That I can agree with, and I doubt very seriously Obama does either.

Interesting, the most upset I have seen this guy is when he interpreted Bush as accusing him of being an appeaser. He thinks everything now is about him. Bush may not have even been thinking about him first and foremost, he may have been thinking about the likes of Jimmy Carter. Obama is not upset about Wrights statements about blankety blank America, and so on, no, the great Reverend Wright is taken out of context, he has done so many wonderful things, but boy I can sense the anger in Obama's voice now when he talks about Bush and McCain.

I think Obama is coming apart at the seams, there is a sensitive spot there, a weak spot, and he knows people are finding it now. He cites Truman, JFK, and Reagan among his examples for foreign policy, whoaa, now that is a stretch for sure. He expects us to believe that?

Direct question okie: Do you seriously believe that Bush's comments were not directed at Obama? Yes, or No?

I'm ready for georgeob1 to call me a bully because I ask direct questions. I'm also pretty prepared for your answer.

I don't honestly know, Diest. I actually think he was directing his comments toward the school of thought, including the many individuals that may be buying into that school of thought. If an individual was at the top of the list, I honestly think Jimmy Carter fit it the best, as he was talking directly to terrorists. He purposely did not name names, he was talking about an approach that he rightly said has shown to fail in history.

It was Obama that interpreted his statements to be directed at him, which is revealing in and of itself, because Obama knows what he had said, which I think contradicts what he now claims he has said. Obama needs to grow up. This is not kid stuff anymore, this is serious foreign policy as the most influential leader of the free world, and it directly affects billlions of people. If anything, Obama should be agreeing with Bush instead of getting angry at Bush. Remember, Obama hesitated at first to condemn Carter as well. Obama is very suspect in regard to his attitudes and foreign policy toward terrorist organizations, states, and toward Israel. And he knows this, and is hypersensitive to any comments that he thinks might be even remotely criticizing him. But the time has come where he can no longer ride the fence forever and triangulate all different kinds of positions on issues in an effort to be all things to all people. He needs to take a position. And interestingly, he shows the most energy and animation in repudiating Bush. That tells me something, and it should be telling you something. It means all of this is about him, not the American people and what is in our best interests.

Right now we are sending many millions to North Korea and Pakistan. Are we appeasing them?

You also have to define "appeasement". Holding talks with a country is not appeasement. Granting unilateral concessions to hopefully halt undesirable behavior is appeasement. I seriously doubt Obama would do that.

One could argue an immediate withdrawal of our troops, unconditionally, would be appeasement. This may be a likely course of action for Obama. He is campaiging on this issue of removing troops in 16 months.

Getting occupying troops out of a country we shouldn't be occupying is common sense. You could spin this as appeasment since the insurgents are committing what we would call undesirable behavior (resisting our occupation), but at the end of the day, we're in the wrong in Iraq.

I dunno. BrandX's last post got a well defined chuckle from me.

Another misused word, "appeasement"! Please look it up! Bush should never use it, since he doesn't read and his speech writers make him look more stupid, because everyone KNOWS, he's as DUMB as a POST!

Please enlighten us, teenyboone. How has Bush misused the word "appeasement"?

No, I'm very dissatisfied. You said he used the term against Dems, but you haven't explained how he misused the term.
