And he thinks he's ready to be President

President Bush delivered a speech yesterday in Israel to members of the Knesset. This part is from the text of the speech from The Wall Street Journal.

• Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: "Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided." We have an obligation to call this what it is – the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.

Reading that you see a pretty large blanket aimed at Jimmy Carter, Nancy Pelosi, and tons of people that feel we need to sit down with the terrorists and talk. This asinine idea is the last thing any right minded individual would recommend, but the liberals all over the world keep promoting it.

No one said a word about it until Obama decided it must have been aimed at him. Instead of doing the wise choice and just letting it go he responded thusly.

• "It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel's independence to launch a false political attack," Obama said.

  "George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the president's extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel,"

What a moron...

White House reaction to Obama.

• The White House said Bush's comment wasn't a reference to Obama.
  "It is not," press secretary Dana Perino told reporters in Israel. "I would think that all of you who cover these issues and have for a long time have known that there are many who have suggested these types of negotiations with people that the president, President Bush, thinks that we should not talk to. I understand when you're running for office you sometimes think the world revolves around you. That is not always true. And it is not true in this case."

Man those hanging curve balls can really get launched, can't they?

The Democrats are all up in a tizzy now, which is even more entertaining since this part of his speech is exactly the same thing he's been saying for years. Obama just went ahead and put the shoes on...

Cool
