How do you know he wasn't referring to Carter? Why are you such a liberal news station?

Joe (I am no-statesman) Biden came out and said that these statements were "Bullshit".
Way to go projecting your professionalism around the world moron.

There is no hinting that Obama is an appeaser,He is.It's the same old demo rat story.Instead of confronting the bad guys they appease them or ask for a permission slip from the useless orginazation better known as the U.N..He has already stated that he wants to lend credibility to terrorists by negotiating with them.If this liberal elite is elected we had better hope Israel has the bals to stop Iran's nukes because Osama Obama definatly won't.

Appears that too many people (including Prez Goober) don't know the difference between "appeasement" and "diplomacy".

You need to take your whiney butt to a 3rd world country and see how most of the rest of the world scratches out an existance.
Everthing is too high because the $$$$ is worthless.

Better yet, gmsan should go back to the school from which he dropped out. I cringe when I read how illiterate some people are. The bad thing is that his ignorance badly discredits him.

gmsan, seriously...go back to school.

As for the news article, Bush wasn't talking about Obama, but it seems that Obama felt like the shoe certainly did fit. It's crazy, but by coming out and defending himself, he actually condemns himself!

Actually I think you need to go to Cuba where your far left views will be welcomed by your communist friends.

So if you don't believe in far left marxist ideology then I am a racist. It's moronic screaming (ALL CAPS) "usefull idiots" (look that one up comrade)that will not have an intelligent debate with anyone over issues. This type of screaming insanity is going to keep obama out of offfice. I grew up in Northern Illinois.
What the fuck has Obama done to make anyone in Chicago's life better. Hell Oprah has done more for Chi-town than Obama could do with 20 years in the senate. The Daley machine just keeps on churning out the rabid idiots.

PORK Pork pork...that's what is loaded up into all these bills. Open your eye's the corruption flows down both sides of the Ailse. Im not gonna defend Bush on a lot of his past fuckups but Im not gonna elevate Obama to godlike status. At least Both the Bush Brothers were succesfull Governors that ran some of the largest state budgets. I would feel better about barack if he did anything more than grassroots comm. service and some political campaighning.
Heck even McCain ran a fighter wing here in Jacksonville that was no small task.
I'll bet anyone dinner at Morton's (im good for it) that if Obama wins the W.house he WILL NOT i repeat WILL NOT pull us out of IraQ in no less than 2-3 years. Both side are getting palms greased in this war. "Peace sells- but who's buying?"

Kevin James a conservative RightWingnut mouthpiece showed his massive ignorance earlier today on "Hardball" when he could not explain the historial significance of what Nevile Chamberlain of Great Britain did before Hitler invaded Western Europe.

It seems that every conservative here also has no idea what the difference between negotiation and appeasement is.

To Appease is to satisfy the wants or desires of a threat by giving in to the demands of those who threaten.

To Negotiate is to talk openly about a given situation to find common ground to resolve the situation.

To those people who feel as though negotiation is appeasement, I suggest that you find out why exactly we have a Department of State, and why we pay large sums of payroll for ambassadors who are skilled at avoiding conflict through PEACEFUL NEGOTIATION.

To those fans of Kevin James, you hero made a fool of himself. If you want to see it firsthand,
GOOGLE - Kevin James Hardball.

You can't write comedy that good!

No wonder the Republican Party is has become a joke, they have idiots like this guy cheerleading for them!

And idiots like the posters on this thread that believe everything the right-wingnuts tell them.

So, RiversideRob, I'll ask you this question because unlike the other predictable Bush apologists on this thread, you actually put some thought into your answers before being wrong.
What do you think Bush should do to the members of his State Department that have conducted negotiations with Iran and North Korea under Bush's direction? Obviously, based on Bush's own statements, his Secretary of State is appeasing terrorist states, under direct orders from Bush.
So does Bush need to fire himself for giving direction to appease terrorists, does he fire Sec of State Rice for following the order to appease terrorists, or is Bush once again being purposefully duplicitous for political gain at the expense of national discourse and foreign diplomacy?
