Obama criticizes McCain, Bush on appeasement talk

Barack Obama is criticizing Republican rival John McCain and President Bush for "dishonest and divisive" attacks in hinting that the Democratic presidential candidate would appease terrorists.

[Joe]

Once again, if you disagree with Obama you are charged with divisiveness. That is not a defense to a criticism. That's demagoguery. As far as McCain's hypocracy. His words do not mention that the President would give Hamas the time of day as Obama would. It also sounds like McCain is clear about the agenda of any diplomatic talks.
The protection of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
"I think the lesson is people want security and a decent life and decent future, that they want democracy." I'm sure he does not believe Hamas provides that.

Why is this news? Why won't the article tell you exactly what Obama has said? Poor little Barry has his words come back to haunt him and he can't stand it. How dare a Democrat be held accountable for anything! Don't you know they can say what they want, do what they want, and don't have to worry about the press reminding anyone what they just said. Now, as we see here, Republicans are accorded no such luxury. EVERYTHING they have ever said about anything will be instantly regurgitated and all will be reminded of it. The Democrats don't have to worry about this. Talking down the economy for 6 straight years? No problem! Say what you want, any time anywhere anyhow, and the non-biased, non-partisan media will be there to provide cover.

This is a Fascist Media aching to take control. Be very very afraid. The takeover is almost complete and will happen so fast nobody realizes it. And they won't until you are arrested for opposing gay marriage (hate speech, you know), forced at stickpoint to join a union (workers freedom, you know), pay $10 a gallon for gas (the environmentalists' position for decades), and have the UN, Code Pink & MoveOn.org determine US foreign policy (non-unilateralism, you know).

be very afraid. it can happen here and almost has. and this newspaper will be there holding the flowers that hides their guns. aimed at you.

James Rubin, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama are all making a mountain out of a molehill.

First of all, Bush's remarks were clearly aimed at Iran. He was not jabbing at Obama to help McCain. Bush and McCain are in the same party, but they are not really on the same team.

The democrats and the media are creating a false story so that they can score points for Obama without taking any real risks.

Clearly, Obama is not ready to be president of the United States. The fact that he is close to getting the democratic nomination, indicates that the people that tried to keep blacks and women from voting in past generations, were very wise indeed.

[Mar]

Yes, it's all about Obama. A man too afraid to go on Fox News, a man so full of himself that he thinks Bush MUST be addressing his remarks at him - don't worry Sweetie, there ARE other people in the world.

[JMullen]

So, when an opponent says something about Obama, it's simply divisive. However, when Obama says something about an opponent it's simply objective criticism?! Yeah, sure..., elitism at its finest indeed!

And we are supposed to believe this is someone who is dedicated to uniting the country?

LOL, that moron is one to talk about appeasement, while he is over in Saudi Arabia on bended knee to the princes and kings of the house of Saud. Speaking of Saudi Arabia, will Bush bring back Osama with him? I won't hold my breath.

Oh and Mar, the reason Obama won't go on Faux News is because it's a propaganda outlet, not a credible news organization. To appear there would them legitimacy that they don't deserve. I wish every Democrat would boycott Fox. They can keep Alan Colmes and Susan Estrich, two faux dems for a faux news organization. A perfect match if there ever was one.

Yeah I like MSNBC - there's a responsible news outlet. They are VERY fair and balanced, unlike Fox, who has an equal number of conservs & repubs represented. I don't want any opposing point of view. I want to have my info rammed right down my throat so I'm certain I don't have to think. Let me just hate in peace and pass the MSNBC please, I need a refill.

That's it Crapola, you are spot on. Fox news, where you can hear the right vs the extreme right. Now that's what I call "fair and balanced" LOL

[Dave]

J. J. Lawrence, the real moron just posted a statement that clearly shows how stupid you are. I don't think President Bush was on his hands and knees in Saudi Arabia. Now, you take Mr. Obama, he was clearly on his knees for 20 years listening and condoning racism and anti-American with his past Pastor. You know the one who first his "Uncle" and after becoming a political liability was disgusting. Better get your facts straight before running your mouth off. You didn't see any terrorist attacks on America soil for 8 years. Just wait if this incompetent latent racist gets into office. Yes, he is a latent racist because he set in his former church for 20 years and heard it.

[Chevy]

Obama is so naive and does not understand foreign affairs and the challenges the USA faces in the world everyday. President Bush was speaking as our President and not a political candidate. We should all be proud of the stance President Bush has taken to keep us safe from another attack since 9/11.

Fox News has way more libs than the other networks have conservatives, that's for sure.

Obama did go on Fox news.

[Watchman81]

Actually, what President Bush said in his speech at the Knesset was directed more at Jimmy Carter more than Obama. Jimmy Carter was the one who met with Hamas and said it was the most fun he's had. The truth is, Obama is naive and blind to the threat we face from Islamofascism. The fact that he would meet with Iran and Syria among others without preconditions just shows his naivete. These people will not respect words. They respect strength. Obama's willingness to show weakness by pulling our troops out of Iraq before we accomplish our mission is only going to embolden them.

What is McCain's view today? I have a hard time keeping up with the changes. Vote 3rd party.

I think he went on the FOX Sunday morning show. FoxNews is a cable channel, and FOX is an over the air channel.

Obama is not afraid to go on FoxNews, but he probably thinks that most of their viewers will not be voting for him anyway, and television people can edit programs in a way that can give his political opponents material to use against him in the future.

Obama is protected by the mainstream media. It is very important to them that he becomes president. His mom was white and his dad was black, and this theme fits in nicely with the media, movies, music, etc theme of ethnically cleansing of the white people in America.

Protected by the mainstream media?? I love learning about why he bowls with a tie on or what his favorite color is. I would much rather know that than his stance on foreign policy or gay marriage. Yes....that is sarcasm.)
