The way Barrack lashes out at people makes it seem very unlikely he will be a unifier. If he cannot find a way to respond any better than that to such mild criticism what will he do when our enemies really come after us? He may actually appease them. I can see him being that confused.
McCarthyism is here! Terrorists, or anyone that look like them or don't want to kill em, are the new commie. If you ain't for killing terrorists, as defined by Bush, not defined by law, then you are one of them. This is mainstream McCarthyism brewing at the top levels of the U.S. government.
Didn't the Congress just approve funding for counter-terrorism against Iran? Where is Obama on that? This is all just lip service and posturing. The real issues never get covered.
And Obama is going to bury most Americans alive with his tax increases - increases in social security - increases in income taxes - and all this even for those of us who are not even within reach of being able to buy a home.
If you read the book Class Matters and also the book Free Lunch you can read all about how the middle class and especially the upper middle class is the most taxed group there is. The standard of life has gone down and now we can't even afford a home. But we are having to pay for every one else to get subsidized.
I want to see the poor get help but not on the backs of those who do not even own a home themselves. That is wrong. THis has never happened before that we have had a Democratic nominee propose such a thing.
But it will be the middle and upper middle classes that get buried alive by Obama.
Do not vote for him. He has repeatedly said he will do this. He is so out of touch with working people and it isn't just blue collar workers, it's most of us he is oblivious to.
...either. A nice position to be in, don't you think?
It's OK though. Bush has made it politically impossible for any president to ignore the issue. All of them willnow be measured by the Bush standard.
Bush nailed it and Obama's response, sadly, reveals once again that he's unfit to be president. I don't see strength or clarity in the man: witihout question he's devoid of fightig spirit. That's why Hamas and the leaders of the Global Jihad are rooting for him!
In Obama I see a Harvard Law School intellectual with a glib tongue and minimal guts. He's looking worse and worse by the hour.
I hate what Bush has done economically. He's been a bad president. But that doesn't mean his remarks in Israel were inappropriate or wrong.. There were 8 and a half million Jews in Europe before the appeasers permitted Hitler to take power and slaughter 6 million of them. The word 'appeasement' is well understood by the people of Israel.
Bush was actually referring to Jimmy Carter who met with Hamas while they were launching rockets in to Israel to murder civilians.
Obama heard the word 'appeaser' and naturally assumed that people were talking about him, with good reason. This pandering, lying, ignorant naive child that George Soros has bought the democratic nomination is the very definition of appeasement. What Obama actually said is HERE:

No nuance, no wiggle room, just flat out agreeing to meet with Ahmadinejad or whatever other grubby little terrorist monster wants to destroy us for 'negotiations'. Be it Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela... This naive child will 'negotiate' with them without 'preconditions'.
IT EVEN SAYS IT ON HIS WEBSITE:
'Diplomacy: Obama is the only major candidate who supports tough, direct presidential diplomacy with Iran without preconditions.'
He has also said he would negotiate with Hezbollah. (Again, without preconditions) Hezbollah is the terrorist organization sponsored by Iran that has killed more Americans before 9/11 then any other terrorist organization.
McCains response:
'I have some news for Senator Obama: talking, not even with soaring rhetoric... unconditional meetings with a man who calls Israel a “stinking corpse,” and arms terrorists who kill Americans, will not convince Iran to give up its nuclear programs.
It is reckless, it is reckless to suggest that unconditional meetings will advance our interests.
You know, it would be a wonderful thing if we lived in a world where we don’t have enemies. But that’s not the world we live in. And until Senator Obama understands that reality, the American people have every reason to doubt whether he has the strength, judgment, and determination to keep us safe.'
'lance
McCarthyism is here! Terrorists, or anyone that look like them or don't want to kill em, are the new commie. '
Just FYI, 'lance' is an arab who resents the USA, has stated that we had 9/11 coming and that has voiced support for hizbullah, the terrorist organization that killed more Americans before 9/11 then any other.
Of course he wants an appeaser like obama.

George Bush and John McCain equate talking to an enemy who advocates the destruction of our allies as Nazi 'appeasers.' This is clearly aimed at Barrack Obama. Of course, two years ago, McCain was in favor of talking to Hamas. The Soviet Union wanted to destroy our allies and even our own country and Ronald Reagan talked to them. Bush's own Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State advocate talking to Iran. I guess a lot of Nazi 'appeasers' are in the Republican Party also.
old story of colonialism
world view is simple anyone who bears arms is a terrorist everyone must be disarmed and you cant defend yourself unless your part of the puppets goverments
thats the kind of world its all turning into around the world
colonialism never died it simply changed face if thats not true how come the usa created and supported the most amount of dictatorships ? even saddam was a usa stooge so was bin ladin so was saudi arabia and they all have one thing in common usa
south american history is also full of it so is the african history
'McCain was in favor of talking to Hamas.'
Well, no. McCain said he would talk to Hamas only 'if they wanted to become an organization dedicated to peace rather than the extermination of the state of Israel and sponsoring acts of terror.'
In other words, if they would stop being Hamas.
'The Soviet Union wanted to destroy our allies and even our own country and Ronald Reagan talked to them.'
The Russians weren't a religious theocracy run by lunatics who think the world is being run by a 12 year old 'hidden Imam' that has been hiding in a well for 1600 years. (You read it right and I am not making that up.)
' Bush's own Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State advocate talking to Iran.'
Non governmental agencies... not the mullahs.
'I guess a lot of Nazi 'appeasers' are in the Republican Party also.'
Did you just get back from carrying Jimmy Carters bags for his meeting with Hamas?
Thanks khaled... Your support for Obama and terrorism is noted.
'Just FYI, 'lance' is an arab who resents the USA, has stated that we had 9/11 coming and that has voiced support for hizbullah, the terrorist organization that killed more Americans before 9/11 then any other.'
Wow! A smear campaign against me :-) I never knew I was so popular!
Anyway, that proves my point. McCarthyism definitly relies on smear campaigns and ill-conceived fake informants.
... I thought your joke was well done though. Obviously you have a sense of the dramatic.
Bush and McCain criticising Obama's preference for diplomacy over belligerency does not surprise. Bush failed America and the world by using lies to go to war and create a human catastrophe in Iraq. McCain's world view was shaped by another era, where too misguided American belligerency created a human catastrophe in Vietnam.
Obama is playing with the big boys, he`s out of his depth as school dunce.
THE MOUSE THAT ROARS !
Obama is just a weedy unimportant, non-American black man. He has about as much political knowledge as a coconut.
The guy could`nt crush a grape, let alone HIT out at a President who could swat him like a fly.
How these dumbecrats could ever come up with these two mangy choices, is beyond imagination.
Only Hollywood could equal THAT, where EVERY script has to have a WHITE person, a BLACK person, a WOMAN and a PARROT in order to appease the inhabitants of Noah`s Ark.
Actually, come to think about it, the PARROT would probably do better than both of these dummies put together. At least it could talk to Bush-Baby in his own language -
..that may be true, except for the glaring fact that no one is trying to colonize any place that i know of....
By the way, freedom fighters have that one glaring standard they must meet to be called such: interested in someone's freedom.
'Wow! A smear campaign against me :-) I never knew I was so popular!'
Ha! A 'smear campaign' is not needed, you do enough to expose the fact that you are a bigot and a liar. No 'campaign' needed!
I think that christians are no better or worse than muslims.
How does that make me a bigot?
May christians and muslims marry each other.
Peace be with you.
..from your comments, you, somehow, want to attach McCarthyism to republicans. I find this interesting when:
Bill and Hillary obtained over 500 FBI records on their political enemies.
Pardoned Puerto Rican terrorists, who resided in New York, while Hillary was shopping for a district dumb enough to vote her in, when they did not request it.
Allowed Osama Bin Laden to walk when Sudan offered him in shackles.
Fired the US prosecutor who was investigating the White water incident, necessitating a Special Prosecutor.
What does that make Hillary, by your own measurements?
