but, please, Barack Obama, quit yer bitchin’:
In his speech to the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel, Bush said anyone who claims that talking with terrorists will result in peace is experiencing a “foolish delusion.”
“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,” the president said.
While Bush never mentioned Obama by name, “aggressive personal diplomacy” with Iran is an oft-stated proposal by Obama as a means to end that country’s support for insurgency in Iraq and its nuclear programs.
Obama swiftly criticized Bush for a “false political attack” and said the president’s foreign policy has failed to secure the U.S. or Israel.
Dude, you’re running for president and, for better or worse, opening yourself up to criticism with every word you utter. Deal with it! I mean seriously, you don’t even have to mention Obama by name and he turns into the biggest nag this side of your ex-girlfriend. Question (indirectly) his naive foreign policy platform, and you’re obviously launching “false (actually accurate) political attacks.” Claim that he can only win the support of African-Americans and the liberal elite, who, by the way, have no idea what a gas tax is because they’re so filthy rich they have no idea they’re even paying it? Then you’re obviously a “race-bater,” or any other catchy word that liberals can come up with to make you seem like the villainous cad that you are (i.e. close-minded, hate-monger, etc., etc.). Ask him about his thoughts on Jimmy Carter’s meeting with Hamas during a campaign stop, and well, you’re obviously a heartless, inconsiderate creep for not letting him “just eat his waffles.” I’m all for change in this country, but if “change” means that we have to listen to this guy cry himself a river like a wanna-be prom queen every time someone questions him over the next four years, then count me out.
