Barack Obama accused President Bush of "a false political attack" Thursday after Bush warned in Israel against appeasing terrorists — early salvos in a general election campaign that's already blazing even as Obama tries to sew up his party's nomination.
The White House denied Obama was Bush's target, but the Democratic presidential contender said the Republican president's intent was clear. John McCain, the likely GOP nominee, jumped in, too, using the opportunity to argue that Obama was showing "naivete and inexperience and lack of judgment" in his willingness to meet with U.S. foes.
...As the workday began stateside, Bush gave a speech to Israel's Knesset in which he spoke of the president of Iran, who has called for the destruction of the U.S. ally. Then, Bush said: "Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the 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 I could only have talked to Hitler, all 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," Bush added.

There was nothing false about it, Obamanation. You just don’t want anyone knowing the truth, oh Intolerant One.
Pretty sure the President was taking a jab at the Idiotic One, Jimmy Carter.
He just stepped on Obama’s toes.
How long before some Dem flack accuses GWB and McC of racism? Pass the popcorn please ........
He never mentioned your name Barry. You got a guilty conscience or what?
He should sue Bush for definition of character.
Hey, Barry, if the shoe fits........
Methinks BHO doth protest too much.
I actually saw the speech. Obama’s name, his status or rank, nor his capacity as a candidate were ever mentioned by the President.
He simply made the observation. The President made the observation about ‘some people’ and those people, of their own volition, stood and identified themselves at the tops of their voices.
How does he know W was not talking about Jimmy Carter? Nancy Pelosi? Seemingly he is a little paranoid....
Thinned skinned & transparent.
Throw a stone into a pack of dogs - the one that howled is the one that got hit.
Right. Now I hope the WH does not fall all over itself apologizing to any and all to the extent of their offendedness. I mean, after all, Dubya’s comments were a bit mealy-mouthed. He should have been a bit more pointed on exactly who he was talking about. It seems to have been intended for Boma, but they lack the guts to admit it. This may be Boma’s first foreign policy victory: B**ch slapping the CIC’s other cheek.
He didn’t accuse Obama of appeasement. I think he accused ALL of the liberals of it. Must have hit a nerve.
Obama Hussein Obama thought that the description that Bush gave sounded pretty much like him, so he yelped, even when his name was not metioned. He just may have rightly identified himself.
I would think it was against, Jimmy Carter but it shows, Barrack Husein Obama is of the same mind as he felt he had to say something.
Beautiful, my FRiend.

“Methinks BHO doth protest too much.”
A hit, a palpable hit. W deftly reminded the Jewish voting block what it gets with Obambi. The antisemitism of the left can’t be hidden.
W is good...really good.
Why do I fear that Obama will somehow be the next POTUS?
Methinks he doth protest too much.
He is a novice on national security issues as it is.
Don’t remember the President mentioning Barrack Obama. Maybe, Sen. Obama has a guilty conscience on that issue?

Hey Rock! Check out the note I put about you & your 80’s ping list in my Profile (under my pic) in big font letters.
Niiiice!
I actually saw the speech. Obama’s name, his status or rank, nor his capacity as a candidate were ever mentioned by the President.
LOL —the taste of popcorn is good anytime. I need a cool drink to go with it and I’m all set for the comedy to begin.
President Bush put the shoe down; Obama stepped in it, and it happened to be a perfect fit.
He stepped in SOMETHING, fer shure.
Gosh, does Obama want everyone to keep talking about that idiotic stuff he said last year about being willing to take a meeting with suicide bombers (or whatever)? Kind of a dumb move for Dumbo to even suggest the Prez was talking about him.
Ancient Chinese saying: If you find self in hole, stop digging.
Pssst, Barry, he was talkin’ about Carter.
Too late now you done showed your cards.
There is no changing history, Obama. Not unless you have planned a 1984 change of history, according to the Stalinist method of social change.
I guess BHO just identified himself as someone who thinks “...some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.”
Are those shadows, or does Michelle need to shave those pits?
Usually this type of "over-protest" is due to a guilty conscience. Clearly, since BHO has espoused "talking" as his preferred course of action and, just as clearly, since the islamoscum have repeatedly stated their unwillingness to discuss the matter or compromise in any way, BHO is just a "black" Chamberlain.
This clueless socialist dummycrap, along with Pelosi, Reid, Biden, Clinton, et.al., is a danger to the general safety and well-being of western civilization. At least McCain understands the existence of an enemy; too bad about some of his other stands, but in the context of BHO and hitlary.....
I can’t believe W had the balls to say what he did. It’s about damn time!
Well I’m sure glad to hear that. LOL
She’s got quite some biceps there....
Those are NFL quality biceps, lol - I’d like to see her and Hiliarly heaving ashtrays and brick-a-bats at each other, I’d pay a cover charge to see that show!
Yep. That paper will bear the signatures on a seven-year deal.
Oh, I don’t know... Maybe because McCain’s running against him?
Mrs. Obama was overheard commenting, “We don’t be appeasin nobody, you old fish eyed foool.
Okay, so who exactly is THIS Bush fellow? And can we get him over here to run for president, wherever he’s from?
=)
