I Thess. 2:14-16; Titus 1:14; Luke 3:8-9; Rev. 3:9).
Non-Jews are “Supernal Refuse”
Moreover, not only Christians but non-Christians of all races are regarded as “supernal refuse” (garbage) by Talmud teachers such as the founder of Habad-Lubavitch, Rabbi Shneur Zalman.
This was analyzed in the Jewish magazine, New Republic: “…there are some powerful ironies in Habad’s new messianic universalism, in its mission to the gentiles; and surely the most unpleasant of them concerns Habad’s otherwise undisguised and even racial contempt for the goyim.
“…medieval Jewish theologians–most notably the poet and philosopher Judah Ha-Levi in twelfth-century Spain and the mystic Judah Loewe in sixteenth-century Prague–sought to define the Jewish distinction racially rather than spiritually…this…view, according to which there is something innately superior about the Jews, was rehabilitated in its most extreme form by Shneur Zalman of Lyady. The founder of Lubavitcher Hasidism taught that there is a difference of essence between the souls of Jews and the souls of gentiles, that only in the Jewish soul does there reside a spark of divine vitality.
“As for the goyim…Zalman’s attitude (was): ‘Gentile souls are of a completely different and inferior order. They are totally evil, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.’
“Consequently, references to gentiles in Rabbi Shneur Zalman’s teachings are invariably invidious. Their (non-Jews) material abundance derives from supernal refuse. Indeed, they themselves derive from refuse, which is why they are more numerous than the Jews, as the pieces of chaff outnumber the kernels…All Jews were innately good, all gentiles innately evil.
“…Moreover, this characterization of gentiles as being inherently evil, as being spiritually as well as biologically inferior to Jews, has not in any way been revised in later Habad writing.” –The New Republic, May 4, 1992. Also cf. Roman A. Foxbrunner, Habad: The Hasidism of Shneur Zalman of Lyady (Northvale, New Jersey, Jason Aronson, Inc., 1993) pp. 108-109.
U.S. Government Lays Groundwork for Talmudic Courts
“Our” government under Presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton, has provided, under the euphemism of education (for example, House Joint Resolution 173 and Public Law 102-14), a groundwork for the establishment of Talmudic “courts of justice” to be administered by disciples of Shneur Zalman’s Chabad successor, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
Maimonides ruled that it is a Jewish court — or a court appointed by Jewish authority –that enforces obedience and passes judgment on Gentiles, as well as promulgating legislation by court order for that purpose. Maimonides further decreed that any non-Jewish nation “not subject to our jurisdiction” (tahaht yadeinu) will be the target of Jewish holy war. (Cf. Hilkhot Melakhim 8:9-10; 10:11. Also cf. Gerald J. Blidstein, “Holy War in Maimonidean Law,” in Perspectives on Maimonides [Oxford, England: Oxford Univ. Press, 1991].
These courts are to be convened allegedly under the “Noahide Laws” (proscriptions against idolatry supposedly based on the covenant with Noah). The U.S. presidents and Congress urged the adoption of the “Noahide” Laws as interpreted by Chabad-Lubavitch Grand Rabbi Schneerson.
Prof. Easterly of the Southern University Law Center, a Jewish legal expert, has compared this Public law 102-14 to the “first rays of dawn” which “evidence the rising of a still unseen sun.”
The Jewish Encyclopedia envisages a Noahide regime as a possible world order immediately preceding the universal reign of the Talmud.
It has to be understood that we are not dealing with the Noah of the Bible when the religion of Judaism refers to “Noahide law,” but the Noahide law as understood and interpreted by the absolute system of falsification that constitutes the Talmud.
Under the Talmud’s counterfeit Noahide Laws, the worship of Jesus is forbidden under penalty of death, since such worship of Christ is condemned by Judaism as idolatry. Meanwhile various forms of incest are permitted under the Talmudic understanding of the Noahide code. (Enziklopediya Talmudit, note 1, pp. 351-352).
Furthermore, all non-Jews would have the legal status of ger toshav (“resident alien,” cf. Alan Unterman, Dictionary of Jewish Lore and Legend [London: Thames and Hudson, 1991], p. 148), even in their own land; as for example in occupied Palestine where newly arrived Khazars from Russia have an automatic right to housing and citizenship, while two million Palestinian refugees who either fled or were expelled by the Israelis, are forbidden the right of return.
Resident alien status has been clearly delineated in scholarly articles in leading Jewish publications. For example, Hebrew University Professor Mordechai Nisan, basing his exposition on Maimonides, stated that a non-Jew permitted to reside in a land ruled by Jewish law “must accept paying a tax and suffering the humiliation of servitude.”
If Gentiles refuse to live a life of inferiority, then this signals their rebellion and the unavoidable necessity of Jewish warfare against their very presence. [Cf. Mordechai Nisan, Kivunim (official publication of the World Zionist Organization), August, 1984, pp. 151-156].
At a symposium (“Is Autonomy for Resident Aliens Feasible?”) organized by Israeli Minister of Education Shulamit Aloni, the Israeli Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren repeated the Talmudic teaching on resident aliens: that Judaism forbids “granting any national rights” to them. He ruled that such “Autonomy is tantamount to a denial of the Jewish religion.” (Nadav Shraggai, Ha’aretz, Oct. 14, 1992).
American taxpayers’ subsidy of the so-called “U.S. Holocaust Museum” in Washington, D.C., is yet another indicator of the gradual establishment of a Jewish state religion in the U.S. This “Holocaust museum” excludes any reference to holocausts perpetrated by Jewish Communists against Christians in Russia and Eastern Europe, from 1917 onward.
The focus of the museum is almost entirely on Jewish suffering. Holocausts perpetrated by Israelis against Arabs in Lebanon and Palestine since 1948 are nowhere to be found in the exhibits of the U.S. “Holocaust Museum,” which functions more like a synagogue than a repository of objective historical information.
It is through the rapid emergence of this ostensibly secular but all-pervasive “Holocaustianity” — whereby the religion of Judaism is gaining enormous power and influence as mankind’s supreme ethos and the creed of God’s Holy People.
Jewish Law Requires Christians be Executed
Israeli “Torah scholars” have ruled that:
“The Torah maintains that the righteous of all nations have a place in the World to Come. But not all religious Gentiles earn eternal life by virtue of observing their religion…And while the Christians do generally accept the Hebrew Bible as truly from God, many of them (those who accept the so-called divinity of Jesus) are idolaters according to the Torah, punishable by death, and certainly will not enjoy the World to Come.”
–Israeli Mechon-Mamre website, June 26, 2000; 12 Hayyim Vital St., Jerusalem, Occupied Palestine. (“Mechon Mamre is a small group of Torah scholars in Israel…”).
[Note: we have printed and preserved in our files a hard copy of this statement from the Israeli "Mechon-Mamre Torah Scholars," as it appeared on their website at http://www.mechon-mamre.org/jewfaq/gentiles.htm on June 26, 2000, in the event that denials are later issued and the statement itself suppressed].
Jewish Superstitions
It is not for nothing that the authoritative edition of the Talmud is known as the Babylonian Talmud. As Christians misled by their Judaizing preachers and popes are increasingly consulting Jewish rabbinical sources for a “pure” understanding of the Old Testament, they are unknowingly consulting the occult.
Judaism is the religion of the Pharisees and the patrimony of Babylon, from whence the Talmudic and Kabbalistic traditions of Judaism ultimately derive. Orthodox Judaism’s other sacred book, the Kabbalah, is filled with astrological teachings, fortune-telling, gematria, necromancy and demonology.
The photograph on the cover of this publication’s hard copy version shows an orthodox Jew performing a ritual to transfer his sins to the chicken he is waving over his head. This is pernicious superstition.
Furthermore, the Israeli “Star of David,” is actually nothing of the kind, but rather an occult hexagram, a yantra of the androgyne, which became associated with the Khazars in 14th century Bohemia. (The misnamed “state of Israel” was founded in 1948 in an alliance between Jewish Communists and atheistic Zionists, with crucial U.N. recognition provided by Soviet Communist dictator Joseph Stalin).
Christians might find it eye-opening to visit a Hasidic Jewish area during “Purim” and observe the grotesque, Halloween-like cavorting. Though the Purim festival uses the Book of Esther as its supposed proof-text, in practice the Jewish celebration of Purim is little more than a Bacchanal (cf. “Superstitions said legacy from Jewish ancestors,” Canadian Jewish News, Nov. 16, 1989, p. 58).
Orthodox rabbis place curses, cast spells and imagine they have powers greater than God, derived from their study of the Sefer Yezriah, (a book of Kabbalistic magic). Christians are trafficking in Babylonian paganism when they defer to the rabbis of Judaism.
Sodomy in the synagogue
From a report published in the Hebrew language Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz
“…for many years, (Talmud scribe) Yaakov Yitzhak Brizel…sodomized ultra-Orthodox boys. The greatest rabbis knew – and did nothing…
“At the age of 11, Moisheleh, the strongest fellow in the talmud torah (school for ultra-Orthodox boys), went up to Shaiya Brizel and said to him: ‘Kid, I want you know that your father is not the holy man you think he is. He is a homo.’ …Brizel was a scion of the Brizel family, which founded …the mysterious organization that imposes moral order on the ultra-Orthodox ghetto…
“Had the father, Yaakov Yitzhak Brizel …contented himself with homosexual relations with adults, it is reasonable to suppose that we would never have heard his son’s story.
“However, in his book, The Silence of the Ultra-Orthodox, published a few weeks ago, the son claims that for decades his father …sodomized yeshiva students. He committed the act in empty synagogues during the hours between prayers and in other places.
“The greatest of the ultra-Orthodox rabbis…like Rabbi Landau and the halachic sage Shmuel Halevi Hausner of Bnei Brak, knew and kept silent. The father was a Hasid heart and soul, and went to a number of rebbes…. the twin brother of the rebbe from Rehovot, the Rebbe of Kretschnif in Kiryat Gat, was happy to accept the father among his followers. Ultimately, claims Brizel, it was not easy for the Rebbe from Kiryat Gat to be picky when he could win such a respected adherent.
“…The proud father with the look of an honored rebbe, who observed all the commandments from the slightest to the most important, used to pray at a certain yeshiva with the young boys. There, claims Shaiya Brizel, he hunted his victims. When the head of the yeshiva discovered the true reason that the respected Torah scribe was praying fervently at his yeshiva, he did not contact the police…
“Before the publication of his book, Shaiya Brizel met with the yeshiva head. ‘You are right that we covered up for him,’ admitted the man. ‘I and a few other rabbis…I was busy trying to calm things down and hushing up the affair so that it would not get publicized.’
“(The son) published the book using real names. His entire family and almost all the rabbis appear under their own names. Only the names of some of the localities and the head of the yeshiva are disguised. To protect himself from a legal point of view, Brizel held a series of conversations with members of his family and rabbis, in which he demanded explanations of why they had covered up for his father’s misbehavior. He secretly recorded all these conversations, even with his mother.
“If I had written without the names it would have been fiction and this certainly did not suit me,” he explained. ‘I wanted things to change, for ultra-Orthodox society to know that it can attempt to hide things and be hidden, but even if it takes 30 years, a Golem will always rise up against its creator and reveal everything. In this case, I was the Golem.’
“When Rachel Brizel, the daughter of a good Bnei Brak family, married an arranged match from the glorious Brizel family, she had no idea that she was destroying her own life. After six months, she caught her husband having sex with another man. In that case, at least it was with an adult.
“Shaiya Brizel relates that some of the boys with whom his father had relations sent letters of complaint to their own fathers; in the discreet ultra-Orthodox society they had no one else to whom they could complain.
Shaiya Brizel: author of a book telling of sodomy in the synagogue
“When she read these letters, my mother went out of her mind,’ writes Brizel. ‘Every such letter made her want to demand a divorce. Again and again batteries of mediators, the Brizel rabbis, would show up, whose job it was to calm her down so that, heaven forbid, she would not destroy the good name of the Brizel family.
“They could live with the fact that one of their own had raped minors, but for them divorce was an impossible situation.’
“…Twice, once during prayers in a synagogue, and once during a Gemara (Talmud) study hour at Rabbi Eliezer Shach’s Ponevezh Yeshiva, ultra-Orthodox men who were strangers to him touched his sexual organ, presumably on the assumption that he followed in his father’s footsteps. The first time, he made a fuss, only to discover that the only thing that interested the people there was to hush the whole thing up. The second time, he made do with a whispered warning to the man.
“Shaiya Brizel is now 36 and the father of three; he works as an accountant.
“His father, 65, was forced to leave home several years ago and return to his elderly parents’ apartment. Shaiya wrote this book after a suicide attempt in June.
‘For all those years I was half dead. For the past five years I have been getting psychological treatment. During my talks with the psychologist I decided that I was going to spew out all this ugliness in the form of a book.’
“He took into account that there would be violent reactions to the book…which only came out a few weeks ago…Brizel suffers from a serious heart defect, which could cause his death. As a way of protecting himself, he has deposited a letter with three lawyers that contains serious allegations about the Eda Haredit, and he has informed the relevant people.
“Recently, he has moved to a new apartment, and he lives in the National Religious sector of a mixed community of National Religious and ultra-Orthodox families. Naturally, he started praying at the only Hasidic synagogue in the settlement. After the book came out, associates of the local rebbe (rabbi) informed him that he was persona non grata.
“Ironically, this same rebbe had come to the area after being compelled to leave several other communities on suspicion of having sodomized his pupils. In ultra-Orthodox society, revealing that acts of sodomy have been committed is a far graver offense than committing them.
“On the day the book was published, Brizel met with the head of the Hachemei Lublin Yeshiva, Rabbi Avraham Vazner. ‘He told me that publishing the book was a million times worse than what my father had done…’
“Ha’aretz has been unable to obtain a response from Rabbi Yaakov Yitzhak Brizel. At his parents’ home, a woman replied: “We don’t care. Shaiya is a liar and there is nothing more to be said.”
“Ha’aretz also requested the Brizels’ response through the Eda Haredit activist Yehuda Meshi- Zahav. By the time the article went to press, there was no response through this channel either.
“Several weeks ago the father responded to the women’s magazine La’isha, saying that he would sue the publishers, which has not yet happened. It is unlikely that it will happen.
“Shaiya Brizel was ready to put off publication of the book, on condition that the family sue him in a rabbinical court, in which the affair would be aired. He has said that no one in the family was prepared to take up the challenge.
“In the conversation with La’isha, the father said that he was indeed a homosexual, ‘But I have had treatment and today I am no longer like that. All this is behind me.’
“In reply to a question as to whether he had sexual relations with minors, he replied: ‘Perhaps I will talk about that some other time.’ He accused his son Shaiya of being ‘the only one who is after me. He has destroyed my life…He wrote this only for the money. He wanted money from me…Because of him I separated from my wife.’
“Shaiya’s sister, Rivka Hubert, spoke with great anger to the La’isha reporter about the fact that her brother had revealed the names of the persons involved, and declared: ‘We deny everything it says in the book.”

None of the candidates are going to fulfill their promises. We discuss the Presendential candidates but keep forgetting the congress controls the money. We won’t see any real changes until term limits for the house and senate are enacted. Twelve years total in either house. Now once they are elected they are only interested in the next election. That and the Fair Tax would go a long way to taking back control of this country.

To: Repubican Wimp (l left out on purpose)
Let’s look at this a different way-
Recent History – Presidents responsible for getting us into conflicts:
WWI–Wilson (D)
WWII–Roosevelt (D)
Korean War–Truman (D)
Vietnam War–Kennedy (D)
Iraq War I–Bush (R) a win by the way
Iraq War II–Bush (R) winning according to those care enough to be independent minded
Afghanastan War –Bush (R) also winning
It’s clear–if you want to get into a worldwide war, vote Democratic!

Get with the program people.This is a genuis tact used by The President and Karl Rove to bring out those who feel like they have to defend themselves.
The President mentioned no names,but look at the response,the 100% liberal Democratic reponse.
Why say anything,what are they defending?…because when it comes down to it,the Democrats are weak on national security…PERIOD!!!
So now they knock each over trying to get to a microphone to defend their position.And its documented with words,or better yet,how about there actions.
Anyone remember the leaders of the Democrats,such as the Speakers,Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Syria,how about Democrat Jimmy Carter meeting with hamas?
THE REAL….INCOVENIENT TRUTH

I cannot sit by and watch this dem party tear apart our country. I can say I am proud to be switching parties the day Obama gets the nomination. Dean and Pelosi need to be run out of town.

If democrats are so smart for America then why did they not keep the White House? President Bush is right.

It’s nice to see the democrat elite lining up behind Obama. To bad the people aren’t!

I’m an idependent from Fl and I have to say that I agree with bush on this one. You can not meet and talk with someone who is killing our soldiers and hates us. Right now i’m leaning to the republicans

Read these blogs and you will understand why the country is falling apart. The sad thing is, most of you on this blog probably have children! What a bunch of morons. Grow up people and get your head out of your butts!

I sure hope Obama is not ‘mental.’ He had no reason to take Bush’s comments personally.

Oh yeah Carol, he was spot on! Oh he really told Barack didn’t he. Yet another MORON! Stop hating on BO. He is not going to come and kill you and your family in the middle of the night. BO –elist. Where did you get your originality? Sad, sad, sad, Americans.

Matt, read a historical account of JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis at http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761579929/cuban_missile_crisis.html instead of spouting utter rubish. JFK did not simply talk with Cuba or Russia. We had already instituted an embargo, cutting off all economic trade. He then armed anti-Castro Cuban exiles in 1961 in an effort to topple the Castro government; however, this was clearly an insufficient effort and they were soundly defeated by Castro’s army at the Bay of Pigs. Once it was determined that Russia’s missiles inside of Cuba posed a real threat to the U.S., “At first, President Kennedy favored a surgical air strike to destroy the missile bases alone, but this alternative was blocked on several fronts. McNamara remained firmly against the air strike, while Robert Kennedy continued to press his Pearl Harbor analogy. Together with Sorensen, the three men, comprising the President’s most trusted advisers, were united in a ‘triple alliance’ coalition against the air strike.” So, he settled for a naval blockade, while at the same time moving soldiers and equipment into place for a possible invasion of Cuba. Upon announcement of the blockade to Russia, “Kennedy warned that if Khrushchev fired missiles from Cuba, the result would be “a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union.”. If you call this mere diplomacy or simply talking, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Also, you need to understand that Russia already had the nuclear weaponry (both in their own country and now in Cuba within striking distance of all of our major cities) which could kill millions. Bush is advocating that we don’t allow Iran to gain this capability before we do something to stop it.

SweetPea – get over yourself. Can you not think of anything more than BO ‘mental’. You guys are so funny!

I never really liked Dana Perrino but she is RIGHT ON…Obama is a egotistical smug jerk who DOES think he walks on water…and his kool aid followers swear he does too. For the 1st time in my life (beside Reagan) I am a democrate who will vote Republican in Nov if slimeball BHO is the nominee.

If you think taxes are high in your state, try living in Obama’s home state of Ill. If he wasen’t unable to control spending there, what makes anyone think he could or would do anything in Washington. It would be a sad day if he were ever elected president.He is a good talker and that is all that he is. Most of it is hot air.I have a very good health plan so if your really want one too,get off your stupid butts and go to work like I did and don’t expect me or anyone to pay for your health plan.Vote for McCain. Someone who knows how to lead,
Bobj

It’s easy for Obama to take shots at Bush. He’s not the one who has to make the decisions. Bush said the right things. Obama is an idiot. How he has gotten this far in his campaign is beyond me. Nothing he says make sense.
God help us if Obama gets elected; you thought Carter was bad; Obama will make Carter look like a genius.

Oh my God, you people are idiots. When is Bush – or ANY of our past administrations – going to STOP PANDERING TO THE SICKENING JEW GARBAGE OF ISRAEL? They’ve received our help … they’re capable, self-sufficient, and militarily effective. Why do we need to hold hands with them exactly? Why do we need to utilize them in our petty political gamaes for statewide grandstanding? Please. Bush, along with the vast majority of D.C., needs to pull his head out. Don’t trust Israel.

To Mary who proudly voted for Bush, twice, congratulations – you’re an Fng idiot.

firest of all nobody in here know anything about the muslim faith to be a muslim you are not supposed to attack any non muslim unless they start fighting you in your own land and for me as a muslim I want to remind you about camp david and the peace deal between Egypt and Israil about 30 years ago by the way it was done while Carter was in office

Oh yeah Steven, he really took it to our enemies. Man we are really kicking their butts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The world is scared, really scared of the Bush administration. How are we winning? Let me hear something other than we have not been attacked. Be original if you can. Absolutely pathetic!!

Even with all the confusing political spin attached to the “truth” these days, I believe Mr. Bush (or at least his speechwriters) has nailed it with a clarity that his interlopers on the Left just cannot understand. Some things are as clear as the nose on your face.. you just can’t appease terrorists.

Tooter – there’s a spot reserved for you in Hell my friend, right next to your butt buddy Hitler.

history proves again and again that appeasement only encourages aggression.

This is great. Do you people see the mood of the public? Obama has no chance when it gets to the general election. he is percieved as naive, weak, egotistical – and this is even before you get to the fact that he is incompetent. It is going to be a sluaghter

Robert Glen – not the infamous taxes. Oh boy wait until your taxes go sky high. Another pathetic comment. Go back to school or something please.

I’d rather have a President with Stage II Melomama than a President with all of the diseases Obama has, such as:
Stage IV Lack of BALLlS!
Stage X Militant Wifeoma
Stage X Smugoma
Stage X 20 year Hearing Loss.
Stage X Hamas Lovingoma
ps…my sister had stage IV melenoma almost 20 years ago and she is still around, thanks G-d.

Obama is not only an arrogant man but seems to be the favorite of all Wahhabist/Jihadist/Islamist. Why ?
I like is change talk but we need somebody who we can trust. He is a smooth talker who tells us what we want to hear but his actions(friendships with many Jihadist) tell a different tale.

the honeymoon is over. At first all everyone talked about was how great obama was. His cult followers swooned and got teary eyed. WELL – now we have his racist priest, his racist wife, his ties to more crooks, bombers, bribery scams and he is starting to crack. He has no chance when it gets to the general election. Sure – he can give a speech but he cannot answer questions he has not been coached on ahead of time. he has no policies, no idea what he is doing – just trying to get by on being slick. Its all coming apart for the democrats now. What a completely incompetent party. Served up another chump.

When Obama is president all you war lovers can be the 28% that does not approve of him and that will be just fine with the 72% that do.
All of this retorhic about how we are safer because we sent our boys over to Iraq to be the Turkeys in a turkey shoot without a single shred of proof of the reasoning for being there in the first place. Everything that Bush and Cheney have said has been lies, but they are both very rich. In fact Bush can’t wait to get richer after we send him on his way. He can’t wait to fill the coffers. Those where his own words, and the only ones I believe.

Absolutely straight on. I am proud of President Bush. This is something the libs cannot stomach, like I give a rats a. We will destroy this enemy, the same as we did Russia! Hussein Obama is burnt toast, can I get an Amen!

Mr.B.H.Obama is showing his lack of statesmanship in foreign affairs. Why is he so sensitive to that remark? If the shoe fits??? The more Mr. B. H. Obama speaks the more we get to know the “Real” Obama and it makes me even more concerned that he could be our President!

Arvind – yeah, he’s a fav of terrorist. Another unoriginal comment. So funny. So, so funny. I hope you don’t have off-spring. If you do, give them up so they can grow up without fear. I have another idiot here!!

It amazes me how Bush haters believe their own made up lies and vitriol.
YOU DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS!
Some of these posts are perfect examples of how hate utterly blinds you.
We live in one of the greatest countries in the world enjoying the greatest level of wealth we have ever experienced, the highest level of home ownership with the biggest houses ever, the highest stock market ever, and on and on. Europeans are electing conservatives and are pro-American, and millions of people want to come here and live.
Yet, all you spew is hate and negativism. You are sad, sad people.
You vote for Obama and you’ll get exactly what you deserve.

Is it a coincidence that Lebanon is now a battlefield within the month that Jaime Carter played kisseeface with terrorist leaders?? Just a coincidence Hamas is slamming long range Iranian/Syrian/North Korean missles into occupied Israel targets??
Keep on thinking it is a coincidence….just like Neville Chamberlain did………along with FDR for over 5 horrific years of suffering by our British allies!!

Obama is loyal to Obama first and I am not sure he can count to two.

It is a known fact that people with a college eduction tend to be LIBERAL and Scarety cat dummies tend to be RIGHT WING CONSERVATIVE. These are the ones that fear tactics and hateful one liners work on. These are the ones that came out and voted for Bush. You can argue that they are the ones that put America in the predicament that it is in now.Reading some of these postings make me feel for my beloved country. They are still quaking in their fear and boiling in their hate and will not rest till they tear this country down. God help America!!

Obama has hope! he hopes he can be president! Thats all he has. Policies, ummmm, zero. Bills sponsored on the Senate, ummmm, zero (he actually has not even worked as a Senator besides getting directions to the free lunch room before going back on campaign). Listen – get back to reality – all the guy does well is make a speech. He would make an excellent press secretary, actor, street corner preacher or leader of a marching band. JUST AS LONG AS HE DOES NOT HAVE TO THINK! 57 States! Hilarious! If its not on the teleprompter the man is lost!

Left Wingers are always sympathetic to terrorists. They’re worried about them being waterboarded, having lawyers and being held without a sissy left wing lawyer. Left Wingers were the idiots that wanted to create a human shield for Saddam. left Wingers are the morons that want to sit down with Ahmadinejad, Chavez, and Bashar al-Assad. They grovel at the feet of these supporters of terrorism. Left Wingers should all hang.

Hey “Everybody on this Board”, re-elect Bush? Maybe you should get out of your mom’s basement for a few hours, go to the library, and read the Constitution numbnuts. With morons like this, who needs Islamo-fascist enemies.

>>President Bush is right. If Obama is elected, terrorist may use our commercial airplanes and fly them into our tall buildings and kill people. Vote republican!<<
An attack that was planned for years on Clinton's watch, as he let Osama skate while he chased after Bill Gates, David Koresh, and Randy Weaver. The blood of 9/11 is on Clinton's hands

REAL DEAL I am conservative and college educated. It is the conservatives that are willing to join the service and defend your educated sorry lazy ass. You need to thank us.

Hey Obama – I am going to open a street corner t-shirt booth. I think you are very qualified to sell t-shirts for me. No… dont worry, I’ll take the money and make the change. We all know you cant count and I have actually listened to you stubmle through your idea of an economic policy. You just stand there and do what you do best – talk. Now dont strain yourself, just keep talking – you look pretty and no one is really taking anything you say seriously anyway. If you get lost again just read the notes I taped to your arm and smile a lot. HEY – heres an idea – if you get stuck just say anything about ‘hope’ – that always goes over well. The stupid people always eat that one up.

We talked and talked with the Hussein regime and it got us nowhere. It wasn’t until there was a credible threat of force that he allowed the inspectors back in to be led around by the nose. Obama is naive if he thinks that these thugs running these countries use diplomacy and anything other than a delaying tactic. He is terribly naive and that is dangerous.

Hey “Everybody on this Board”, re-elect Bush? Maybe you should get out of your mom’s basement for a few hours, go to the library, and read the Constitution numbnuts. With morons like this, who needs Islamo-fascist enemies.

WHY DO LIBERALS STILL HATE AMERICA?

Obama is an idiot…anyone who listens to him or would think of voting for him is…..dumber than a box of rocks. Look at the people he surrounds himself with. Birds of a Obama feather together….simply put racist and anti-American. Let us all hear the details of his plans for change. Duh…change us to a 3rd world socialist country????

THE BUSH FAMILY has a historical connection with the NAZI PARTY. W should know better than to open this can of worms. Where do you think America’s NEOCONSERVATIVE TACTICS are derived from?

Pardon me, Mr. Crazed Murderer. Once you get done removing that man’s head from his body, I’d like to talk to you about your needs.

Yes, that’s right. Let’s all vote for the Democrat candidate for President, House Representative and Senator. Then these “progressives” could mandate that everyone attend sensitivity courses so that we may all understand the Muslim way of life. And while we’re at it we can allow for laws that will ensure that the Muslim way of life become increasingly integrated into American society. See, because if we are nice to them and bend over backwards not to offend, then everything will be wonderful. Wake up you niaive, misguided little sheep, they (your wonderful candidates) are pulling the wool over your eyes and expoiting you for your vote. Beware, if we are not careful, the will and determination of the Muslim movement will one day take over our dimwitted sentimentalities and lack of will.

anyone want to talk to a terrorist? go right on and sit down with them. you’ll come back without a head…

“But Obama DID say he wanted to negotiate with terrorists. Launching an attack on Bush does not change that fact”
You are correct.

I never heard the President mention Obama by name, as CNN Blitzer just told me. Do they report factual news or do they just make it up as they go along. I guess if the shoe fits you might find yourself in his speech. Where was this same outcry when the Dems went overseas an made statements to undermind the Administration. Good for the President.

History will show that Bush was right and made the right decisions when it came to the war on terror. If McCain is elected the history books will show that America stayed strong and eventually won the war on terror. If Obama is elected history will show a world falling into chaos with terrorists running free to destroy everything.

BUSHY BUSH! STOP THE TORTURE! NOW!

after the dust settles build a giant supercenter in the middle of iran and turn the rest of the country into a parking lot. satan is alive and well in terroist movement. and he knows what he is doing. wake up civilized world.

Wake up you idiots!!!! Yes let’s continue the same policies that we have for the last 8 years because they have worked so well for us. Iran is closer to aquiring nuclear weapons, we still have not resolved the N. Korea crisis and the war in Iraq has been the biggest recruiting tool for Bin Laden ever. Yes That has worked like a dream. Many on here spew ignorance out of hate or just plain old stupidity. Get the facts straight and get a life. All these Bush supportes, LMAO; he has really improved your lives , right? Remember this: It is best to be thought a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt.
