BHO will make boneheaded mistakes on anything he talks and acts in the first time, just as he will have to explain what he really means every time he opens his mouth.

LAY OFF HIS WIFE!!!

First his wife now this ?? McCain you better watch it with all your remarks, you and the GOP is going to be in trouble when Obama gets mad at you guys lol

Obama, if you want us to lay off your wife, keep her away from the microphone. We'll go after her as long as she keeps bashing America.

In fact, tell HER to quit bashing our country. We're proud to be Americans even if she isn't.

Who in the hell does this guy think he is? I've never seen anyone more arrogant.

no you dont get it we are all supposed to carry around copies of the audacity of hope bound in red leather ,then it can be the little red book II. not likely.

Obama sure is a cocky thing to be so young and "fresh" in this game of politics. It's this kind of attitude and arrogance that will rub most Americans the wrong way. He will lose all 57 states. Lol.

Republican Strategy =
If behind in the polls, and
No new policy ideas, then
Start another WAR.

Well it worked last time...

Most Americans think Iran is a real threat. Obama called that threat "tiny." Right now (speech being broadcast on TV) Obama is "explaining" his very poor choice of words. Yes, words do matter, Obama. Might be why he is READING this portion of his speech so he does not make any more dumb "word" mistakes.

By the way... Obama just completely rewrote the history of the Cuban Missile Crisis to support his viewpoint.

If this is McCain's best shot to win, then he's going to lose this fall. It's only been since Bush that we don't talk to our "enemies". Personally, I'm a fan of 'speak softly and carry a big stick' diplomacy. McCain seems to be saying the converse; it is foolhardy for bellicosity from the current of future President as we simply do not have the manpower to fight another war. Maybe he's planning on reinstating the draft. If those of you here believe so strongly in what McCain is saying, you should consider enlisting (or telling your children to enlist).

Obama has been tanking in the polls since his hissy fit last week. keep it up McCain. They loved his appearance on SNL.

Hmm lets see, if only we had another nation that bordered Iran that was fundamentally opposed to them. Oh wait, we did, Iraq, but we invaded them and destabalized them and made it possible for Iran to exert influence over that country. Oops, our bad. Exactly what is the problem with meeting with that govt. and letting them know where the line is?

and the full text is that Iran is "tiny" in comparison to the former Soviet Union, which it is. Our own intelligence says they are no where near any nuclear capability, and there are serious questions as to any involvement they may have in Iraq.
This is more republican fear mongering.

McCain's a hero...but unfortunately a reckless hawk who stupidly does not see his policies will destroy the country he fought for.

Now thousands who fought as well, for something that has made us less safe, will continue to be used in a dumb and costly war...and if McCain ever pulled an upset... based on the stupid new foreign policy of not talking to our enemies... not only would those soldiers be hurt and less safe...our citizens at home would be...

Obama and his talking heads should lay off Bill and Chelsea then. Fair is fair. The media too for that matter. They are firmly buried in Obama's pocket only because they think he is big news and they can sell more commercial spots to the advertisers. It's all about money as far as the media is concerned.

leftists call anyone who doesn't want to be subservant to every other country a "hawk". Obama is out there in Portland saying how we need the permission of other countries to drive our vehciles, eat our food, and heat/cool our homes.

Obama gave the "wrong answer" on appeasing Iran.in the debate according to Joe Biden.

Funny how 3 Democrats on talk shows yesterday are distancing themselves from Obama's commments.

joh mccain will kill your children! and supports terror in the name of america

Please tell Obama and his supporters that the Soviet Union no longer exists and the Cold War is over. Please tell Obama that JFK did not end the Cuban Missile Crisis by just "talking?" Please tell Obama to quit rewriting history to make his arguments.

Today (especially since 9/11) it is the terrorist threat... a "tiny" group or nation can do much damage. In the context of TODAY... saying that Iran is a "tiny" threat is nonsensical. Is Osama bin Laden also a "tiny" threat?

Obama appears to be the one out-of-touch with reality. Did he lose his bearings... again?

And may I remind the presumed Democratic nominee.... "It's the economy, Stupid."

Battling McCain on foreign policy is a sure LOSER for Obama in the general election.

Both need to chill out with the comments. I know it won't stop, its all just slander. Don't vote for a person baised on what some reverend, or wife says, or how old they are, vote for them for what they believe. So everyone just stop being so melodramatic and chill.

In response to Democrats United...

So Michelle Obama... because she is African American and has experienced racism get a special pass for her American views....which many appear to coincide with Wright? Have you read her thesis? Do you really know what she believes?

And as I and others already pointed out... How hypocritical is it to demand "hands off" on a potential First Lady when the Obamas have no compunction about going after Hillary's spouse?

Oh, yeh... I forgot... Clinton Rules vs. Obama Rules. Different strokes for different folks.

From Bush's mouth to McCain's lips. Same ole, same ole, fear and smear.

fat cat

obama wants to end the war and loss of life, where as bush and mccain are for more killing, so

i guess you need to come up with a better argument

How many soldiers died from the threat of the former Soviet Union, Mr. BHO?

fat cat, Iraq was NO threat to us and IS no threat to us. The 4000 dead were killed by Bush and company to further THEIR agenda.

The Reps go on and on about who we should be afraid of, yet they neveer point to the main source of funding and personel for the terrorist movements in the region, the Saudi's Nearly every major terrorist leader is a saudi or has significant ties to saudi families. Why is that? The 9/11 rap is over and done. The republicans blew 9/11. They failed to do ANYTHING significant in response to 9/11. The person who was the mastermind behind it is still free. The Organization that executed it is stronger than ever. We are not safer.

I know Obama and his supporter keep trying to tie Foreign Policy (National Security/Terrorism) to Iraq (much like Bush did but with different justifications).

McCain polls up to 40 points above Obama on Foreign Policy.

Obama polls above McCain on Iraq.

For some reason, the American public differentiates between the two.

fat Cat,

Allow me to provide you with a little perspective...

War with Iraq has been fought for five years and over 4000 American Soldiers were killed.

World War 2 was fought for 3 years (by America) and over 400,000 American soldiers were killed. Vietnam was saw over 58,000 American lives lost, most of it during its escalated fighting, which lasted about 7 years.

So, No, Iraq is insignificant compared to other threats like the old Soviet Union which had the power to wipe the US off the map.

bhrandon,

It is BHO's lack of understanding of national security that matters - not who started a war or who is to end a war.

A threat is not measured by the size of a country, or the power of wiping you out, completely. The power of wiping you out is in fact a less threat because they understood they will be wiped out too.

Americans lost most lives in countries that "don't pose a serious threat to us" according to the un-experienced phony.

Osama bin Ladin is even smaller in size than anything BHO would considered big enough to pose a threat the US or the world. So, he will think and take them lightly.

How dangerous is this phony going to get???

Perhaps, he will explain again, what he really meant is that size does not matter.

Nickberry,

Ok, The reason that Obama mentioned the Soviet Union, as you probably already know, is because he wanted to point out that The leaders in the United States MUST "Talk" (read: Not appease) with the tyrants of the World.

Iran's leader is a antisemetic tyrant, But there is a difference between talking to him and stating your positions well, face to face, than appeasing them.

Furthermore, I am willing to fully admit that after reading through the History Books that Kennedy "appeased" the Soviet Union, but only after they "appeased" the United States first. It's called a negotion and it was one that was necessary to prevent the unimaginable. If they hadn't done that and used Bush/McCain style cowboy diplomacy, You and I would not still be here discussing it.

Do you BHO national security advisers really believe that the former Soviet Union was more likely to push the "Nuke-button" than Iran does today, if Iran had nuclear weapons?

Is this your phony hypocrite's understanding of level of threat to the National Security?

On the contrary, HRC will obliterate them, which is a policy happened to be supported by Joe Biden.

fat cat,

This argument is even more ridiculous. First of all, if Iran had Nuclear weapons, we'd be more willing to talk to them, like we were doing with North Korea when they gained Nuclear Technology. That is what they are fighting for... Respect.

Secondly, Even IF Iran gained nuclear power, they would be just as scared to use them against the US as The Soviet Union was. Their missle would probable be intercepted (assuming they had the tech to launch a trans-atlantic attack) and we would be bombing them back to the stone age.

DemocratsUnited -

Are you serious?

Iran declared that they want Israel wiped out of the map. It is Obama's lack understanding of the basic, fundamental issues concerning national and world security that scares me.

This level of threat measured by size of a country is purely unacceptable, completely disqualified as a president, or even a US senator.

How can a phony like this get to this stage!?

We do and have talked with Iran and worse under Bush. This is an idiot line of talk. McCain must be worried that they will take him hostage and put him in a Tiger Cage.

What is cry-baby-obama crying about this time? Let's see, is it because someone played a tape of the hateful things his wife said and somehow it is someone else's fault? He really should have some wine with his brie.

The hatemonger from Iran was allowed to come here and spew his nonsense to NYU, one of the Obama-loving liberal colleges. and he still threatens to blow Israel off the map. peacenik fanatsies are a FAILURE

Under a pres Clinton, Iran will not have nuclear weapons. Under Obama, he would talk with them and beg them not to use nuclear weapons as if they will listen to him if he sits down around a table.

He might be able to fool some people by his feeling-good speeches; it's scary he really thinks he could fool with dictators.

pt - maybe you are also favoring no votes for women?? Is this the best you can do to defeat McCain? by disqualifying him because of his age? Perhaps, you want to exclude anyone from voting, or not counting their votes as BHO favors already in MI and FL, if they do not vote for BHO.

It sounds like a typical BHO philosophy.

Do people not realize that every time Obama speaks he really doesn't say anything substantial? He is already acting like he has won the nomination? Also that he lacks the political experience to handle foreign leaders? There is something fishy about this whole election this year. I would much rather have Hillary as President and I can't stand her.
