Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the 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 I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided."
The above was part of a speech President Bush made in Israel, and it now has the Democrats in an uproar, they are claiming that the statement was aimed at presidential hopeful Obama, nowhere did I hear President Bush refer too Obama. Maybe, just maybe this statement is too close to Obama’s position on terror. Obama has stated in the past that he would welcome sitting down with the lunatic fringe that now rules Iran. This in my opinion is appeasement. One of Obama’s spokespersons said it was outrageous for a president or other official to go to a foreign soil, and say something like this. But, I fail to remember the screams of terror, shame and outrage when a few American senators did exactly the same thing, but they were not speaking of Israel, they were speaking of the lack of intelligence and incompetence of the sitting president of the United States.
Senator Biden said the statement was pure Bullsh*t. How is it that Biden knows this?
Was it his idea and Obama stole it from him? How’s it feel Joe? Someone stole a idea you may have conjured up in your mind, after all you seem comfortable with plagiarism, which happens to mean stealing speeches and other things other people write and you claim as your own. Joe, you seem to have a great penchant for this type of activity. When I see you on the Senate floor blustering one of your speeches, I now tend to look for the puppet master lines that make your mouth operate.
Now, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi made the following statement, which shocked me like a live wire.
She said: that Bush's remarks were "beneath the dignity of the office of the president and unworthy of our representation" This is something I thought I’d never live to see and hear, a Democrat using the words dignity and office of the president in the same sentence. We sure didn’t hear it when slick Willie was caught with his pants down, giving ‘special’ instructions to an intern. As a matter of fact, if memory serves correct, Pelosi and her fellow states persons actually defended his action, not to mention his failure to honor the oath to the grand jury to tell the truth.
Jimmy Carter didn’t show dignity when he held the office of the president, as a matter of fact, I doubt Carter knows the meaning of the word.
As Pelosi was speaking, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel issued a statement in which he said: "The tradition has always been that when a U.S. president is overseas, partisan politics stops at the water's edge. President Bush has now taken that principle and turned it on its head: for this White House, partisan politics now begins at the water’s edge, no matter the seriousness and gravity of the occasion. Does the president have no shame?” I wonder if this theory also applies to former presidents? If so I think the DNC should spend a few bucks to send telegrams to Carter and Clinton, as they have been known to go onto foreign soil and denigrate the sitting president.
What I’m really waiting for is Ted Kennedy’s remarks about this statement. After all, he knows all about appeasement, his father tried to get British PM Chamberlain to acquiescence to Hitler’s demands to rule all of europe with his demented mind set. I eagerly await Kennedy’s condemnation of President Bush’s speech. It should be quite interesting to see how he does this, while trying to distance himself from his father’s position. Maybe if his staff can sober him up enough to speak in whole sentences we’ll find out, but I’m not taking any bets of his staff’s ability to accomplish this amazing feat.
All President Bush did was say the obvious, and quote a former senator, William Edgar Borah (June 29, 1865 near Fairfield, Illinois – January 19, 1940 Washington, D.C.), a Republican, BTW. Seems partisan to me, huh?
