Bush Compares Obama to Nazi Appeasers
While delivering an address before the Israeli parliament commemorating the 60th anniversary of Israel, President Bush said that Sen. Barack Obama and Democrats favor a policy of appeasement toward terrorists. CNN reports that Bush was comparing Obama to "other U.S. leaders back in the run-up to World War II who appeased the Nazis."
In his speech, Bush said, "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."
CNN's Ed Henry reported that, while "President Bush never uttered the words Barack Obama," his White House sources tell him it was clearly intended to be a partisan shot: White House aides are acknowledging that this was a reference to the fact that Sen. Obama and other Democrats have publicly said that it would be ok for the U.S. President to meet with leaders like the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad.

I share your concern, but I had almost the same thoughts when Hamas suddenly gained legislative control. However we may despise them, those elections were quite fair. I hoped the burden of government would put some sense into those hotheads, but it didn't. McCain was being pragmatic, and hopeful. Both our hopes were destroyed.
Rather than a flip-flop to follow voter sympathies I'd rather call it a sad realization of the truth.
You sure seem to want a Democrat in as President of the USA....
You like their border-closing approach?
If he had said that he was being hopeful at first but later realized that his hope had been futile and admitted it, that would have been very different from having denied that he said it at all. And that goes for a lot of things he has said--including his
position on drilling in the U.S.
for oil.
