this snip from a MSNBC article;

'When President Bush -- thousands of miles away in Israel -- decided to fire his thinly veiled shot at Obama yesterday, it was a giant gift to the Illinois senator and his campaign. Why? One, it essentially kept Clinton on the sidelines just two days after her big West Virginia victory. Two, Obama's opponent was no longer Clinton or McCain, but the man with the 27% job-approval rating.

Unbelievable that Bush, the guy who was endorsed by Al Queda, would call someone else an appeaser.

Appeasing Saudi Arabia, Musharraf, the bin Ladins, and all the corrupt crony con war profiteers is Bush`s full time job.

What a coward too, to do it overseas.

I hate to tell the Democrats this right in the middle of what they had hopped would be Obama's sister Soulja moment. Nobody cares what Obama thinks, but a quick check of 1939 History would have saved them a lot of embarrassment. Now they just look stupid.

Again, nobody has supported and helped Al Queda as well as the hardliners in Iran more than George W Bush. For Bush to try to attack Obama and then for McCain to try to jump in, CLASSIC!

Ani, maybe you had a senior moment during discussion of the Cuban Missile Crisis, but I got a clue for you. We would be speaking Chinese with a Spanish accent if Bush or McCain were president during any crisis that actually threatened our country.

We need intelligence at the top, not belligerence.

Even Bush`s Sec of State and cabinet have advised Bush publicly to talk with Iran and Hamas. He is already talking with NK. That flip-flopping hypocrite McCain said in 2006 we must talk to Hamas.

You cons need to spend a whole day, quit the beyotching, and just get yer stories straight. It`s quite amusing but its getting old.

Bush was re-elected despite the mistakes of the war, Guantanamo, the renditions, and unwarranted surveillance well publicized. McCain knows why which is why he is playing the same "fear card".

Yep, he`ll automatically get about 30~40% of the vote just by talking tough.

Bush has proven that although talking tough may get you some votes, it won`t get you any solutions.

Negotiation is the key to solving problems without getting GIs needlessly killed. Only an elitist SOB would rather get thousands of GIs killed than sit down and find a solution with our enemies, allies, and those in between.

We need to fight the terrorists, but we must fight smart, not play into their hands.

Obama made a big mistake in assuming the President was talking about him in Isreal. As soon as the words appearer was mentioned Democrats assumed it was aimed at them. Obama just knew it was about him. What was the old song? You are so vain, you want to think the speech was about you. What a hoot.

As soon as the word Appeaser was mentioned in the President's speech in Isreal the Democrats assumed he was talking about their messiah. Obama jumped all over it even though his name was never mentioned. What is that old song? You're so vain, you probably think the speech was about you. What a hoot. Poor naive little man.

Oh Ani, pretending Bush meant otherwise will get you nowhere.

Even Kevin James and every neocon enabler knows who Bush was talking about.

Gimme a break. You are just as transparent playing dumb as playing smart.

Sorry. I didn't see the first posting. Thought they dropped it.

I just love how Obama compares the two big republican idiots. LOL! I hope Obama does a lot more of it, and later the republicans realize that they support a Bush clone.

This was actually a HUGE neocon mistake.

1) McCain connected himself at the hip with Bush with McCain`s reaction - jumping on the `appeaser` train

2) McCain/Bush just showed themselves to be not only below the office of the President and neither deserving of any respect in the world, but on top of that they both showed what complete and utter hypocrites they are since they both have negotiated and/or said they would negotiate with our enemies in the past.
