Bush cowboys up

Right after I go on a rant about the President not going on the offense and taking it to the democrats, he cowboys up big time… Heh.

Speaking in Israel to the Knesset, President Bush made the following comment…

“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along . . . We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

How do you know when Bush says the right thing? The democrats express “outrage”

Admitted plagiarist Joe Biden called it “bullshit”, as every prominent democrat raced to the microphones to denounce the President’s words.

Atta boy Mr. President! More, please.

  1. Right freakin’ on! A true signal that your doing something right is when your opponent is pissed!

  2. I’ve been proud of W all day long for his excellent speech, and it was most excellent.
    I was just looking at a IBD piece.

    “The lady doth protest too much, methinks” is the famous Hamlet quote referring to pleas of innocence that actually indicate guilt. Did Obama, the near-certain Democratic Party nominee for president, “protest too much” in complaining about Bush’s speech to Israel’s Knesset on Thursday?

    Addressing lawmakers in Jerusalem in a special session of the legislature commemorating the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the state of Israel, the president made comments with which few Americans could find fault.

    BTW, B-HO says he has never supported engagement with terrorist. Really? Forget much?
    How about this video from a debate?
    And from B-HO’s website.

    Diplomacy: Obama is the only major candidate who supports tough, direct presidential diplomacy with Iran without preconditions. Now is the time to pressure Iran directly to change their troubling behavior. Obama would offer the Iranian regime a choice. If Iran abandons its nuclear program and support for terrorism, we will offer incentives like membership in the World Trade Organization, economic investments, and a move toward normal diplomatic relations. If Iran continues its troubling behavior, we will step up our economic pressure and political isolation. Seeking this kind of comprehensive settlement with Iran is our best way to make progress.

    Talk to our Foes and Friends: Obama is willing to meet with the leaders of all nations, friend and foe. He will do the careful preparation necessary, but will signal that America is ready to come to the table, and that he is willing to lead. And if America is willing to come to the table, the world will be more willing to rally behind American leadership to deal with challenges like terrorism, and Iran and North Korea’s nuclear programs.

    Yes, the lady doth protest entirely too much.

  3. B-HMO is a whiney little pussy. If he gets this upset about a general statement it tells a lot about his integrity. Bush has been called everything but a human being in the last 7 years, and has kept his cool, sometimes to my chagrin. I don’t agree with him as much as I used to, but I’m really going to miss the dignity he brought back to the Whitehouse. It will surely not be the same whomever wins in November.

  4. Whomever? Whoever? Which is correct…

  5. whomever…..I like that. gives the place some class

  6. I liked it better also.

    (this place has plenty of class though)

  7. Except maybe for the fart article above….
