Well any negative comments from a president w/ polling #'s like this can only help..........

His grasp of history aint much better than his grasp of anything else.......

He is giving up golf in sympathy w/ our troops... THis great accomplishment will be what he is remembered for, not stupid wars & torture...........

It's a left wing plot I tell you. He could only be compared to Clinton, who is said to be pretty good. I'll bet he just sucks and somebody would have eventually recorded him swearing and pitching a fit and then posting it on you tube.

That's a good question, my guess is that it was a republican anyway so he didn't bother to name him.

But in a way, he had a point if his point was, that there has always been heads of state who are going to invade a country come hell or high water and no amount of talking or reasoning will stop them. You know, like himself. the stupid fuck doesn't even recognize the shit he stepped into on this one.

HuffPo updating article:

Quote:
UPDATE: John Kerry has responded on TPMCafe:

Quote:
First, it's absolutely shameless that an American President would use a speech in front of a foreign government to launch such a petty political attack. President Bush has abused the dignity of the office in ways that make especially ironic his long ago pledge to "restore dignity and integrity to the Oval office."

cant wait to watch KO tonight!!!



Perhaps worse -- he's not even right on the facts, and he knows it. Like Representatives Boehner and Cantor, President Bush just makes up policies to attack. Barack Obama opposes negotiating with terrorists. And always has. This is just another example of the disingenuous habit of this administration to create "some people" whom they can argue against, strawman arguments that they can use in their disgusting political attacks.
"This is bullshit, this is malarkey. This is outrageous, for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, to sit in the Knesset ... and make this kind of ridiculous statement."

UPDATE: Biden calls bullshit:

Quote:
"He is the guy who has weakened us," he said. "He has increased the number of terrorists in the world. It is his policies that have produced this vulnerability that the U.S. has. It's his [own] intelligence community [that] has pointed this out, not me."

Biden noted that Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have both suggested that the United States ought to find a way to talk more with its enemies.

"If he thinks this is appeasement, is he going to come back and fire his own cabinet?" Biden asked. "Is he going to fire Condi Rice?"

George Bush is now the boisterous drunken uncle that the American family is too embarassed of to invite to public get-togethers.

So he chooses to speak politically when FOREIGN COUNTRIES invite him to historic ceremonies. (Perhaps not a coincidence,...even the troops will heckle his dumb ass now).

There he is, drunk on the podium, his balls hanging out of his dirty wrinkled bermuda shorts, saying "FUCK THEm!!......I aint talking to them. ......and anyone who DOES talk to them, is a Nazi simpa......shimper.....sympithys....a Nazi! ..." "hic"
"I gave up golf, (begins to weep)...,.....you fuggers....and ...candy.
....(sniff). ..
..my dad never loved me. (BARFFFF)"

-enter secret service "Gilligan is down, Gilligan is down"

....just when you thought.."At least he's already lowered the bar so far that, he CAN't embarass us now."

woops.

Wow!!!!....Chris Matthews put the smack down on the ranting republican ass who was doesn't understand the meaning of the word "appeasement".


Notice the democrats came out in force today to defend Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I hope this is a new trend, the fighting democrats.

Time to stop letting the republicans define us, it's killed this party since Regan.

Black_Knight is going down hill
I trust Matthew's as far as I can throw him for his Connie Mancrushes, but he took a radio connie to task in the form of a history lesson today. And I am soooo happy this was the one day I ate early and decided to watch hardball.

Crooks and Liars » Matthews rips right wing Talkie Kevin James because he doesn’t know who Neville Chamberlain is


I love it how the Air America guy just has to sit back and take the easy potshots while Crazy Connie Cevin James just self destructs. (BTW he was at full volume the moment he came out of the gate)

Talking to people is not appeasement. It is human. Are we a bunch of dumb animals, we can't use language to communicate?

Bush is using the same old stupid argument, "Iraq - 9/11", "Axis of Evil - Iran + terrorism". The Bush administration strategy consisted of taking people as far away from reality as possible (to the point they could no longer tell what was real and what was fantasy). Luckily, people have learned how science can anchor them in reality. The reality/fantasy parts of the brain, and how they can be controlled, makes regular scientific study a psychological imperative.
