Obama responds to the comments that both Bush and McCain made last week

President Bush used an address in front of the Israel parliament to attack Obama politically. He could have used the opportunity of being in front of another country’s government to work on international relations…nope, instead our President decides to use that forum to further show the world how divided our country is and how our own President is working towards creating an even bigger divide.

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,” said Bush, in what White House aides privately acknowledged was a reference to calls by Obama and other Democrats for the U.S. president to sit down for talks with leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

We have heard this foolish delusion before,” Bush said in remarks to the Israeli Knesset. “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.”

Now, our country’s up and coming Republican follow up to our Republican President… Senator John McCain also attacked Obama.

 ”I have the knowledge, the background and the judgment to lead this nation. My opponent does not,” said McCain, 71.
