Biden calls Bush comments 'bulls**t'

Biden had some strong words for the president.
Biden had some strong words for the president.

(CNN) - The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joe Biden, D-Delaware, called President Bush’s comments accusing Sen. Barack Obama and other Democrats of wanting to appease terrorists "bulls**t” and said if the president disagrees so strongly with the idea of talking to Iran then he needs to fire his secretaries of State and Defense, both of whom Biden said have pushed to sit down with the Iranians.

“This is bullshit. This is malarkey. This is outrageous. Outrageous for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, sit in the Knesset…and make this kind of ridiculous statement,” Biden said angrily in a brief interview just off the Senate floor.

“He’s the guy who’s weakened us. He’s the guy that’s increased the number of terrorists in the world. His policies have produced this vulnerability the United States has. His intelligence community pointed that out not me. The NIE has pointed that out and what are you talking about, is he going to fire Condi Rice? Condi Rice has talked about the need to sit down. So his first two appeasers are Rice and Gates. I hope he comes home and does something.”

He quoted Gates saying Wednesday that we “need to figure out a way to develop some leverage and then sit down and talk with them.”

    I wonder if Obama will sit and listen to the terrorists in the same way he listened to his minister?

    Easy to say when you're an armchair quarterback...and a nut.

    Clearly, we need a third option.
    Bob Barr...common sense, based on the constitution and bill of rights–not social/economic special interests–for real.

    Bob Barr, Libertarian, 2008...

    Let's muzzle Biden and others–vote out all incumbents and start fresh!!

    Go Biden,

    Too bad this guy didn't make it further. But he speaks to plainly to be elected. We Americans like stuff watered down, and sugar-coated...

  13. Justin (ny)

    Wow, i'm sure he'll get panned for his use of profanity, but honestly this sort of anger is wholly understandable after the fear tactics Bush used in his speech. This as as honest a response to Bush's recent despicable comments as you'll find.

    Amen Mr. Biden!

    Right or wrong, you'd think the chair of the senate foreign relations committee would have phrased his response more eloquently and appropriately.

    I'm unhappy with Sen. Biden over his wording, not his response.

  24. Dem

    Yes Yes Yes

    It is time for Democrats to stand up and attack the Republicans. The Republican party having failed in all aspects are now using the fear mongering tactics to scare voters.

    The democrats must not only fight back but learn how to fire punches if they have to win. Remember what happened to John Kerry?

    Dems wake up and lets start the fight.

    Thank you Joe Biden for your harsh words.

    That's right Senator Biden, call "W" out for the mess he's caused! Bush needs to explain himself about that comment when he gets back from Israel. I hope Bush doesn't fire Dr. Rice or Mr. Gates though, since they both are doing a better job than he is.

    Go Sen. Biden! That GW believes he has one iota of credability re: foreign relations and that the world or the people of the GOP would listen to this is... BS!

    I think these types of comments only helps Sen. Obama and do much more harm to Sen. McCain.

    Bush's comments were Bull___. In fact, that were lower than bull___. No one has done more to help the terrorists than George W. Bush.

    I'm no fan of Bush, having voted against him twice, but Biden's comment is not true.

    Obama himself has said that the pre-conditions that the Bush administration has required for any formal diplomatic efforts with Iran need to be dropped...so which is it?

    Way to go Biden, here is the righteous anger Democrats and Americans needed to be showing against Bush's war from the beginning. This President has become more and more of a joke and it would be an understatement to call him the worst President in history. Thank you Senator for pointing out Bush and his failed policies.

    Joe Biden is spot on with his comments. No one LIKES him here so he thought he'd play up to the Jews in hope of getting any positive response his leadership. Like Biden, I believe Bush should spend more time in Tehran instead of Tel Aviv.

    Biden is right. November can't come fast enough. Dems may have differences in the party but there is no doubt that this type of policy will be allowed to continue.

    McCan't will not win in November because the Democratic Party will come together and not allow this RNC mess to ever happen again.

    It is beyond time for the the Democratic Party to come together and dethrone this foolishnes.

    Ohhh so that's why Biden recieved about 4 votes for the democratic nomination. It must be just a coincidence that virtually all terrorist organizations that have spoken out on the issue have indicated a preference toward Obama in the 08 elections.

    Very well stated. It's about time that folks like Biden stand up and challenge Bush on his asinine statements. He's going to go right to the end of his term reinforcing the fact that he's one of the most incompetent presidents in history.....and he still doesn't realize it nor have the common sense to keep his mouth shut!

    Very well said, Senator Biden.

    May 15, 2008 01:11 pm at 1:11 pm |
  102. Go Biden

    You Go Senator Biden! And President Bush should be ashamed of himself. But his approval rating is at 20% and most of those are likely comedians that are going to be sad to see him leave because he provides so much comic material for them.

    May 15, 2008 01:11 pm at 1:11 pm |

    yes senator Biden is right.

    shame on you bush.............

    You've gotta love Joe Biden. He speaks his mind and his mind is absolutely correct in this instance. I think he would make a great VP for Obama.

  106. John

    Finally!!!! Someone calls it like it is. I've always liked Biden's straightforwardness. Too bad he didn't have enough money to buy the nomination like remaining candidates.
    Bush's half baked, half executed foreign policy has created a greater mess than we could have imagined 8 years ago. I've always opposed the war but I might have more respect if we had gone into our fight against the world with full force. At least it would have been a determined approach instead of this guess and wait game thats only slowly bleeding us dry.
    Well, it can only get better next year. Only 249 days of the failure left!!!

    This is outrageous and shameful. How could Sen. Biden use such public remarks about the President? He should resign.

  110. Chanda-Cincinnati Ohio

    OBAMA/BIDEN O8' ND 12'!!!!!!!!!!!! President Bush should really just go sit down and shut up!!!!!!! Anything he says at this point sounds like blah, blah, blah. The government in this country needs to get off its high horse and realize we are not alone on this big rock we call earth, and sitting down and having dialogue with...not appeasing..our so called enenemies is the first step in breaking down the misunderstandings and barriers. The United State's John Wayne cowboy attitude is exactly why we have lost our luster and shine on the world stage. We use to command respect, now the world chokes back giggles. Bush has made us a laughing stock, and Annie Oakley won't help the matter with her nuke Iran attitude!!!!!!!!!!!

    May 15, 2008 01:12 pm at 1:12 pm |

    Good for you Senator Biden. It's about time someone starts calling these people out on their ridiculous form of division. Let's fix healthcare, education and energy policies now. Enough of this BS!

  112. Sue, Bloomington, IN

    Is stupidity an impeachable offense? Biden is right on with his criticism of Bush.

    May 15, 2008 01:13 pm at 1:13 pm |
  113. Jon

    Nowhere in Bush's speach did he even mention by name BHO or any other oerson for that matter. I believe Biden has guilty feeling. What a bunch of crap.

    To give credit where credit is due, someone has kept terrorist from striking the US homeland again. Whether thats to the credit of Bush or his administration. I sure wouldnt say he has created more terrorist as Biden has stated.

    Thank You Mr. Biden!
    It is about time someone called it like it really is.

    I"m with you on that Biden. However, you can't argue with a fool. We just have to wait until he is out of office and pray he can shut up until them

    Go Biden!! Good for him – finally somebody speaks up and says something. Voters are so tired of the politically correct, skirting-the-issue, non-answer answer to everything.

    Whether you agree with him or not,you have to give Biden credit for speaking up.

    WOW, that's some strong language Biden, but very appropriate for that kind of talk from Bush. I think Bush is "losing his bearrings".

  133. Are You For Serious!!!!!!

    All I have to say is way to call it Joe " No Bull" Biden. I mean why are we so scared to sit and talk to someone. I mean the number one rule of war is keep your friends close, but your enimies even closer. seems to me that atleast if you talk you may be able to better understand what they want and why they hate us so much.

    May 15, 2008 01:17 pm at 1:17 pm |
  134. Marge Hibbing Mn

    That's all bush talk is.....bull....but coming from Biden another obama supporter who can't win a nomination, he has run many times before. So what does he do, support obama because he doesn't want people to think a woman could get the nod and he couldn"t.

    May 15, 2008 01:17 pm at 1:17 pm |

  138. Bill

    Amen Joe. Why this guy isn't in Obama's or Hillary's position now, I do not know. I guess because it takes a smooth-talking, word-twisting, sugar-coating person to be a successful politician. Biden is a successful LEADER; I guess too many among us can't stomach plain truth and blunt words. At this point, I will settle for him as Sec'y of State. GO BIDEN

    May 15, 2008 01:18 pm at 1:18 pm |
  139. James Moore

    I love Joe BIDEN...He speaks his mind. I hope OBAMA nominates him Secretary of State!

  147. Surendra from Pelham manor, NY

    Senator Biden called it perfectly. This president has to go abroad to talk like this speaks mountain about his lack of foreign policy since he came to power.

    May 15, 2008 01:19 pm at 1:19 pm |
  148. Joy Munro

    Senator Biden and Senator Obama are so eager to talk to Iran with no substance behind it and then denie they ever said it. What a sham!

    What makes them so sure they will do and undo as in Iraq and Afganastan what it has taken 4 presidents to do thus far and thousands of year of bitterness and hatred to overcome?

    These Senators are all full of hot air, and there is always someone there to fluff their ball bags; i.e. the media.

    It is a disgrace I can't stomack listening to these Democrats any more. I pray I am not alone...

  151. Farley

    What more can I say? I agree 100% with Senator Joe Biden, who has made the case against the President,s reckless utterances very convincingly. The President should realise that he has a very serious responsibility, and should avoid reckless grandstanding for political purposes on a matter as serious as this.

    May 15, 2008 01:20 pm at 1:20 pm |

  153. Ron J.

    Sen. Biden is 100% correct. It appears that Bush's lame-duck apathy has reached a new low: he no longer cares even when directly contradicting his inner circle. And, yes, I'm actually complimenting Bush's intelligence by attributing this latest gaffe to apathy rather than to pathological stupidity. Is it 2009 yet?

    May 15, 2008 01:20 pm at 1:20 pm |

    Republicans they say what they want, when they want too. No matter if it's right or wrong. President Bush, thank God his term is almost over. Really Thank God! Tell It Like It is Senator Biden, Don't take that from him. It's time for the Democrates to take a stand and stand up and (not behind) but along side Senator Obama. It's time for a CHANGE.
    Dem's unite as one and get the job done. YES!!!!!!!!!

    "Joe Biden called President Bush’s comments.. "bulls–t”"

    It's a joke, right? Promoting niceness with the Iranian president while profaning the president of the US? Just how is that supposed to make anyone feel comfortable with how a Democrat would treats this country?

    Thank you Joe Biden for giving a voice to what most Americans are thinking as well. It's refreshing to see an influential representative standing up to the outrageous lies and bullcrap that comes out of bush's mouth. Thank you for putting it all in perspective Joe. You have my vote of confidence.

    It's about time a leading Senator and member of the Foreign Policy Committee stood up and challenged the outrageous politics of fear the Bush has used over the past 8 years, especially in election periods. Biden would make a great V.P.

    Joe Biden is my new hero.

    Bush is actually ridiculous for stating that repairing relations with Iran would be a mistake. I think we need global cooperation in order to effectively combat any miss-doings or injustices.

    Please, for everyone's sake, Mr. Bush: RESIGN!

  190. Bruce Koslow

    Senator Biden is exactly right. He is the only politician that
    tells it the way it really is...

    Whoever is elected President, would be very wise to have Biden
    in their Cabinet.

    YES!

    This is getting good!

    Ha,ah,ha,ha,ha,ha - what a nice way to slap Bush back to Texas!

    Time to give up the "How the West was Won" ---and Wanted Dead or Alive!

    Go get em' Biden!

    And to Mc Cain – we will not be in Iraq for another 5-years!

    Is that the best our POW- Mc Cain can do? The USA can't afford 5-more years in Iraq!

    Go Obama!

    Good for Senator Biden. After 7+ years of this travesty of a government, someone finally had the courage to truthfully categorize everything this President has espoused.

    Amen Senator Biden!
    All Americans MUST stand up and speak against this fear-mongering. I thought this guy (Bush) was done scaring gullible Americans. Obviously not. Wake-up America. Dont fall for this non-sense and give up another 4 years of our Children's future.

    VOTE for CHANGE!

    Biden is a true American patriot. Why isn't this man the Democratic nominee? Because the media never gave him the time of day, and the public isn't knowledgeble enough to vote on actual issues. Pathetic. Hopefully Obama will pick him as his #2.

    To use such words it sounds like Biden is on the defensive.
    I believe if US spent all the money that was spent in the MIddle East we could defend our Country for 200 years – it's stupid.
    We don't need any other Country for anything except to feed the belly of the Corporations.

    Biden is a strong leader to stand up to Prez Bush. At least someone loves this country enought to speak out and save us from more wars before Bush leaves office.

  205. Fred

    Joe Biden is exactly right. Does Bush have no shame. What Bush said was yet amother pathetic example of the Republican party's attempts to stay in power forever through creating irrational fear in the minds of the voting public. However, nothing that comes out of the mouth of our idiot president surprises me anymore.

    Here is a demonstration in his own words of why Joe Biden is so dis-trusted even by his own party. Is this his way of 'appeasing' who? The media? The democrats? The president? The Iranians?

    Finally! It's about time that someone of Biden's stature and position challenge Bush's rhetoric. Bush has done so much damage to this country... it is going to take years if not decades to undo, not to say anything about the financial debt we have incurred....Biden' words are true and refreshing!

    Amen! It is just about time someone actually spoke out against the inane rhetoric of the Bush administration. I am sure Biden will catch some heat for his choice of words, but what is more vulgar – a naughty word or the unnecessary invasion and slaughter of innocent Iraqis? If you choose the word, you need to have a long, hard think about your moral code.

    Well.....Mr. Biden might think the comments are BS, but I happen to think that for ANY candidate making pronouncements of being willing to sit down after they get elected and talking with terrorists UNDERMINES any action or policies of the current situation in ANY place in the world where the interests of the US are at stake.
    Please remember the old WWII saying..."Loose lips sink ships". Same thing applies to anyone with a soapbox to stand on. The US does not negotiate with terrorists, no matter WHO is in the White House.

    This guy – Bush – is an imbecile with amazingly little knowledge and shockingly little curiosity about anything. He has managed to do to this country in seven years what no external enemy could have. He has divided us, ruined us economically, made us less safe.

    It's time we start taking our country back and it's time we started calling this moron a moron.

    Wow! That is awesome fir power. Biden could have shown it during his campaign. Now he should reserve it until after primary when Obama faces McBush.

    Appease:
    pacify, conciliate; especially : to buy off (an aggressor) by concessions usually at the sacrifice of principles

    I thought Biden might have went to school... Does he know what Appease means?

    I thought taking things ouf context was a Republican thing... but I guess this primary has changed all that... from the inside out.

    Way to go, Biden! Maybe you should be Barack's VP! I'd vote for that ticket in a heartbeat.

    Sen. Biden, I have always admired your courage, your determination, your intelligence.

    Today I have something else to admire – your decision to use exactly the appropriate word for President Bush's comments.

    No cloaking things in the soft language of diplomacy. Just call it what it is.

    My hat is off to you, sir.

    May 15, 2008 01:48 pm at 1:48 pm |

  321. James

    CNN, please do not sensor Biden's comment. He is saying the truth. It is about time the we say things the way we feel. Bush is a disgrace to the economy and has brought shame to us around the world. We should not pretend about it.

    Thanks

    May 15, 2008 01:49 pm at 1:49 pm |

    Thank you Senator Biden. That one blunt word sums up not only the statement to which you were responding, but the entire Bush presidency. Thank God we are about to rid of this bumbling, dangerous oaf.

    Thank you Sen. Biden for standing up to the rhetorical bulls**t that comes out of Bush and and his surrogates' mouths. He is still trying to invoke fear into the American and Israeli people. Can't wait until the end of 2008.

    You've got to love a senator who follows up "bulls**t" with "malarkey."
    Biden's absolutely right. Bush's comments were horrible, and reminiscent of that oaf Romney, when he spouted that nonsense about Democrats before he got out of the presidential race.

    Gotta respect his balls for this! I'm glad that somebody FINALLY set aside the "professional character" and said what NEEDED to be said. Everything that has come out of Bush's mouth has been "BS." I'm just glad someone in a public spotlight was brave enough to come out and say what the people have been thinking for years.

    President George W. Bush is supposed to be the president of the USA. That means he is the president of all Americans.

    That includes Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Christians, Jews, Muslims. Buddhists, Hindus, Atheists etc. For him to make a speech in another country and then to belittle other Americans because their views differ from his or the political party to which he belongs; shows that he indeed will be recorded in history as the worst or one of the worse presidents in the history of the USA.

    That is the funniest thing ever. It just goes to show that everyone has pretty much reached their limit with this moron. This mess is what we Americans as reaped as our reward for electing a "short bus" president.

    Give 'em hell, Joe! We're talking to North Korea . . . we talk to Iran about Iraq . . . and let's see . . . We don't talk to Cuba (and haven't in decades); we don't talk to Iran about nukes; we don't talk to Hamas or Hezbollah; and we have effectuated ABSOLUTELY no change in any of their policies. Indeed, with the toppling of Saadam, Iran has become a menace under Bush's watch, undermining progress in Iraq; arming Hamas and Hezbollah to the teeth; going nukular (as Bush would say) and generally becoming the neighborhood bully. Brilliant. Just brilliant. Give 'em hell, Joe!

    hello from CANADA..

    Wow here is a guy that Obama should have on his team after he is president... he has hit the nail on the head... hope this will knock some sense into those people that are threatening to vote for McCain now that Hillary is going to lose...
    Even up here in Canada , the perception of Americans has gotten worse since Bush got in power...
    Hopefully once President Obama gets in power and gets your troops out of Iraq , we will be pulling our troops out of Afghanistan too .. We also have our version of George Bush up here as our Prime Minister but was elected with a minority government who can be ousted a lot sooner if a non confidence vote occurs rather than you guy having to wait for an election or as the other indiot and crook Nixon did was to resign.. or be impeached...
    Vote for Borak ..he will not only help your country but ours too...

    Does anyone actually pay any attention to what the Bush says anymore? It has been pretty much universally acknowledged that his presidency was an unmitigated failure. His time in the Oval Office is almost, thank God, over. If we are very, very lucky he'll campaign vigorously for McCain and remind everyone of what 4 more year of the same will be like. Other than that, he's seriously lame duck and largely irrelevant, though I suppose it would be dangerous to underestimate the amount of damage he could do with his remaining time; the man is a natural disaster.

    It will take years for this country to overcome the damage he and his inept administration has caused.

    I am from the Caribbean watching all of this play out. I am disgusted by McCain's earlier comments and now Bush's comments implying that Obama is a terrorist ... and Democrats are looking to appease terrorists. (Then he sends his press secretary to say that is not the case and further insultd Obama by saying that he thinks the world revolves around him) who ARE these people?

    It is amazing to me what they will do and who they will try to drag through the mud to justify this war in Iraq.

    I am also very disappointed in the media , if Obama had called McCain a skin head, a nazi or a clan member there would have been an uproar. But as it is Obama is left to defend himself against these downright "silly" statements from silly, silly men.

    As we say here: They need to come better than this.

  403. White Male -CA

    I love how the Republicans wonder why their brand is so tarnished. Bush has set the bar for Republicans at an all time low. Is the standard of Republicans the double standard now a days?

    Our Republican leaders want to bomb Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan back to the stone ages just so our tax dollars can rebuild these countries.

    We're going after countries that don't have the nukes, but yet we pay NO ATTENTION to North Korea who has them!

    Foreign Policy does not mean bomb a country back to the stone ages so our tax dollars can help rebuild them. All at the same time we get to flip the bill on gas utilities, and car gas coming in at $7.00 a gallon in about a year from now.

    You guys wanna pay $8.00 a gallon two years from now? I say go for it. Let's vote John McCain "Path to extinction"

    This is good Biden. Bide speaks the truth and I like it. The way McCain denies to reject Bush`s comments i awful. McCain is McBush. We don`t 4 more years of bad wars, bad economy and many new enemies.

    Why is one President impeached over some lewd bahaviour in his office, and this ashtonishing moron Bush gets away with everything?

    Joe Biden's comments are quite accurate. I am still waiting for the number one terrorist and international war crimes evader boy George Bush to stand trail, however unlikely.

    Ah yes, the politics of takign umbridge. Why is it that when John Kerry makes a disrespectful comment everyone says that Republicans are too sensitive, but a comment from President Bush elicits curse words from the Democrat high ups?

    Well, well, well. Senator Biden steps up big-time for the truth! Nice to see you're still out there fighting the good fight, Senator. Common sense seems to be a disappearing characteristic!

    It would be funny if it was not so sad. I am glad I will be able to say I did not vote for this monumental failure of an administration. I just hope that the damage this president caused over the past 7 years can be reversed.

    May not agree with everything he says, but I can finally say without reservation that there is one real human being on the Left side of the aisle with something resembling a backbone.

    Finally, a Democrat with the temerity to call it like he sees it without the pandering tone of voice.

    This Republican voter is duly impressed.

    It's about time someone got very blunt about the stuff Bush has been saying. It's just a shame it took 8 years. Now if they would just impeach him, Congress'es approval would go up 50 percentage points!!!

    This is what has been needed to be said for the last eight years. Bush has lead a lot naive and trusting Americans to ruin their own country to enrich Bush and Republican cronies with help from Fox News. It looks like everyone in the US has figured it out the sad part is it took nine years for people to wise up.

    Bush is probably the dumbest president we have had in 100 years. It was a bunch of clowns that voted for him the second time. With 20% approval rating apparently someone out there wishes they hadn't.

  485. Mike - Texas

    The thing is, that the President's remarks are right on the money!! If you look at the history of the past 4 years, the Democrats have belittled our troops, belittled our country and have been looking for ways to blame the President for everything while they look to appease and strengthen the enemy by giving them hope by demanding that our troops be pulled out immediately. If that is not appeasement, I don't know what is!!

    As usual, CNN ommitted my comments on this earlier.

    Da*n is this blog biased or what??????????????

    Is anyone really listening to Bush anymore? Does he actually have a shred of credibility or decency left? Some politicians don't know when the party's over and it's time to go. Perhaps that is how he can face himself in the morning- through his golf sacrifice for our troops and by remaining delusional.

    May 15, 2008 02:10 pm at 2:10 pm |
  494. Larry, Hazleton, Pa

    Has President Bush lost his mind. Is his memory so bad that he does not remeber that it is he who has caused our problems and his man Cheney – January 2009 will not come soon enough to send these to packing.

    May 15, 2008 02:10 pm at 2:10 pm |
  495. that's hilarious

    I applaud the remarks, but I do not applaud the HORRIBLE INEFFICENCIES of our House and Senate.

    They can blaim Bush all they want, but THEY are the ones with more power, and these morons choose to do nothing.

    Look no further than Senator Obama. From the state senate to the US senate to president, he has spent more time RUNNING for office than actually being in session... it's pathetic...

    when will we hold these people accountable?

    That a boy Joe!!! Thats exactly what Democrats should have been doing the last 7 years. Stand up to the idiocy and call him out on it. Maybe its too late, but its good to see some backbone returning to this party!

    Like Herbert Hoover, Bush's tank is running on empty. He's got no solutions for the economy, for the environment, for foreign conflicts, for health care, for social security, and for the future. He's a disaster. McCain isn't any improvement. Obama: visionary, thinker, leader.

    Thank you, Joe BIden. "BS" is actually a kinder word than I would use.

    If Bush had any sense of shame, any awareness or responsibility for the terrible mess that he has driven us into with his ignorance and stupidity, he would beg forgiveness from the American people and resign, instead of standing there pretending to be a person with any wisdom on world affairs and history. NO one with any sense would take George Bush's opinions seriously at this point.

    Bravo for some Aggressiveness and reality from the left! People should be outraged that the American President insulted his own government from the knesset (Israeli congress)! We were attacked under a republican adminstration, not a democratic last I checked.

    Senator Biden should not be so hard on President Bush. He needs to understand that President Bush is doing the best he can given the limited amout of time he has been in office. The Senator should understand that the President should not be held responsible as he does not know what he is doing. He has limited experience (8 years) and ever further limited abilities. He has not even mastered the art of telling a joke yet. Give him time. He will come around by January of 2009. WOW I cannot even fool myself.

    I,m a lifelong Republican but I applaud what Joe Biden had to say. I don't want to moderate anything I said. If you don't want to accept it, then I guess you are just Bush supporters. Thanks for having the guts to speak up Joe! A patriot must stand ready to protect his country from his government!

    Joe Biden is a weak, ineffective ankle biter. What we need are leaders, not complainers. This moron does not even understand what leverage means. The only leverage that matters in negotiations are economics or force. To think otherwise is naive and stupid. It's hard to believe, but there are some that think just talking will solve problems. It won't. Sorry. Welcome to world politics 101.

    Why am I getting the strong impression that seven years of being President has munged up Bush's brain? It's got to be a high-stress job, and it's got be unbelievably lonely and isolating. And the more I hear from Bush the more it looks like he's losing touch with reality.

    Ed Henry, John Roberts, and Ted Barrett are not journalists. They are actively and blatantly lying about what President Bush said earlier today. The administration has come out and officially stated that they were NOT referring to Obama with Bush's speech to the Knesset. Who is it that told these CNN "journalists" otherwise? I believe that they are intentionally lying to the American people in order to support their candidate of choice. This is unethical and CNN should investigate this action immediately.

    Yea Senator Biden! If only the rest of our Congress had the audacity to stand up against this regime. Bush and Cheney should have been impeached long ago. I only hope the rest of the country is as sick of this administration as I am and goes to the polls to vote for change. God knows we need it desperately! Change does not mean McCain, a continuance of this regime. Either one of the other two will suffice.

    Bush comments have been less intelligent since he took the office of Presidency , his words and actions have all been bs. So I totally agree with the Senator. Bush doesn't care one way or the other because he has eight months left in office. It is really funny too because we may get again a not so intelligent President Obama, who thinks we have 57 states in the US. Is that not something you learn in Pre-K schooling the 50 states. My Fellow Americans wake up and be careful who you vote for!

    It is a rare occasion when one of our politicians allows that veneer of politically correct professionalism crack enough to show how they really feel. They say Mccain is a staight talker. No, this line from Joe Biden is the most "staight talk" I have heard from any politician in a long time.

    I think it's about time that somebody pointed out the crap being spewed by Bush and his administration is in fact BULL S**T.

    It amazes me what pushes people to curse in public.

    Bush is not a very bright man. As mean as this may sound, it is also true.

    It has often been said that we humans go from on extreme to the next extreme. From the worst president in modern day history to the best the president in modern day history.

    In other words, from Bush to Obama.

    As much as I love Biden's unhinged (and perfectly appropriate) reaction, how about Obama's measured, civil, and equally accurate response? Can't help but notice the conspicuous absence of the statement from the Democratic FRONTRUNNER!

    I wanted Joe Biden to be President, but unfortunately, majority of this country don't recognized extra-ordinary statesmen who deserved to be sitting in the oval office. These are also the kind of people that are true leaders, and not what we always chose for President. This is truly sad for this country.

    Well, we've all known for a long time that GWBush is full of BS, but it's still useful for Senator Biden to remind us just how much. Bush has wallowed in BS during most of his term in office. They say he loves wading it down at the ranch in Crawford. Won't it be nice when he is gone?

    worse or not. Dirty politics??

    This is a disgrace for Bush to make a statement like this. You go to one of our major allies and tell them that one of your countries main political parties wants to appease terroist. It like speaking out against your own country. Not to mention it's because of your admintrative blunders that the terroist has flourished. And america won't give a black man a chance !!!!!!!!

That is the problem we have , we don't need to pesifier the people that kill our people I would say wipe them out, that is what we would have done in the past. We are Americans and we let all these fariegners come in and take over. I think the Dem. are just to soft to rule our country.

    Keith Olbermann broke the silence on Bush. We all know he's corrupt, and the Bush government is disgustingly familiar to that of Hitler's regime. Anyone who speaks out against him is treated as the enemy. When this is all over, the control over the media will be lifted and we can see what's really been happening in Iraq.

    THIS is why I REALLY wanted this guy for president. Way to call it like it is, Joe. Tough. To the point and true. Once again, GW has proven he feels nothing is above him, anything that will help his "cause" is ok because he thinks it is.

    Indeed, this is why our country is where it is today. So sad. Even sadder you aren't still in the running, Joe.

    Just a continued reminder of how "weak" the republican voters made the USA with thier choice of a leader from 2000 to present.

    If he really thought he was making his 2008 republican presidentail candidate stronger by making such comments by interjecting FEAR again into the minds of Americans, he played that card already. He needs to try something that will stop terrorism against Americans and will result in the capture of Osama Bin Laden., not his line officers

    Right on Mr. Biden. McCain is of the same attitude. We will attack and beat you to a pulp, then we can negotiate on our terms. It is not appeasement, it is alternative solution finding. There is more than one way to beat the bad guys. It takes a man's man to find it.

    Bush speaks the truth. The dems have long wanted to surrender to the terrorists.

    There hasnt been an attack in the US under Bush's watch since 9/11. Al Qaeda was a direct result of Clinton's policies and his non intervention when the WTC was attacked in '93 and the USS Cole in 2000.

    Why does Obama and the HEAD OF THE DEMOCRATS think that everything that is said is about them. I am a lifelong DEMOCRAT that has had enough with PELOSI, DEAN, and the likes. I have never vote for BUSH but what he said I think was not about the Democrats. Hillary Clinton also said she would not sit down and talk with these people, and I feel the same way. WHY IS IT THAT EVER TIME Obama slips that a top DEMOCRAT runs to his rescue.

    HILLARY CLINTON as a INDEPENDENT in the FALL ELECTION.

    It was about time somebody spoke the truth to these ignorant backward policies that have set us back decades. We must regain our standing in the world. Bush's mishandling of our foreign policy will need years of reparing and vision to help us stay strong and respected around the world.

If Obama could not handle Clinton during anyone of the hundreds of debates, what makes Obamaites think he is remotely capable to the task of meetign with Iran or Hamas? Obama is weak and will rely on Pelosi and Kennedy for strength. An admininstration that far left is destin to fail. Bush, for once, has it right.

BTW U.S. Intelligence found no link between Iran and weapons in Iraq, but we know for a fact that Insurgents are getting help from Saudi Arabia.

    Thank God for the likes of Joe Biden who can speak the truth to power. Bush is a buffoon and I cringe every time he opens his mouth. Does he ever consider that a peaceful approach just might work miracles? He boo-hoo's the death of soldiers yet does not one thing to try a different approach to war. I'm sick of him.

    The McBush Middle East Polcies are an orgasm of intellectual anarchy, gross deficiencies in judgment, and have made America less safe. I think it is time for Americans to loudly object to the anti-American policies inherent in the McBush dogma. Republicans came to power in 1994 using a shame and blame strategy acccompanied by good old racism. After years of their own shame being in the news there is little room to try to shame Democrats without appearing like hypocrites. So now they try to put fear into people. Apparently they do not trust the intellect of us plebians.

    Is ignorance is rampant,deplorable,and down right frightening.
    He is why the entire world hates American.
    Oh,and John McCain agreeing with him tells how out of touch he is.

Sadly, its only now that the Congressional Dems are finding enough backbone to make a forceful statement. Where have you been these last 8 years? You've been carefully avoiding the wave of public opinion, instead of creating it.....and the fabric of our country is worse for it.

HE IS IS THE MOST HONEST, EXPERIENCED, TRIED-AND-TRUE, TELL-IT-LIKE-IT-IS, PRACTICAL YET CREATIVE OF THEM ALL. OBAMA IS A NEWBIE; H.

    Good for you Biden. No one has stood up to this nicompoop for 8 years. It is time to stand up and say enough is enough.

    Bush should have been impeached after he lied to the American people about the WMD's in Iraq. Democrats in congress are just as guilty as he is. For 5 years, they signed off on his budget requests for this stupid war. They only have their own gutless selves to blame.

    Supporting Bush in his outragous approach to 9/11 leaves blood of 4000+ Amricans on the hands of the administartion and the congress who blindly followed Bush like a beat up poppy.

    CNN: Please publish this. Thanks.

    Of course this is BS, and after 8 years we should all know not to trust George Bush. BUT –targeting Obama will be like shooting fish in a barrell. For an intelligent man, he hasn't the common sense to know when or even how to get out of the rain. He brings Wright, Ayers, Rezko - just a whole lot of nonsense that he can't deal with and that the media ignored - to the table. What is wrong with us? This should have been the easiest presidency for the Democrats to win, but we are letting the most viable and capable candidate, Senator Clinton, slip through out fingers. I blame all the Obama supporters for the inevitable election of McCain!

    It's a bit lnsane. Doesn't the President know that the internet exists, and that people use it to find out that Gates and Rice have both suggested discussions with Iranian leadership?

    What a low blow from a guy with no credibility. And for McCain to just tag along as if Bush said anything credible.

    Good for you, Senator Biden! It's about time someone got pissed off. He just said what we were all thinking. Probably not a good idea to cuss, but if that's what gets the message across – that conservative foreign policy is the reason we're in such a mess right now, and Bush and the G.O.P. are hypocrites and liars for trying to pin it on liberals – then so be it. Once again, Good for you, Joe.

    I do think that sitting down and talking to leaders of other countries would be the wise thing to do. If you went to the table with carrots and sticks as Hillary said. ( such as Iran)

    But I am against sitting down with People like Hamas. He would never make an agreement that he intended to keep. People like him only have hate and destruction on thier mind. You would have to be a fool to trust them. Did the terrorist talk to us before 9-11 ? They had no reason to attack us like that. (that was before Iraq remember?) These people would see that as an act of weekness or fear. They know where the United states stands, let them make the first move. Then we would be in a better position to set the ground rules.

    We don't have any business talking to Iran other than to draw a line in the sand of what we will allow and what we wont. There is nothing to talk about. They want western civilization to be wiped off the map. The radical Islam leaders actually believe that God wants us all dead. So just what does Joe, one the far left, plan to do? Is he going to go over there and quote bible scriptures to them? Maybe they can all sit around a camp fire and sing "If I had a hammer". These guys are bad news and have no interest at all in doing anything constructive with us.

    I believe that this kind of outburst goes directly against the idea of civilized diplomacy. If we cannot keep politicians in our own country from fighting and making rash decisions, how do you expect us to convice us that we can talk our way through the conflict with Iran. Iran is a country that is leading a covert war against US troops in Iraq. His proxy army is lauching attacks in Lebanon. This war as already started.
    Why does Obama think he can talk to them? He said he is a Christian. He must know that Iranian leaders do not share his values. It must be because he is really a muslim. He is at least sympathetic to their views. Remember Rev. Wright believes the US had 9/11 coming to us. I forgot Obama does not have ties to the man who brought him to Christianity. He is not a Christian.

    I respect his opinion, but he should not be swearing. All it does is cheapen his argument. Gain respect by giving respect, even if it's to a President who is very unpopular and has made many mistakes. However, at some point a reality check is in order, and Bush must come to terms with his choices and be held responsible for the advice of his Republican peers.

    At this point I don't know why anyone would take two seconds to listen to what Pres. Bush has to say. I think he forgets that he's really unpopular and that what he says and what he does only makes democrats look better.Pres. Bush has been full of it since he was sworn into office. Biden knows exactly what he's talking about.

    Biden for VP
    Glad to hear someone say that word out loud in regards to Bush, it was long overdue. The most powerfull nation on earth has been reduced to a scared society because of him and his cronies. I think when you have the courage to sit down face to face with your enemies as opposed to name calling on TV from half way around the world you stand a better chance of scaring the heck out of them if you are coming from a position of power.

    May 15, 2008 03:06 pm at 3:06 pm |

    "if the president disagrees so strongly with the idea of talking to Iran then he needs to fire his secretaries of State and Defense, both of whom Biden said have pushed to sit down with the Iranians."

    -The President wasn't referring to Iran with that statement. He was talking about Hamas. There's a difference.

  933. Logic Man

    The President finds fault in situations that only benefit him and his party. It's ok if Condi or Gates says that. Republican foreign policy is seemingly pure idiocy for the most part. When has not speaking to enemies or people you disagree with ever solved a problem? It's just like when family members don't speak for twenty years over some silly family dispute. They go on with their lives, but the problem remains and they never speak. But take a family that decides the sit the rivaling family members down to talk. They often resolve the dispute instead of continuing to waste time not speaking to one another. Resolving issues involves communication on any level. But if you are a thick headed globalist or neo-con then it's either their way or no way. That's unfortunate and unacceptable. Obama in '08.

  934. Obama is a no win for dems

    I can't believe the day would come when I would agree with Bush. I disagree with Bush on just about every pssible thing, except this. I totally agree that Senator Obama is the wrong person to handle terrorism in this country. He has a terrorist that he calls friend. One of the people resposible for the start of Obama's political career in Illinois, an admitted, proud terrorist. Since he seems to have no problem with that, I would look to see the Iranian prime minister, Hommas, and even Bin Laden himself invited to the white house to have a nice little sit down with Obama. None of this would suprise me. Senator Obama is the worse possible candidate to combat terrorism.

    May 15, 2008 03:07 pm at 3:07 pm |

    Bush inherited the fallout of his predecessor, Bill Clinton's, soft approach on terrorism. For Senator Biden to say that it is the current President's fault is the pot calling the kettle black!

    This is an outrageous statement from the President of the United States. This can not be brushed aside. He is involving the world into our political system. Clearly it is an attack on Obama! I would like to see more of our elected officials come out and condemn the Presidents remarks. We will never bring about world peace unless communication between those with views who differ from ours is immplemented.

    Hey Bush just does not know what he is saying. Keep this up Mr. President we need you to keep poking this sort of remarks at the democrats. You are the #1 Mis Speaker. With your remarks we will have Mr OBAMA in the whitehouse soon.

    What do expect from Bush, rationality? He hasn't displayed any in the 7+ years he has been in office. I wouldn't expect him to be rational in the last months of his presidency.

    Bush was referring to Neville Chamberlain in WW2. If Biden believes the problem of appeasement can be applied to Obama, maybe he should tell Obama to take a harder line with terrorists.

    Tell 'em Joe! Seriously, if more people stood up to the ridiculousness we would be much better off. Truly, Condi, Gates, Patraeus, Powell... all good people. If they had only had the balls to stand up to the few, the weak, the Cheney/Rumsfeld/Bush mockery of the Constitution, the world and peace and reason in general, we might not have gotten in to this mess to begin with.

    Good OL' Joe. What a stupid comment to make about a sitting president. It is no wonder that he'll never be a serious contender for president himself. It is his party that caused 9/11. When we have a weak president like Clinton or the rest of the Dems (bunch of sissy's) who are afraid to confront our enemies, we are sitting ducks. The Dems are the ones who make us look weak in the world. Their weakness caused 9/11.

    Look, you have to speak with your enemies, it only makes sense. If you dont talk to them even just to let them hear you say hello America can get a sense of what these organizations are about. Its alot better than being bombed and wondering What and Why?

    Also Hamas is an elected governemnt official so we want the middle east to have democracy and they voted terroist. Whats the difference we voted Stupid and Flat Out Retarded with no care for this nation twice!!! We need a change America please be smart Harvard smart and vote Obama In 08

    This my friends is why we are seen as fools in the eyes of the world because we have gone along with this crap from President Bush for almost eight years. I cannot wait until this guy gets out of Washiington and goes back to Crawford and think about all the damage and lives he has cost sense he's been in office.

    And we'd be even more stupid to accept another four years of Bush (through McCain) who would keep in place the policies that has torn this country into shreds! I agree with you 100% Biden! We need someone like you who has common sense and expertise dealing with foreign policy matters because neither Bush nor McSane gets it!

    It's about time that this is said by a elected official. The Bush doctrine has weakened this nation and placed it at risk. Talk does not equal appeasment, no talk equals isolationalism and firmentaion of issues.

    We need to deal with issues head on in a mature diplomatic way, that is not the way of the Bush adminstration.

    What is this? Serious hard-nosed truth from Washington? Wow, Mr. Biden...I applaud you for telling it like it is. Now, if yourself, and the rest of the Senate and Congress would tell the REST of the truth, about how screwed up this country is because of the current administration, who apparently got their education from a combination of G.I. Joe cartoons and evangelistic ramblings....then maybe together we could send a message to the rest of the world...after we delivered the criminals to the courts.

    I cannot believe this man that has done more damage to US credibility in the world stage than any other US president. The man that brought his only partner in the world stage, Mr Blair down for being his poppet. For Bush to come up with such a crazy accusations is just beyond me.

    Considering his dismal track record in the last 8 years, he is probably the least qualified president in US history to celebrate the anniversary of state of Israel. He should go and shut up just like Blair and disappear from public life like Blair had to do in UK. These two losers never helped anyone in Middle East including the Israelis.

    You will not solve anything in that part of the world unless you talk to everyone on the stage and try and make everyone's lives better, and that including both Israelis as well as Palestinians.

    If the democratic base had focused more on substance and less or style, Sen. Biden would have been the democratic nominee.

    He is one of the most knowledgeable person w.r.t. Foreign policy in Washington.

    In this hour of international crisis, he is one of the best individual to lead this nation.

    I say that after staying outside the US for 21 years.
    I say that being a Muslim.
    I say that after seeing the values and the respect for Law here in the US.

    Senator Biden has only ever spoken brutal truth and this is one example of it. I think it would have been good to have a president like him who spoke his mind with integrity rather than a veil of political correctness. He is believable, rational, strong and has wisdom the whole world could use more of. What he said, I agree with 100% and it doesn't bother me one bit that he said a cussword. It does bother me that people will blow this out of proportion and tell him he can't control his mouth. Biden is not someone who lacks control, but is committed to telling the truth to the American people THE WAY THAT IT IS.

    On the one hand, it is truly sad that the Presidency has been brought to a state of such disrepute that such words could be openly addressed to a sitting President by any member of Congress.

    On the other hand, I am glad that FINALLY the Dems, or some of them at least, are showing signs of backbone. It is definitely past time that the constant bulls**t shoveled out by this administration be named for what it is.

    And thank you CNN for at least not "editing" the naughty word in the actual quote. It's refreshing to finally be treated like an adult reader by the media.

There is true value in the unfiltered communication of stark reality to the American public.

This latest "Bush Moment" conjures an image of the gun toting cowboy facing an imagined enemy at high noon in a deserted town – with no one watching or caring. Can we really survive another 6.5 months of this administration?

    Are colleges holding finals or graduations today? Where's all the college indoctrinated.....I mean college educated liberal talking heads today? If you can't count on them to be blogging every day like madmen do you actually expect them to be paying attention long enough to vote for Obama in November?

    Gates: "need to figure out a way to develop some leverage and then sit down and talk with them."

    How can one come to peaceful terms when one is looking for "leverage" before coming to discussions? True negotiations aren't fairly settled with one man holding the gun and the other wearing a blindfold.

    I am really disappointed at CNN for interrupting Barack Obama's speech after John Edwards' endorsement so that they can air Lou Dobbs' segment. Shouldn't you be covering the election?

    Frankly, I am sick of Lou Dobbs' and his bias opinions. He is rude to his guests and all he wants is to hear himself talk. Why bother having a panel when he keeps on interrupting them.

    Let them talk!

    Joe Joe Joe What'd did you expect for Bush to say? Something with even the tiniest thread of intelligence. After 7 years of his ineptitude you should know better. He's been full of it since day one.

    What Bush has said not only crosses the line and beneath the Office of the Presidency of the United State of America but also un-american in its reflection on the democratic candidates who are running for the same office. Bush has shown himself, again, to be a total idiot and will go down in history as unfit for the office he currently holds. January 2009 cannot come fast enough send this imbecile back to Texas where he belongs.

    You could have titled this post "Why Ken Loves Joe Biden" (although I imagine that would have appealed to a much smaller audience). Say what you will about him, you can't say he's afraid to call it as he sees it. In this case, he has called it correctly.

  1027. Andy in ATL

    Sounds like the Dems doth protest too much...

    Obviously, the criticism strikes too close to home for their comfort.

    The President was obviously way out of line to articulate the stated position of the Democratic Party in general, and Senator Obama in specific (July 2007 debate).

    Let me guess...

    If you point out Senator Obama's position on issues, you're a racist, right?

    It's about time our senators start straight talking. Thank you Biden for taking the gloves off. We have a lame duck President who still manages to keep stepping in it. I appreciate you calling him on his crap and calling it like it is. If all our leaders stopped politicking and started pointing out the inconsistencies, we might start changing America back – to a strong country that truly provides leadership and (dare I say) vision to the rest of the world.

    Why did Bush strike a deal with Ghadafi of Libya? Did he not arrange the mid-air bombing of Pan Am flight over scotland, among other terrorist acts?

    Why is Bush paying and negotiating with the Iraqi insurgents? Have they ceased to be terrorists?

    fear
    lies
    racism
    division
    isms

    that is their trademark, we know who use that and what the end results are........this is the USA, and we have come a long way so for the GOP and the clitnonistas to continue to use these isms and tactics, is unacceptable

    Bush "has increased the number of terrorists in the world"??! I beg to differ.

    I think it's obvious that the liberals caused this increase - the terrorists get so irritated when they hear that gay marriage has been upheld in California, that they abandon their families and devote their entire lives to jihad against the U.S.

    They really hate our freedoms.

    Fidel Castro said in his speach 2000 when Bush won the election in the Supreme Court. Quote " I hope he is not as stupid as how he look" He did prove to the world that he is stupid. I am not suprise with his speach in Israel.

  1092. Getting tired of this

    I'm starting to feel good about Obama's chances now. As the Republicans steep themselves in Karl Rove's dog-eared playbook of fear and smear, the country has moved on and too many Americans will simply not allow ourselves to be duped by that kind of politics. Not this time.

    You've played the fear card a few too many times folks and it increasingly reflects on your lack of respect for the American voter and your lack of leadership rather than having the effect you want it to.
    A united party of Obama, the Clintons, Edwards, Biden, Richardson, Pelosi, et al are about to sweep the floor with you. Enjoy early retirement

    THANK YOU Senator!! I am so glad that somebody will check this moron on his rhetoric. Diplomacy is one of the national elements of power. How can we use it if we refuse to talk to anyone? Wasn't it President Kewnnedy who said, "We should not talk out of fear but we shouldn't be afraid to talk."

    No one said anything then.

    The left wingers giggled with glee when Hillary Clinton was the one bashed and trashed.

    Don't expect our help now.

    President Bush is an evil, horrible little punk. History will judge him as the most incompetent, POTUS ever who led this country to the brink of total disaster. He has sullies the office he holds with these types of remarks on foreign soil. Can someone, anyone, name one good thing this idiot has done. He completely screws up everything he has done in life - and we're all paying the price. Our national nightmare is almost over. The next seven months will be long, way, way too long!

    It seems President Bush has hit a nerve with the Democrats and their candidates, especially Obama who has repeatedly stated he would sit down unconditionally with anyone! Biden has resorted to colorful language, even flat out lies, because the President has been unequivocable in not talking with Iran until they stop their nuclear program and Hamas until they argee to recognize the existence of Israel. Isn't politics wonderful? Even at the expense of national security.

    I hate to say this but I think that Bush was right. It would be irresponsible to meet with leaders of terrorist organizations. I am actually concerned that Obama is just not ready to be president. Nice guy but probably needs more experience.

    However, I think it is wrong for Bush to interfere in the election and attack obama.

    May 15, 2008 03:29 pm at 3:29 pm |
  1124. Rick in NYC

    Yeah Joe! President Obama will put an end to the senslessness of all this violence by not antagonizing our enemies like Mr. Bush has continued to do. Martin Luther King, Jr. said the only way to convert an enemy is through love. Now I'm not saying we have a big group hug with Al Qaeda, but if we take a mellower tone around the world, we may be able to lessen this nonsense. If that's appeasing, then fine. But it won't be that. I'm sure it will be careful and tactical and in everyone's best interests.

    Rock on Biden! Could not have said it better. Again mis informaiton is how the Republicans intend to win this election....reasonable doubt...fortunatley that goes both ways and most american have considerable reservations about how the GOP has managed this nation the last 8 years. Bush needs to go sit in the naughty corner. Not very nice to spread mean rumors Georgey.

What a fool, and he just can't keep his mouth shut long enough to GO. Just GO, Bush and shut up. No one holds the hand of the head of state who sponsers terrorism like you do. And you call someone else an appeaser?? SHUT UP. Get out of office! Right on BIDEN!!

    Wow, Bush didn't even mention Obama. Sounds like he is talking about Carter, Pelosi, or some other Democrat that has gone over there to boost their image and undermine US policy. Maybe Obama has a guilty conscious? I laugh everytime one of these Democrat hypocrits whine when they even think an insult is sent their way after all their childish insults of Bush over the years.
    The real news this day should be McCain's outline of his vision of a presidency. Public parliamentary question and answer sessions, straight talk on foreign policy, transparant government, etc.
    Instead, the press concentrates on babyish back and forths like this article. I doubt this comment will stay posted because enough room must be left for the hateful rants of the Obamites.

    Excellent choice of words Mr. Biden, I don't curse, but If i had to choose one curse word for this situation that'll be the correct one. How can the president of our country go overseas and say things like that? The man is the worse president ever, whats wrong with talking out problems with people in school that's what we were taught we even had conflict resolution officers, to mediate for the combative parties.

    I truly dislike fear mongers ... folks, Barack is being advised by very experienced military leaders. Moreover, he's not an idiot.

    Two things:

    1) we have bases in Bahrain, Oman and Qatar – the Oman base is growing.

    2) Obama would not hesitate to use strategic precision bombing – you know the type, it's the stuff they portrayed in the movie "Syriana", which is based on real hardware that both Clinton and Bush have used.

    Folks – pulling out of Iraq does not mean we won't have a military presence in the middle east (read the papers folks and stop watching "jay walking" on Jay Leno for a change). Talking to Iran does not mean we would not be talking to Iran from a position of strength. You know when you buy a car you look beyond the shiny surface – you know, you kick the tires, look under the hood, read the fine print – try doing that with events abroad folks (oh, I forgot, some of you dim wits purchased SUVs and homes with variable rate mortgages, while your credit cards are maxed). Obama is a smart guy. Don't let fear mongers make you believe that, because he holds his cards close to his chest on info you should all know – if you were smart enough, that he is weak. Jeez, you don't deserve him as president.

    Joe Biden is right! Its clear that Bush does not know history but I did not know until today that he does not even know his family history!

    George Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, worked for and profited from the Nazi's. Actually he profited off of all of the jewish families in europe. That is how the Bush's attained their fortune.

    Bush has no right to say it is not okay to talk to Iran and equate it with appeasing the Nazis before WWII when his family worked for the NAZIs!!

    I am not saying that Obama wants to work with Iran, but if the conditions were right, how bad is talking with Iran. I think it is better to talk first then see what happens as opposed to acting first and then asking questions later.

    George Bush, and his remaining supporters, seem to be under the delusion that you can kill an idea with a bullet.

    This is why the 'war on terror' is such a bad war... who is the target? Anyone who doesn't think exactly like we think? What is the solution? Kill them?

    Never take diplomacy off the table... both sides always have something to learn. Any one who sat in a high school debate knows this.

    Are you listening...REALLY LISTENING...to the person you'd hand this country to?

    McCain would have us keep walking in George Bush's footsteps...and those are steps that have very nearly doomed this country already.

    I have to say, even if Hillary finds a way to steal the nomination...there is nothing in me as an American that will permit me to vote for John McCain and his short-sighted, antiquated and dangerous version of a third term for George Bush.

    Those who support Bush-McCain's position on war, do you think you can afford to fight another war either in Iran or even in Sudan? Do you think America is that strong? In spite of their "tough" talk, do you think they really have the guts and finances to wage another war? Do you think they are really getting your support? Is your support genuine? Can you afford to write a check to Bush and McCain for their wars while at the same time pay for your gasalines at the gas pump???

    Senator Biden is absolutely right. President Bush was way out of line here. Biden would be a great choice for Obama's VP. After all. Someone's gotta call BS when we see it.

    Frankly, I am outraged too. one can look at any political science book and realize that preventing innocent lives through diplomacy is a much better way that fighting. come on, we are all human. we must have some common grounds. we all value family, we all value our lives. conversation has been and is the best way to resolve problems. I cannot wait till this president is out of office....

    These Republicans really fear Obama to urge the President to make a reckless statement like that. Bush and the Republicans are doing the only thing they know, to use fear for political gain. But America is not gonna buy it this time, or will we?

    Finally somebody who echoes the sentiments of the majority of the American people. It's about time someone high up in politics started speaking like an American. We've been saying that for eight years!!

    Biden is right. Bush is the worst president of our lifetime and now, here he is, trying to scare voters again.

    Good on you Biden; about time the proper ettiquete of the fake Washington goes out the window and real American reaction is displayed. It is shameful what the worst president in our modern history has done and has stated. I pray you don't appologize to NO ONE about your reaction. It was honest and to the point.

    As a centrist Democrat, I love Bush's description of Barack!

    "Barack The Great Appeaser"

    and my own:

    "Barack the Pacifist!"

    Go McCain Go!!

    I think we finally hit the point where we can all agree that Bush has finally gone off the deep end..

    Yes.. there were numerous other times... but this is a deal sealer.

    How in the WORLD did this man become out PRESIDENT!?!?

    Oh yeah....he STOLE the election.

    It is nice to see that a Senator is speaking his mind about the outrageous comments the president made in Israel. I would be intrigued to hear a response from Bush.

    It is about time a politician puts political correctness aside and speaks from the heart. This is the sentiment from well over half of our population and I would like to thank Mr. Biden for putting his comments in the public forum for the entire world to hear. Because our friends internationally need to know President Bush does not represent the will of the people of the United States.

    Why do our leaders go abroad and criticize their opponents, or in the case of the the Finance Secretary, our policies and economy.

    I don't get it.

    George W. Bush has undeniably added thousands to the terrorists, by invading Iraq! The intelligence failure that resulted in 9-1-1 occurred on his watch, thousands more have lost their lives as a direct result of his war in iraq, that he lied to get us into, and congress was stupid enough to support! To say nothing of the tens of thousands of ruined american lives of the wounded. He has supported kidnapping (rendition), torture, illegal detention, illegal snooping into the private lives of citizens, etc. As sooon as he is out of office, he should be arrested and tried for crimes against humanity.

    Sen, dont forget those neocons who surround Pres Bush – like Bill Kristol, even John Hagee – they are the ones responsible for misleading Bush into the war. Now they are aiming at Iran.....Bush is to be blamed to the extent he has surrounded himself by yes-men and turned tone deaf to the American public's cries.

    It's appalling that some Republicans will say anything about anybody for the sake of a percentage point. I do not blieve that any U.S. Senator of either party is an appeaser. It's disgaceful how, in the heat of a political campaign, politicians and pundits can seriously postulate that the words "treason" or "unpatriotic" could ever be applied to our legislative leaders.

    Being a long time democrat I may believe Republican ideas are stupid and smplistic but I would never, ever, say these fellow americans are unpatriotic, treasonous, or appeasing our enemies.

    Get real – the stakes are far too high for such foolishness.

    This is the worst president ever. As a republican, we can not allow or endorse our president speaking half truths about another political party in our country around the world. Isn't this, politics at the worst level. He seems like a 1st term politician at the county level smearing an opponent. Wow, this should be beneath you Mr. Bush, but I guess it is not. For once I agree with you Mr. Biden the democrat. If our guy Mccain does not come out and disagree with Bush then I have a choice to either vote for the dem or not vote for a Bush flunky. I voted for Bush and I have been ashamed for the past few years. Burn me once but I will not be burned again. Show some balls Mccain and slam this rhetoric and bring honor back.

    Senator Biden has no reason to be upset with the President for His childish comment he made in Israel. If Democrats had the balls to stand up against this administration, President Bush and Dick Chenney whould have been impeached and long gone.

    The Democratic Congress has nobody to blame but themselves. They are as responsible as the Republican for the failure of this great Nation under this administration. Shame on all of them!
