Right, because Bush's policy of shoot now, talk later has worked beautifully. Btw, how are those House elections coming along, President?

Obama scares the hell out of me. I listened to his speech in Michigan last night, and he cannot possibly expect to deliver what he is promising. He'd bankrupt this country. Of course, we'll be destroyed by then anyway, so who cares? McCain is no conservative, but at least he will keep my family relatively safe at home, and that is what matters.

But Obama DID say he wanted to negotiate with terrorists. Launching an attack on Bush does not change that fact.

It seems now that all our leaders have to swear allegiance to a foreign country before they can have any legitimacy in the US. When are our leaders going to wake up to the fact that Israel's interests are not = to US interests? Probably never.

Perhaps the solution is to throw them all out and let the president, congress, etc take permanent residence in the Knesset.

I love this theme that Obama will talk to our enemy. But yet he won't go on Fox News. What a brave man.

Obama knows he blundered when saying he'd negotiate with Iran, as if it would make them like us or something. Message for Barack: Iran hates us. Force is the only thing they understand.

What a mature way to deal with people who threaten you. Instead of speaking to them as peers, you point guns at them. Then you duck and scream when they point guns back at you. Foreign policy should not be conducted the same way as high school politics.

By the way, how many of you Americans have been attacked at home since 9/11? Must be because the terrorist aren't trying. Wake up you losers.

I voted for Bush twice and I am proud of it

Talking is okay as a first resort. It just has to be backed up with some stones, clearly, which Obama does not possess.

Dave I'm not sure you have been paying attention. The country is bankrupt. Your boy has borrowed anouther 4 trillion dollars. I would rather go bankrupt giving health care to americans than giving cash and blood to our enemies.

Obama is so clueless it's staggering!

So when the President of the United States is giving a speech somewhere, he is actually speaking in code to Obama? I don’t which is more dangerous, Obama’s arrogance, or his paranoia.

Carter tried to talk to Middle East Terrorist and it never got our hostages released. He even tried it recently talking to Hamas, maybe the Pres speech was directed at Both Obama and Carter? Either way Islamic terrorist have plainly said join Islam or Die and Die if you are a Jew so how is talking to them going to change their minds on that?

Scoreboard:
Magic number needed to win 2025

Obama's state wins 32 lost 17, Delegate count 1890 +/-.

Clinton's state wins 17 lost 32,
Delegate count 1713 +/-.

Hey Jon,
Obama was on Fox News Sunday on April 27.
Thanks for joining us.

OTE: JOHN MCCAIN, the only sane vote for true Americans. A true war hero, patriot in the Oval Office.
Amen! justme2see

I like the comment from WH spokesperson, Perino: " I know when you are running for office you think the whole world revolves around you......". For some reason the old Carly Simon song comes to mind - "You're So Vain".

How much foreign policy experience does Obama have? Oh yeah, ZERO! As a matter of fact, He hasn't really done anything, ever. NOTHING. But he can give a good speech though, right? Wise up folks, you're letting your hatred of Bush cloud your judgement.

Yeah Tina, Bush is right. If we refuse to use dipolmacy, invade carelessly, squander our treasure on corrupt officials we place as head of foriegn governments and change our way of life, liberty and laws, then we'll have defeated terrorism. Vote republican, vote more of the same.

Even though I am a conservative Republican, Bush has no credibility to criticize anyone! He has devastated our country! Heaven help whoever is our next President. He or she must bring this country back together and clean up the horrendous mess that they will inherit.

A vote for Obama is just plain stupid.

Obama stands for higher taxes, no guns, and abortion on demand, just to name three.

The crap he spewed about a mandatory retirement account matched by the government is un-frigin' believable! Who's going to pay for that crap?

Just look at the taxes he'll be piling on with this nonsense!

Talk to Iran? What good has come of that? Thanks to Carter, it's like talking to a wall.

There is undeniable evidence that Iran is killing American troops in Iraq. Iran was in complete control of the Beirut Lebanon terrorist uprising. They are funding and arming the two terrorist groups, as well as Syria, surrounding Israel. They are creating havoc in any way they can to become the regional power in the middle east. If they get a nuclear weapon, they will be 200 times harder to cotrol...... So Obama wants to pull out of the middle east immediately and create a void for Iran to fill ---- not too bright Barack!!

OMG!WTF?

You know he only did that as a desperate attempt to get control of the situation after his racist pastor continued his racist rants. If not for that, he would not go near Fox News.

No solar energy development, drilling or nuclear plants results in wars, devaluation of dollar, high energy prices and disaster. None of these candidates has agreed to solve this problem, not even McCAin. None of them get it. 20 years of this policy and everybody can see and feel the results.

VOTE: JOHN MCCAIN, the only sane vote for true Americans. A true war hero, patriot in the Oval Office.
Amen! justme2see

I voted for Bush twice before and would happily do so again without thinking.

Dave, Obama can't bankrupt this country. George Bush already has. Our trillions of dollars in deficit is GWB's fault. How can you equate bankrupting this country and keeping your family safe? That makes no sense. But, if GWB "alternate older brother" gets in office, at least your family would be safe...in a cage. Is that where you want to be? In a cage? We used to be able to travel this world freely as Americans. No longer thanks to your buddy GWB.

Having an Islamic background, Obama should know that appeasement approaches will only be viewed as weaknesses. Make no mistake about it, countries that are Islamic are not secular in nature, but religious. As an example here in the U.S. just look at what CAIR has done. The entire purpose of the Islamic political agenda is about eradicating Isreal and enforcing Islam on the rest of the world. Islam grew by the sword, and is still using it to further its goals. How far off the beaten path is any religion that not only espouses, but indoctrinates its younger generation into suicide? There are no radical muslims, nor are there any moderate muslims. There are only muslims who follow the dictates of their mullah.

Face it the truth hurts Barak...as the saying goes, Those that do not learn from history are destined to repeat it.

Barak wouldn't be so defensive it he didn't feel deep down that what President Bush said is true.

Oh yes... let's vote for McCain, the walking goiter. Someone his age should spend his time playing bingo and picking dried food off his bib, not running this country.

Obama sure is defensive. Bush didnt even say his name and he freaked out..must have a bit of guilty concious about this.

Who listens to Bush or Cheney any way? Who cares what these failures have to say about any thing? McCain too!

Jon...if you listen to Fox at all O'Reilly announced that Obama is going on as soon as the nominee is decided. He is waiting until either he or Hillary have the "nod". At least he is respecting her and letting this run it's course...

Obama is a trip, anything said against anything he says is deflected to be "racist", "politics of fear", blah blah blah

November should be interesting, cause this guy really has not been vetted at all as of yet. Most Americans barely pay attention to the primaries. I fear that the whole Wright things and lack of hand over the heart stuff (google Obama & pledge) will do him harm in the general election. This is where Hillary would have been better for the General election. Most Americans want a president that hands down loves this country and will do anything to protect it.

Obama HUSSEIN will destroy this country if he gets in!

We have been "negotiating" with terrorists and their supporters for three decades. For our efforts, American interests have been attacked over 15 times since then, culminating in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Bush changed the "tone" of the talk and we haven't been hit since.

Obama forgets that Iran has steadily grown stronger and Democrats voice of opposition grows louder.

if Obama is elected commercial planes will be flown into buildings??????????

Oh wait they did that already under BUsh remember!!!!!!!!1

Why won't Obama be thoroughly interviewed about his relationship w/Rev Wrong?

I've decided as an American, the progressives are right - libs like Tina aren't worth fighting for and she is deserving of sharia law. Cowards like her certainly isn't worth the risk of losing one military man so I say bring them all on home.

Al Queda, your welcome mat awaits. And this time, don't worry about retaliation. Tina wants to talk nice and she takes the blame for your anger.

Vote Obambi 2008! Women, one burka size fits all!

"We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939"!!! Who does this lying piece of garbage think he is? His own grandfather was Hitler's biggest financial supporter and his father and his ideals are right inline with Adolph Hitlers. George Bush, you are a menace to the free world and have caused more damage to the world than any terrorist could ever dream up.

Well, we have come full circle. What goes around, certainly does come around and George Bush is out there slinging his old lies again and trying to scare people. What the hell does he care. In less that 250 days he will be out of office and can give up his war time sacrifice and start playing golf again.

The fact that people actually fall for this crap is amazing. Of course he was taking a shot at Obama and anyone else who might think first before they invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.

Israel has negotiated with Iran for years, why shouldn't we?

The scariest person is Hillary Clinton. She takes both sides -- Bush and Obama's. Then give her a minute to make up a story as to why she shouldn't be blamed because it's someone else's fault because they misled her and she didn't have the time to read the intelligence report that was presented to her because maybe her dog ate it. She'd be panicing, looking for Bill in all hours of the night, while he was sleeping with one of his girlfriends.
I'm just glad it's not her.

Earth to BO, the world doesn't revolve around you, get the chip off your shoulder.

Earth to BO, the world doesn't revolve around you, get the chip off your shoulder.

Robert,
Are you really going with that? That's the best you can come up with? Seriously?

Greg...I guess you didn't hear the interview...Bush said some of the most ridiculous and insulting things. He insulted our troops, the people of this country and made himself look like a total fool...

Ballen --- you act as if the lack of drilling or nuclear plants is the administration's fault --- check out history --- who passed the laws making it almost impossible to drill or create nuclear plants? The envirnmentalists pushed their Democratic congressmen to pass those laws.

I think the President is right on this one. History has proven that you cannot make deals with terrorists because they will not honor their promises. If Obama does not understand this, he is not qualified to be the Commander in Chief of the United States. We must vote for McCain for our own safety.

I voted for Bush twice before and would happily do so again without thinking.....

And let me hear you complain about Gas prices, or the economy.

Bush giving advice on diplomatic policy! HA, this has to be a joke.

The idea that we shouldnt talk to our enemies is juvenile. Thats the way we thought in 7th grade.

Since when did talking to your enemies become a bad thing? Seriously, this foreign policy of Bush's is a disaster and makes America look ridiculous. I am so ready for something new.

I voted for him twice, financially supported him twice. I can NOT support a continuation of his policies.

Bush - Not my President.

Obama, you protest alittle quick there. Bush wasn't talking about you...just those like Carter that think Hamas is a peaceful group.

Obama had just better get used to this type of stuff. This is, after all, the big league where real grown-ups play hardball. If he can't stand the heat and is this paranoid already, then he should just get out of the kitchen. This is going to be such an enjoyable ride. Can't wait for his total downfall. It will be well deserved and long overdue.

BKL said:Dave I'm not sure you have been paying attention. The country is bankrupt. Your boy has borrowed anouther 4 trillion dollars. I would rather go bankrupt giving health care to americans than giving cash and blood to our enemies.

Some of us BKL believe that when America is attacked that we should actually fight back. Some of us actually believe America is worth fighting for.

Yes,
How dare Bush remove a ruthless dictator, the Taliban, and put every terrorist on the planet on the run. What nerve he has?

______________

You realize he did go on Fox News, right?

Gee, both Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton promise to bring troops home. We'll see what happens. Political talk is cheap and dirty, but if either is lucky enough to be elected, they will face the same options and choices on terrorism as President Bush. Let their actions and the repercussions that will surely follow tell the story of their sincerity and their "wisdom."

"Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists".

WHAT? Obama himself he would hold un-conditional talks with Iran's President, the man who has said he would nuke Israel, drive the rest of the Jews into the ocean, and come after us next. Obama has declared he believes Iraq ought to invite the guy into Baghdad and allow Iran to have a part/say in the future of Iraq. Sounds like Bush is 'spot-on' regarding Obama, the man who accused our own troops of targeting and killing women and children in Afghanistan!

Which alternate reality are you living in Jon? Obama was on FoxNews a couple of weeks back with Chris Wallace.

obamma is a foreign policy disaster waiting to happen.

Obama's mama's melodrama becomes our nightmare.

Does Bush really not see that everyone outside of this country sees him as the total TOOL he is?

Why isn't the media reporting all the "offers" to Iran to solve the nuclear weapons issue? You all sound like Obama is the only one who could "negotiate". We have agreed to BUILD them a nuclear power plant in exchange for some control over the enriching of the nuclear material. Iran could easily obtain what they CLAIM they want --- but they really want a nuclear weapon.

I don't care what party the next President comes from as long as he has a level of intelligence greater than a toad. Eight years of "leadership" from a retarded guy (that I regretfully voted for) has laid waste to this country's coffers and respectability. Excluding Bush's cronies, are any of us better off now than when this walking disaster came into office?

Nobody can bankrupt this country like Bush did and McCain will continue to do!

Obama thought Bush was talking about him! HAHAHA. Obama clearly associated Bush's comments with his own beliefs which means Obama inadvertently acknowledged that he is an appeaser. What a fool!

George M: "obamma is a foreign policy disaster waiting to happen."

lol... and George Bush's foreign policy is peaches? I'm a lifelong Republican and I'm ready for something new.

Obama is not the cure; he is the disease.

Were you thinking the first two times?

Bush - not my President.
:(

John - bankrupt this country? You liberals love to use fear mongering to win an election especially in light that the last 2 quarters the economy has actually grown and unemployment has dropped - unlike the last 2 quarters of the Clinton administration.

I know you guys love power for power's sake but you do realize that lying will not get you there?

Obama's strategy of appeasing terrorists does not work. History has shown this over and over. This should scare people even more than him sitting in front of a racist anti-american congregation for 20 years.

The President is right. Obama and the Democrats on the left need a reality check. Anyone who thinks that if you only ask Iran politely, that they will come to the conclusion that Israel has a right to exist in peace is delusional. They are a country that sponsors terror. That makes them criminals. Criminals commit crimes because they are ignorant, bigoted or just don’t care. Expecting them to be rational is another form of ignorance. You need to understand the government of Iran hates Israel and the United States. They want to kill its citizens. To let them have a nuclear weapon would be the height of stupidity. If Obama can't see that he is gambling with the lives of Israelis and Americans.

Bush contrasting himself from Barack Obama = Best thing that could happen for Barack Obama.

I cannot believe the cruel, degrading and downright insulting things people are saying about Obama. He is trying to pull this country together, just as Hillary is, why so mean...we all have our opinion, but use some common sense and respect.

The 32% of America that approve's of George Bush's job will clearly be persuaded by his arguments against Barack Obama.

I'm not a fan of any of the three main candidates, but the only one who has it right is McCain. You can argue, and I'll agree with you, that we shouldn't have invaded Iraq in the first place, but now that we are there, you are just plain stupid if you think a sudden withdrawal will be the answer. This is not Vietnam. You are handing Iran the worlds second largest petroleum reserves if we cut and run now. Every 82 days in the U.S. the same amount of citizens die from car accidents as the total number of troops that have died for the entire Iraq war so far. So I'm tired of the intellectually lazy lefts 'bring the troops home' B.S. If anything we should get a couple of hundred thousand more troops over there, weed out the classroom general types running things in Iraq, listen to our troops on the ground, and quash this thing once and for all. So sayeth Biffula.

cindyct,
Name ONE thing Obama has done to unite the country? ONE?

LOL yeah after Chris called him on stalling for months.....he even started an "Obama Watch" count the time that had elapsed since Obama originally promised to go on the show. LOL guess Obama was worried about feeling out of his element, knowing he might be asked some tough questions from a reported that wasn't part of the ABC cheerleader squad.

Any criticism, veiled or obvious, of Obama by Bush is helpful.It could be worse. Bush could be endorsing him .

700 BILLION spent on a foolish war and Taxcuts for the rich!"

Amazing how ignorant people can be.. oh well, people like you reelected the clown we have now!

Who supports Obama?

- Those who believe in nothing will believe anything.

Hey Rich5!!!!!!!!! If something is not working why do you keep doing the same thing.

80% of the population including REPUBLICAns think this economy is going to hell. You really thinks that Republicans have a chance this fall. you must be living in a parallel universe.
Maverick indeed.

I have read everyone of these posts and it seems like America has nothing but stupid uneducated people posting on these sites. All of you need to find something better to do than this.

Why is Obama assuming this is about him? When I read Bush's statements I figured he was referring to Jimmy Carter. I think Obama is gun shy after having been dragged in the mud for the last month (rightfully so) that he feels the entire world is against him.

Reading these comments only further cements the idea that Americans are selfish, manipulative, and uncaring.

I wanted pro-life judges and I got 2 of them in Bush
