Joe Biden Slams Bush For Obama Appeasement Comments

MSNBC :

Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee absolutely tore into President George W. Bush for his comments from Israel, which appeared to take a swipe at Obama.

Bush said this morning, "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. We have heard this foolish delusion before. 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."

I am so over George Bush.

[KillgoreTrout43]

It took you this long???

[AtomicSplash]

I noticed you aren't there yet.

[humuhumunukunukuapuaa]

I got over George W. Bush LONG BEFORE it was cool to do so.

[KillgoreTrout43]

I never liked the prick from day one.

[AtomicSplash]

I can’t remember precisely when it happened for me. It was either right after the 2006 election or sometime between that and the start of the faux primary season which preceded the start of the actual primary season.

[abouttime]

Sadly, our country and planet are not in the position to escape from reality by getting "over Bush". Sounds like complicity to me.
Congress, for the sake of humanity and America should call a special session and IMPEACH now.
Obama won't take office until January 2009.

[gurukalehuru]

Well, Senator Biden, its nice to hear you speaking up now, but this is the kind of thing that happens when you fail to impeach.
I know, it begins in the house, but you haven't exactly been pressuring them to send it your way, now, have you?

[bleek]

Would it be too much to ask for a censure vote? Off the table, perhaps?

[BrickSykes]

Tell me, Mister Moderator,

Is it possible for a Comment to be Zapped solely on the number of "Abusives" it gets from other Commentors? That is to say, if a certain 'group' of Commentors were to gang up and decide (conspire) to Zap any other particular Commentor, they could do so by simply clicking the 'Abusive' button, and you guys would never know it?

Or, is the Zap function controlled solely by the "Judgment" of you Moderators?

Of course, I don't really expect an answer...Just remember, Hitler began his career in Fascism by censoring public discourse. Just wondering....

Bye-Bye,

Brick

[KarateKid]

LOL. You need to understand you came to a moderated site. And, for your information, some of us have had our threads scrubbed, too. Just watch your language. Read the rules.

[BrickSykes]

Well, Kid, I've been a regular here since May 10, 2005, and I can truthfully say that 'something' has changed. I'm not normally paranoid, either, but 'Banning' used to be something reserved for the most obvious abusers, and, believe me, there used to be some bona fide MadMen here. It is serene today in comparison.

I am convinced though, that some of the Moderators have an obvious bias toward some viewpoints, and even some personalities. I still see some of the regular RightWing Ranters here who operate with relative impunity, and their Rants are far beyond any sane person't pale. That is why I am surprised by my own maltreatment.

We can go elsewhere if we want Rush Limbaugh's "discourse." It isn't needed here.

Buh-bye.

"President Bush, in Saudi Arabia for his second personal appeal this year to King Abdullah, apparently failed to persuade the oil-rich nation to boost crude production -- a move that would likely have pushed prices lower.

"Saudi officials maintained their position that they are already meeting demand. The kingdom is the world's largest producer of oil and is a key member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries."

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080516/oil_prices.html

Held the King's hand for nothing, again.

[dartagnan]

Maybe he needs to hold something else ...

[VolvoBirkenstock]

Perhaps he did, but was a failure at doing that correctly, too.

[elbzee]

"Hold" is not the verb that applies to Bush & the Saudis. However, polite company and sodomy laws prohibit a more detailed description.

[NatteringNabob]

"What I think the president ought to do [when gas prices spike] is he ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say we expect you to open your spigots." -- George W. Bush

Maybe Dear Leader was right in that a phone call would have worked better than all that hand-holdin' and smoochin'.

[The Impartial]

No, he wouldn't call Saudi. Cheney wouldn't let him do that. Both of them, and their clique, need to amass more money before stepping down in Dec 08. and then ....
APRES MOI LE DELUGE!!!

[Raymondf]

I agree with you kilgore trout.

[KillgoreTrout43]

Thanks, I wish they would LEAVE MY COMMENTS ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frappe]

It needs to be said again:

George W. Bush -- the worst president in our nation's history.

[KillgoreTrout43]

We need to rid ourselves of Bush, Pelosi and Reid. Pelosi and reid for taking impeachment off the table. She is a co-conspirator in the bush/cheney war crimes.

[wm1066]

Pelosi will have to answer why she did that for the rest of her life.
Bush opened the gates of hell and Pelosi stuck a wedge in the door to keep it open.
Her part in this wont be forgotten or forgiven.

[chirps]

Bush owes bin Laden a great debt, for it was Osama who put him back in the White House for a second term. Without 9/11, Bush was toast in '04; 9/11 elevated him to a "War" President. Yuck.

[KarateKid]

And now, his party, in a desperate attempt to stay in power, use the same two names, only with one letter changed, Hussein and Obama, to sow fear among their illiterate bunch of scared morons.

Maybe the irony in Barack's name is God's punishment for Bush's misdeeds. Ever hear of poetic justice?

[elbzee]

And people deride the 9/11 conspiracy theorists! Hmmmmmmmm.

[rsottong]

Secretary of State Joe Biden!!!!! At least make him Speaker of the People ...

Obama '08. No McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[borderorder]

Thank you George Bush. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thanks to your bobbleheaded performance, national attention has been torn away from HRC's seemingly self-destructive march to June 3rd and pointed squarely at the democrat's presumptive nominee. You have robbed McCain of any momentum from his recent shilling and reminded everyone how much you and your pathetic administration and your lockstep Republican goons have undermined the credibility of our country.

Instead of listening to another day and night of Clintononians argue electability, we get to see what the summer brings - a march toward freeing our country from its long nightmare of ignorance, fear, bigotry, corruption and larsony.

You're the champ, er chimp, Mr. Prez. May you keep your mouth running right up to the GE.

[dartagnan]

"May you keep your mouth running right up to the GE." LOL! Megadittoes to that! I hope Chimpy attacks Obama every single day from now through Election Day.

[RaraAvis17]

I wonder if Bu$h jerks in his sleep, you know when you have the feeling of falling? Ha!

[abouttime]

I am pretty sure he takes drugs to sleep...

[KillgoreTrout43]

Yeah, Jack Daniels.

[01202009]

Beneath this presidency? The only thing beneath this presidency and his cabal is the mud hole they wallow in!!!

[VolvoBirkenstock]

FUBAR and grimfreeper seem to be a bit upset today.

[McSameisthegame]

Just waiting for that troll-TIMOTHE-to come up with some lame excuse and defend the indefensible! Ought to at least be laughable, if not plausible.. Come on, tim-we're waiting for one more moronic post-just to make our day!!!

[VolvoBirkenstock]

He hired grimfreeper and FUBAR to post on his behalf today.

[sugarmoes]

"pure politics" "blatant" "disgraceful" "beneath the presidency"

these terms perfectly describe...

EVERY MOMENT OF THE BUSH OCCUPATION OF THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MNmommy]

Joe Biden for Secretary of State!

(Shoulda been president, but I guess we are past that...)

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

We are past that.

[MNmommy]

Awe look, the obsession continues.

[rsottong]

Sen. Biden doesn't have the brain-to-mouth filter that's required on all presidential models. Thank God, though -- we like him just the way he is. Sec. of State is perfect!

[KillgoreTrout43]

Brain to mouth filter?? You mean like the one bush has?? Biden would never have said what bush did.
Bush took highly divisive, political terrorism to the Israelis. He specifically used a NAZI referrence to scare the Israeli people. The Friggin idiot doesn't even realize that Israelis aren't voting in this election. I guess he just had to get that smear in there, re-guardless.

[kevenseven]

An embarrassment of riches.
