Get him, O!

Why does Obama need to respond? It is really giving too much credit to Bush to respond to that attack.

Who's listening to Bush with rating of 25%?
R U people kidding me!!!!!!!!

I have not looked at him as a President when he stole the nomination in the beginning.

I pray that GOD has mercy on your souls.

Go Obama! Bush is slime.

One should remember that Hitler gained power during a depression, where racism and nationalism was used to justify mistreatment of a people of different race and religion.

If anyone should be compared to that leader, it should be a man who condones torture of enemies, who appeals to nationalism to push policies to monitor and oppress citizens, who rationalizes invading other countries on false premises, and who uses religious and racial differences to justify it all.

What is scary is how many people actually subscribe to such behavior, and believe it rational. But history shows that during troubled times this is exactly how such situations occur, and are justified. Methinks Mr. Bush (and his followers) is not really a student of history - he only cherry picks concepts that he thinks can support his madness.

Great - a dialogue between Barack Obama and President Bush. A virtual face-to-face battle of words, only one of them will be using very small words, and the other one will make the English language sound like Shakespeare. But I won't name any names….

Barack, Hillary, Joe….

W's comments were so out of line that they deserve at best a dismissive back of the hand. Directed at Sen Obama this time, please let the others take it back to the President, his Press Secretary, etc. In fact, let's see Condi stand up for all Americans, all peoples of the world, and say, Enough, George. I am out of here.

Obama, you shouldn't even have to dignify those outrageous idiotic remarks from a madman like bush but I understand that as president this will be part of your job. I fully support your diplomatic tactics in trying to talk to our enemies. We need peace in this world and visionaries like you will make it happen. Dialogue has to start somewhere.

This election has been better than any movie in a long time. I can not wait to hear what he has to say.

Go get em' Barack !!!!

Go get 'em Obama.

It's smart to respond directly.

This is too funny!
Obama is going to respond to Bush's remarks.

I thought he responded yesterday, oh, I see, now his speech writers have come up with a more brilliant retort, then his off the cuff reply. Obama, thou dost protest too much!….

o.b.g. Obama is definitely an empty political program that keeps getting speeches and opinions downloaded to him, by his handlers…

So, maybe by the time the November election arrives,(that is if he wins?) he will have something cohesive in his memory banks..

Regardless of what Bush may believe about Barack, CLinton, or any other American politician, it is totally unbecoming of a sitting president to discuss domestic politics (directly or indirectly) in a foriegn country.

For George Bush to criticize anyone's ideas on foreign policy is laughable and pathetic. This genius that has bogged this country down in a war that is depleting our economy and military capital. This wizard who has managed to damage America's reputation and influence around the world. This Commander-in Chief who served one week as a reservist (?) and whose strategy skills would make it difficult for him to win a game of Monopoly against a 10 year-old. There should be a national holiday declared when he leaves office.

SHAMFUL DAY IN HISTORY 5-15-08

i am an american citizen,and for the words to come out of mr bushes mouth,especially on such an event on foreign soil, was kinda a let down of what we as americans believe in, he has took to a new low in his reign as president of the great US of A. he needs to leave office before we loose all standing with the foreign countries. for the first time in my life (i am 65) i am ashamed to call him a president or a leader of our great country. MR BUSH, YOU OWE THE WHOLE USA AND ALL TROOPS AN APOLOGY, WE WWANT GET IT, BUT YOU ARE A SAD EXCUSE FOR A LEADER.

GOD BLESS THE USA AND OUR TROOPS, ALL PEOPLE OF GOD.

This is the most rediculous thing any president has ever done.He should be branded as a traitor for making such remarks.

Remarks like that are not worth response.They should ignore them just like you would a child.Everyone says now that the republicans have struck a nerve.We will hear this all through November now.I think that talking with someone instead of blowing them off the map is a good idea.

it is obvious what Bush/Mccain and the hatefilled Republicans are trying to do. they are trying to appeal to the uneducated white voters that Sen OBama is not on their side. it's called race-baiting in its lowest form. bush is not a patriot of the US, he is a destroyer of what our forefathers have built.

Sen Obama loves this entire country, even those who spread lies and rumors to divide the country. He is for all US citizens. please don't let the Republicans liars convince you otherwise.

It's a sad day in America when our President is on foreign soil and turns on American people. Israel diplomats would never come to the U.S. and turn on it's own despite what political differences may be within their country. How can any country trust and respect Bush when he has no respect or love for his own countrymen.

Bush is a moron and has proved so every day of his filthy and corrupt administration.

Why should Obama even bother to respond to this idiot who's never been held accountable for any of his lies or errors in judgment, including the Bush Wars?

Look at this man's face! LOL! This is our next President? What a dufus!

Many people know that you are the better candidate Hilary. You're statements are far stronger - as well as other dems like Biden - than Obama could muster.

You have more courage, guts, knowledge and resolve. You know how to deal with this Repubs as they oppose you for many years (even if you campaign for something that would benefit everyone), they've called you names and prayed that you get hit by lightning. You fought them tooth and nail as well as reached across the aisle and worked with them.

Unfortunately, we know that a little over half of the dems want the new exciting kid on the block. Enough to put you aside.

While we heed your call to support him in November, we also ask that you remain committed to your cause. If offered a VP spot, please don't accept it. With your grasps and knowledge of issues, you are best to be the majority leader. I bet you'll do more than Pelosi and Reid combined. For you can get things done and not afraid to take on the bullies.

I can only pray and hope that the Obama who wasn't able to answer my question about the difference in Insurgency and Terrorism do not get his behind kicked by the likes of Iran and Russia and North Korea. I hope he can stir this economy back to where it should be. For our future and our lives and our children's lives are at stake.

MSNBC this is from the heart, pleast post this comment. Thank you.

Get him, Barack!

While many Israelis appreciate Bush on an "the-enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend" basis, Israel has not exactly thrived under Bush's US leadership.

Anyway, Bush has some nerve. His way has been tried for 8 years - and has been a terrible failure. ANY alternative option shouild be welcome at this point.

An American in Canada for David - What is your problem??? You are acting like a 5 year old.

Here you have a presidential candidate who is trying to fix what Bush did and you are criticizing him? Looks like you rather have Bush for another 4 years. You are sick and immature. GROW THE HECK UP !!!

It would be awesome if Clinton and Edwards showed up on stage with him. I know it won't happen - the primary season isn't over yet - but it would be an incredible moment of solidarity, strength, and unity.

Just another stupid remark from our stupid President. The only people Bush would sit down and talk with are the ones willing to line his pockets. Peace on Earth isn't in his vocabulary. What goes around, comes around. Obama, grab Bush by the throat and don't let go until he's dead. Or. IMPEACH him!!!!!!
OBAMA

I guess Mr Obama wants to complain some more. All I can say is the President, who was not even refering to Obama or anyone by name must have struck a cord clearly identified by the fact that, "He (Obama) Doth Protest Too Much"

The sadest part is Obama does not realize that the comments had little to do with him if at all and were all about a U.S. President's committment to Israel. Just another example of Obama's lack of foreign policy skill. I mean really, does he really need to send out a press release and now speak publicly today regarding an issue he has no proof is even directed at him…we are full of ourself, aren't we?

Bleeding heart

Go after him hard Barack, show the people how you respond as a true leader

VERY SMART LADY

you just showed the world
how very smart=you are not

Prescott Bush anyone? I know he starts wars over his daddy's legacy. Now he's comparing Obama to his own grandfather?

very smart lady's comment is very stupid and bigoted. You don't call adult black men "boy" unless you want to be provocative. Your remark will result in me sending a donation of $100 to the Obama campaign today. Obama thanks you.

Obama '08

Vote McCain if you don't want to carve up our military's modernization programs!

Obama is a big cry baby.

How could any Obama supporter not be upset or disgusted that the Obama campaign is so adamant about not wanting millions of american citizens a chance at a re-vote in Michigan and Florida? Could it be that Hllary would clearly overtake him in the pop vote without any caveats? Obama and the leaders of the DNP have made a mess of things and as a result, I will not be supporting Obama or anyone who steals elections from better candidates. This elitism nauseates me.

No to Obama in 08!!!!

Does it take Obama 24 hours to come up with a response? I hope he doesn't have to think on his feet at President.

very smart lady - You are not very smart after all. You are voting based on smile and grin? I think you are voting based on color and it looks like you rather have Bush in power for another 4 years than Obama. You are sick in the head. Probably you should start packing up and head to Iraq since you like Bush so much.

CNN why didn't anybody report the Primary election resullt of my State Nebraska? Are we not important? Besides, we are not beign factored in all your popular vote permutations.
What have we done?

Democrats 2008!

He needs to put this issue to bed.

Our foreign policy and diplomacy is hard to swallow. McCain and Hillary have already declared the war on Iran, China and Russia. They accuse Obama of crimes he has never committed.
And, President Bush is just adding more fuel to the fire.

How is Obama going to respond? By saying "PRESENT" like he did the entire time he represented Illinois? haaaaa

Bush was absolutely right! If we have Obama as our next president, he will have us shortly lying in a bed with snakes and vipers. They want all Jews wiped off the face of the earth. Wake up people what are you thinking to actually vote for Obama????

How will he deal with this problem? He's going to give a speech. How does he deal with every problem? Obama gives a speech. I mean, Obama settled the race problems in America with his last speech so now, world peace will break out because he gives another speech. He is just so talented and holy, I don't know why he isn't runing for president of the world, or rather the entire universe, he;s that good. I'm another ex-dem voting for McCain. If you wanted roe v wade. you shoulda voted for the woman in the pants suit.

Go Barack! Call him out on his stupidity. The Truth is what we need. The Truth is what you deliver!

Many people know that you are the better candidate Hilary. You're statements are far stronger - as well as other dems like Biden - than Obama could muster.

You have more courage, guts, knowledge and resolve. You know how to deal with this Repubs as they oppose you for many years (even if you campaign for something that would benefit everyone), they've called you names and prayed that you get hit by lightning.

CNN this is from the heart, pleast post this comment. Thank you.

i would vote for bush agian.
bue i will not vote for obama

Kudos to Kel from Auburn, AL!
Get him, O!
A President who is tough, AND smart….. Now that's a switch!

Just the beginning of the GOP attack machine kicking off an election year. GOP's, do us a favor an keep a leash on your village idiot. Your attacks might seem more appealing by someone with a little credibility, oh yeah, you are the GOP.

To Very Smart Lady- I think you are not so smary by calling Obama a "boy". Regardless who you vote for- he is a very grown man. Keep your racist remarks to yourself.

Bush, is about to get schooled on how you address the International community. He'd better take notes b/c school is about to begin. To all the naysayers you'll learn something so take of your Hillary blinders long enough to learn somthing and let it seap in those thick skulls.

Bush didn't even mention Obama. And the person he mentioned who espoused a "sit down" strategy was a REPUBLICAN!

What the heck is Obama doing? He's going to sink his own ship.

well said, Dean!

President Elect Obama is taking the reigns!

i would vote for pol pot obama's idol

but i will not vote for obama

I really do not see any reason why Obama should respond to this. Obama should just see this as the asinin comment of the architect of the worst foreing policy in US history.

If endorsements matter:

Barack Obama Endorsements:
Kerry: 2004 Presidential loser
Kennedy: 1980 Presidential loser
Edwards: 2004 and 2008 Presidential loser
Carter: 1980 Presidential loser
McGovern: 1972 Presidenial loser

Hillary Clinton Endorsements:
Bill Clinton: 1992 and 1996 Presidential Winner

Will democrats learn they cannot elect a president on the far left. When will we stop screwing ourselfs?

Hillary 08

Ohiovoter - Look at this man's face! LOL! This is our next President? What a dufus!

It is a mirror, look again. You are voting based on how a candidate looks? It is an excuse for your racist mentality. Grow up. It is the year 2008. You are stuck in the 80's

I think CNN and other main media are so biased regarding political comments no matter what. Pres Bush in my opinion is a good president and stands for the good of people and our nations freedom and morals. Yes, I am a conservative and although I may not agree on everything, I appreciate our president's stand regarding Israel. If we allow future presidential candidates to give in to the enemy and soft soap our stand as a nation on terrorists acts then we will be facing a war never known to man. I read previous blogs before sending mine and it seemed very one sided against Bush which is very biased leaving no room for a fair and balanced opinion. The former democratic president did not prove himself in the oval office and it will take some real convincing to prove that those now running will make it better.

Although I don't agree with the time and place that President Bush made his "Call Out”!

I do agree with the fact that A Left Wing Nut Job in Training Pants isn't qualified to represent us on the World Stage!

In fact it is the reason I voted for Hillary during the Primary and will vote for McCain this fall.

For those that can remember the "Carter" years you know as well as I do what happens when a Left winger with no experience finds himself elected to our highest office.

For those to young to remember it was worse then what we are facing today as a nation.

McCain 08

Obama should learn from Bush…Obama is weak…clueless…concerning real world issues…fact is..he is not ready to be president….period.

Bush has proven that his administration prefers to use violence over communication and that is obviously not working for this country. He just doesn't get it.

i would vote for idi amian

i will not vote for obama

Thanks Barack for speaking out against this warmonger George W. Bush take it to him and McCain good. It was despicable what he said in Israel and I hope you go after him once you become president.

Democrats it's time to unite and take these republicans down. Help us get them out of office we must unite around our nominee once he / she are chosen.

We can not afford 4 more years of McCain what so ever never, never.

we all know where stupidity was born live in white house born in texas

Obama is a disgrace.

God help us if he gets into the White House.

Obama loves it! It gives him a chance to try to get peope to feel sorry for him. Poor thing. Let him give a speech to get more free air time. Not as if he needs it. He gets all he wants. " Don't anyone dare disagree with him". Please take him a pillow.

I am a Democrat not voting for Obama in November

REGARDLESS

Thanks Senator Clinton. Keep defending Senator Neville Chamberlain from those harsh critics of his. God forbid we act tough on a country that threatens to wipe off the face of the globe one of our most strident allies.

Rip him a new one Barack! We always knew he was an idiot and this only corroborates what we have known all along. And now his twin, McCain is showing he is just as ignorant. McCain and Bush are both a joke! Neither have any business being in leadership positions.

Go Obama!

CNN - bias. Shame!!!!

why don't the dems let obama stand on his own 2 feet.. or are they going to change his diaper for him if he gets elected president?

It is important for Obama to respond because he will need to respond to sharper criticism in the general election. Bush just sounded off the bell that the foolish tactics of the Conversative party will now begin.

But I got a message for you Repubs out there. Your party is falling down and Obama will be laughing all the way to the White House

Republicans are nothing but fear-mongers. But sadly, they wouldn't use this tactic if it didn't work. That's how we ended up with 8 years of GWB.

Now it's, "Obama is a Muslim! Obama is in cahoots with terrorists! Elect Obama and there will be more terrorist attacks! Obama is a radical black racist just waiting to enslave all white people! Oh, and don't forget, The Gays from Cali will spread across the nation and make all of your children become gay!!!

Vote Republican."

Mika,

Obama and his bunch are of the Appeasement doctrine.

In 1979, Dr. Brizinski (an Obama advisor) and President Carter turned over Iran to the Ayatollah's to apprease the Iranian clerics. Look what we've got. This is recent history.

Now, what does Iran want? Iran made its intentions clear, over and over again. What would a presumptive President Obama hope to achieve? He is naive and it is showing.

Obama is an appeaser. He votes Present not to offend anyone. For Obama to be angry at President Bush shows his vulnerability with the American voter. The Democrats might give Obama the nomination, but America will not elect a defeatist appeaser.

By reacting in this manner against President Bush, the Democrats showed their vulnerability. Obama has been getting a free ride from the left media; no longer will the American public accept this.

Moses

Anytime Bush makes another idiotic comment, all the ignorant rednecks come crawling out like cockroaches.

news alert
everybody is in awe obama will respond. you guys treat him like he is the second comming of jesus, we all know what happens to the people that are labeled that way. calm down the hype

Joyce, NY:

no one cares about Hillary anymore and she certainly has no place in this thread. so keep your "heart" felt comments to yourself b/c nobody cares

Yes yes yes….he needs to respond not because it validates Bush's statements but it will allow him and the democratic party to put their views of foreign poilcy on the table and it will resonate with the electorate. Like it or not Barack is cunning….the board is set and the pieces are moving Democrats! Mississppi exposed an open wound…cant you smell the blood in the air!! We need to come together and put the Great Elephant out of her misery! Bush may have set the stage for the total erradication of the Repubican party! Dont let the undercover Op Chaos republicans on these blogs fool you..WE DO NOT HATE EACH OTHER!!! Lets go in for the kill….

DEMOCRATS '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are you nuts talking about? Even McSame knew he was talking about Obama he and went on to expand, directly saying Obama's name. Some idiots will defend Bush just to be spiteful. Will vote Republican just to be spiteful. I am confident this is what was meant by becoming bitter and voting against your own interest. Thanks for proving him correct.

Bush never mentioned Obama's name in his speech. Why does Obama think Bush was talking about him? Some guilt perhaps?

I think Obama's new slogan for his presidential bid should be:

"I was taken out of Context"

I'm so sick of Obama's flip flopping, I can't even take it anymore. I wonder if his "I was taken out of Context" rebuttal to everything can hold up until November?

Hillary 08

Why can't he just respond? Why do we always get advance notice when it comes to sen obama's views. Oh right! He stinks when he talks spontaneously. So all his responses have to come from a tele prompter.

You Sen. Obama cannot let this go unchallenged. To do so would not only be a display of weakness to the Republican party, but to people of the world since this ridiculous attack took place on foreign soil. This is just another item of un-presidential things that Mr. Bush has done in a LONG list of un-presidential things. I wouldn't spare anything with him either.

Very Smart Lady- you're just a bitter women, a man hater.
Your comments make no sense. Have you been watching any news.
Obama has cerried hismself with dignity his intelligence shines bright. What to you want him to do? Frown. Come up with something better/ The real reason you don't like him would be nice.

you hillary and bush supporters are in the ane aisle with bush
vote for who you want to.

and if a miracle happens you nom. wins. then live with it, want be pretty you haven't lost a loved one in the no good war. so you have no clue

Hey STUPID LADY! "I like my presidents with a little sophistication"

Bush is sophisticated? What planet are you on?

TO: very smart lady and bubba,

ARE YOU GUYS AS STUPID AS YOU SOUND?????????

Obama 08

And the republican racist are out in full force. This should be an interesting election.

Very smart lady. What does that mean? Did you think about what you said before you said it.

Funny how all these liberal democrats are offended by Bush's remarks about not appeasing terrorists. Could this be their plan to "rollback the Bush damage"??

omg,, and we call bush our president? its time,, obama to get him, and get him GOOD,,, how dare this current president say this after what hes done to our country,, im shamed at this comment from bush,, we should have known he would PULL something like this,, to validate his mistakes or should i say, his action?,, GO OBAMA!!!!!!!

Bush is a hillbilly. Obama is a diplomat. What else can one say? Diplomacy is one important way for us to regain some respect around the world. Obama is willing to lead us in a diplomatic way. Enough of Bush-style gun-totin' old-West cowboy shootin' out the stars nonsense. We've seen what a rich kid from an oil family will get our country. I hope that once this Democratic race is finished, that Obama will take off the cotton gloves and start swinging big time. This Republican party, and its candidate, are so weak… all it will take is a couple round house lefts to knock 'em out cold.

I absolutely despise Bush, but he's 100% right on this one and I've never agreed with him on anything. I heard what Obama said in the debates and that's one of my main worries about him is that he'll not act swiftyly enough to defend this country if we need it. God help us if we get someone else whose inexperienced in the WH.
Hillary first, McCain if I must

Does this childish nonsense lower your gas / fuel prices or provide you affordable health care?
Isn't it about time for the American public to wake up.

lilahenna - i would vote for bush agian. bue i will not vote for obama

Lilahenna - Are you ready to pack your bags and head to Iraq? Hmm..that is what i thought. Wake up.

"OBAMA SUPPORTER" - Simmer down! You don't speak for the rest of us. NO UNITED STATES PRESIDENT HAS EVER MET WITH A DICTATOR and you idiots should know that. You are the ones that are traitors! You disrespectful, race card playing losers hide behind your ignorance. President Bush doesn't have to answer to you. Americans elected President Bush TWICE. Live with it, losers! Ohio will be supporting McCain in 2008!

GO MCCAIN

While Bush's comments were not made at an appropriate time, they do highlight a fundemental problem with Obama and his, apparent, foreign policy approach …. no wonder, obama is in such a tizzy over this ….

HOLD ON A MINUTE, BABY. IT IS MORE LIKELY THAT
THE TARGET WAS CREEPY CARTER, NOT YOU AS
PRESIDENT BUSH HAS OPENLY CRITICIZED CARTER
FOR HIS TRIP TO THE MIDDLE EAST AS DID YOU AND
MCCAIN. THAT ASIDE, I LOVED THE PRESIDENT'S
SPEECH WHICH PROVES THAT HE IS NO LAME DUCK.

PHYLLIS KUNZ

Obama is so self centered and thinks the entire world is thinking of Only HIM. What an Ego! Obama was the furthest point or person from President Bush's thoughts when he addressed the meeting. This is a prime example of how and why Obama is never going to be President. He obviously has no experience and has nothing to offer this country. Obama's not even qualified to make a comment on President Bush's speech, for he knows so little, if anything, about the foreign policy toward terrorist nations who wish harm on the United States. The more Obama talks, the deeper he gets into a realm of leadership that he knows nothing about. Obama continues to show his blatant ignorance and lack of experience in government. Obama also has vilified President Bush and shown no respect for the office or the man. There are also certain State Department Policies that should cause Obama to refrain from such comment. Perhaps Obama had better go back to school or check with his leader, Nancy Pelosi, about showing respect while on the world stage to The President and Commander in Chief . Just another reason Obama will NEVER get there.

This is what you do President Obama. You face problems that is concerning you and not run away from them. You set your record straight if you MUST. bush IS an IDIOT, too much weed and liquor i am sure.

Very Smart Lady-

You sound really ignorant. I would hope that anybody with a reasonable degree of intelligence or some one who calls themselves "very smart" would have a more substantive reason to vote or not vote for a president besides not liking his smile. Its the mentality of people like you that would put McCain back in office just to stick it to Obama. Yeah…that will teach America!!! It's scary that you are allowed to vote!!!!!!

Thank you CNN for actually posting an anti-Obama comment…

First off, a bunch of you need to get off your almighty high horse. You are no better than anyone else.

Second, Bush and McCain are not Republicans. They may be members of the party, but their ideals are not Republican. They, infact, stand by DEMOCRATIC ideals of the first half of the 20th century…

I know you Obama fanatics (because the online ones are) will resent that statement, but that's because you don't know facts from rhetoric.

People like Barr and Ron Paul are true republicans… much like many democrats today are socialists in hiding. The truth is you can't lump people's views in two parties…. I'm a Ron Paul Republican, and I hate George Bush…

We need a president that realizes keeping troops in any nation is absolutely wrong, and to realize we are no longer the lone superpower that must defend everyone else (korea, vietnam, kuwait, etc). Our nation needs to focus on our weakening dollar, exploring for oil, cut our huge FEDERAL government, and provide a free market for health care (our government runs half of health care now… you complain and now want the government to be more involved)…

It's time to send all of our troops home from 130 countries…

130 FREAKING COUNTRIES RIGHT NOW, and the cost to our taxes annually is 1 TRILLION DOLLARS…

I mean please wake up and SHUT UP WITH CHANGE…. you have no idea what you are truly talking about right now….

Why is it that Obama is all over your news channel and Hillary Clinton seems to get so much less airtime? Clinton has addressed Bush, just as Obama has, however your news teams interpretation makes everything that happens or is said about Obama a much bigger story. Unfortunately, you have the power and are able to decide what stories you will run and pay the most attention to. It is such a shame that the democratic nominee has not been determined yet, I think CNN is certainly doing their obvious part in making their favorite candidate known.

lilahenna- Please vote for Bush. Obama might can teach you how to spell. You and Bush have something in common.

Get him Barack Go at his Neck him and Mshame I am tired of these Lying Republicans and there fear tactics

very smart lady May 16th, 2008 9:22 am ET

Obama cant find his a– with both hands. I will not ever vote for the strange boy with a stupid grin on his face. I like my presidents with a little sophistication, not a grinning jack-a–. I know you wont print this, but so what?

Please. You need to remove the very smart lady. This is ignorance and shows no regard for respect and not even honesty in hs comparison. We don't need another president who thinks and acts like this.

To very smart lady

You are not smart. Not it all! I am so sorry for you but you are not smart.

very smart lady
You misspelled the name, its spelled "B u s h" since that was obviously whom you were describing

Caucus = Peer pressure Test!

Ok, she can have her precious Florida votes (and even MI even though Barack's name was not even on the ballot) just as long as all the caucus VOTES get counted too. in that case, Obama is still in the lead handily. You cannot change the rules of the game in the 4th quarter unless you also count the raw votes in the caucus states (even the low-end of the "average number of voters per delegate" will do).

I'm sure now that video confirming John McCain agrees with Obama's position on talking to Hamas is now hitting the media, the one guy not looking forward to Obama's response is John McCain.

Drive a nail in his coffin Barack, show America what hypocrytes John McCain and GWBush really are.

Obama needs to stick to his vision outlined throughout this campaign. He should not back off dialogue with our enemies…He will win at the end since Bush/McSame policy failed…

Hey Bubba - go git yur six pack out the tub, git your chew off the floor and go sit out on dat der porch and think up sommore brilliant stuff to say.

So Obama has to wait until the teleprompters are all in place — again — before he can say something "substantive," like responding to Bush. But wait — he also needs to have six American flags placed behind him when he does that. Obama people, you've got yourselves one hell-of-a "green" candidate with absolutely NO substance. Congratulations!

Oh yeah, "Colie Brice" - You're right - Obama and Hillery are much more sophisticated. Hey, how about Jimmy Carter? haaaaa

To An American in Canada for David = Stay there

why is everyone so upset? obama attacks bush's foreign policy all the time. i'm no fan of bush, but come on, don't be such a baby! turn about's fair play.

Obama "tough, direct presidential diplomacy with Iran without precondition" these are his words. Lets say he wins. He pulls the troops out of Iraq. He goes over to Iran and has his appeasment meeting. His next quote is "peace in our time" Iran invades Iraq… Obama says Iraq was not ready to defend itself it was the Iraquis fault for not preparing better when we were there to help." New terrorists networks form and then we see another attack on the US. You guys can call me a prophit when this happens IF Obama wins.

Jackson,

you have a shoirt memory…………..

Hillary tried to unite the party…………Obama had nothing to do with it.
I would not unite with Obama and his wife who now loves AMERICA.

A DEM voting REPLUB in NOV

Better than the weeks we waited for him to explain the Rev. Wright. and took Michelle 3 or 4 days to say she didn't really mean what she said about the U.S.A. You libs are really a sick lot.

Barack Obama understands the world court of opinion. John McCain is lost without a teleprompter.

A vote for John McCain, his temper and seemingly eagerness to continue meaningless wars and perhaps adding wars will likely necessitate the return of the DRAFT.

OBAMA

WE REALLY DONT CARE..

YOUR "NEW POLITICS" SCARES ME…THE WAY YOU SHUT

HILLARY OUT WITH FLA. AND MI…HOWARD DEAN AND YOU

HAD IT ALL SET UP

HILLARY OR MCCAIN 08…..OBAMA YOU CAN COUNT FL. OUT!!!!

OK George and John McCain-Bush…senior administraion officials have supported talking to Iran, so I guess you should fire them. And let's look back in history. Hum, Nixon talks to "enemy" China…and restores relations. Reagan talks to "enemy" Russia…and restores relations. Bush talks to Qadafi/Libya…and restores relations. Numerous administrations have talked to the PLO in an effort to restore relations. The list goes on and on…presidents talking to "enemies" in an effort to create diplomacy. It is horrific that Bush made the statements he made…and that McCain-Bush is supporting it. Time for a new way in Washington! Go Obama!

How can yopu trust the Presidency to Obama when there is a clip on youtube showing his ignorance of many States are in the union. He is shown to say 57 states! Unbelievable.

Obama is a lot of hot air. NO substance.

Moreover, his advisor Suzan Rice said not so long ago that Obama is not ready to answer the 3am call! Is that revealing?

Moses

As long as the media keeps airing the speech Obama has no choice but to respond. Hit them where it hurts. Bush's message is tailored to appeal to the uneducated among us, therefore soundbites are oftentimes taken as facts.

Dukakis said it all; that Obama is better prepared to handle the republican's kitchen sink tactics than he was during the eighties. After Obama's speech today, McCain will live to regret why president Bush made those comment.

this is another reason why bush will go down in history as the worst president ever.

It's comments like Natasha makes ?supporter of Democrats that makes the rest of us Democrats look just stupid—
Nobody stole anything—If Al Gore would have carried his own state of Tennessee we would not be in this fix—

Obama,

Time for another flowery speech with no substance.

Oh, so I guess someone wrote his speech for him on this issue.

President Elect Obama is taking the reigns already. I can't wait for him to be the BEST PRESIDENT of the modern era!

My daddy can beat your daddy up

I cannot beleive the amount of people who are defending the babbling idiots remarks befrore the Kennesett. Bush "the fool" who has done so much to help grow the ranks of terrorists world wide. Bush "the fool" who has tarnished the name of the USA world wide. Bush "the fool" who cannot even pronounce half of the words that dribble out of his mouth. Obviously the lowest approved president of all time still has some supporters.

bush is a confused man. honestly i was initially in support of the war and the mid-east policies, but over time, i have discovered the president is too arrogant to go for peace even when he sees an opportunity to do so. above all, for a President to denounce the ideas of fellow countrymen (whether justifiably or not) on foreign soil is a vivid show of amateurism.
obama, to me, represents a new hope, light and change to the entire world and not just the US.

IMPEACH Bush before he starts another war to kill our kids !!!!!

Im proud of Proud1of 26% in WV and Smart Lady, you get any smarter and your gonna explode. You be careful there gal and try not to think too much.

Obama is a communist. And who cares that bush has an approval rating in the 20 % area, congress' approval rating is way lower, and has been for some time.

Democrats and Republicans are both liars and power hungry crooks, when are you people going to wake up? Probably after Obama is elected and he accomplishes nothing.

You people are in for a rude awakening.

You appear to be very ill, please take your medicine…

I don't think anyone can compare anything to what the nazis did, that was inhumane. Bush is far-out man.

it is say when the president of the united states go to another country
and make remarks about a presidental candidate is so wrong.The
republican will go to great length to win the white house and we all
are american. Mr. Bush owe this country a lot more than after he started a war that should not been. He needs a head check to find out
what makes him right when he so wrong.

People have to understand that Bush is McCain's attack dog is this incident.
If this is not the case, then Senator Mcmcain should distance himself in the strongest terms from President Bush.
Plain and simple, you do not wash "your dirty clothes" in public. That's an absolute truth that everyone knows.

Why does the Obama feel so guilty?

He's got no experience to be Prez and I don't want to be speaking Russian or Chinese so I'll not vote for him.

No matter how many times I listen to Bush's speech yesterday, I can't find any mentioning of Obama. I even tried playing it backwards and, nope, it still wasn't there. Is Obama just inserting his name into the remarks so that he can appear "tough" today? Gotta' give it to him. He sees an opportunity to write a speech and once again thrill his throngs of blind followers with his oratorical prowess. Probably stayed up all night again writing this one. If Bush were to say "some people are just plain wrong about (pick any subject)" would Obama instantly insert himself in there too? Face it, he just wants to look tough by going after the sitting president. What Bush said yesterday was in no way out of line. (By the way, I'm an independent who does not make a decision based on speeches but on my own research)

Shame on Mr. Bush for making such comments. Obama should quickly respond to it.

What is Bush talking about? Here is a man who did not know foreign policy when he stole the election 8 years ago making stupid speeches like this. Who is the one rallying the American people to invade another country? I think he is talking about himself.

Hey Obama,

You weren't mentioned by name, but, IF THE SHOE FITS, WEAR IT!!!

McCain 08

To Chris S.

"Why is it that Obama is all over your news channel and Hillary Clinton seems to get so much less airtime?"

Did you ever study math?

Or are you still waiting for Snowhite and the 7 dwarfs to endorse Hillary and overturn the democratic nomination?

PRESIDENT BUSH NOW and FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clinton and OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO us _____USA a favor, call it quits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VERY WELL SAID, "MOSES"!

REPUBLICANS AGAIN IN '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, BUSH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VIVA BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bush always has been a moron, and always will be a moron, him and his frat-buddies are on the way out and he is desperit to make a legacy for himself other than 8 years of failed policies and the lowest approval rating of any president.

Obama will have to run against McCain, Bush and Hillary to win the election, and he will.

Obama is the GOP's worst nightmare - an intelligent, articulate, likeable, moderate, african american running for president - against McBush.

They are so scared they attack his wife just to find some leverage.

George Bush's Grandfather Prescott Bush built the nazi war machine he sold steel to the nazi's . On wedensday Sec. of Defense Gates said that the U.S. should open talks with Iran and Syria Sec. of state Condi Rice said the same thing. So when Obama said the same thing all of a sudden it's apeasement . THE BUSH FAMILY HAD LONG TIES TO THE NAZI'S LOOK IT UP (YES OBAMA CAN)!!!!!!!!!!

I believe a response will confirm that Barack is willing to hit issues head-on and show strength in his battle against the GOP.

I also believe that many of the anti-Obama comments on this blog lack substance or merit. Please come up with something that doesn't make you look ignorant.

Hey Smart Lady……………..YOU'RE CORRECT. Time to call a spade a spade. Obama is anything but qualified to be President ,and if it were not for the fact that there is a greedy faction of Democrats who hate the Clintons………….Obama would NOT be where he is today. Hillary Clinton was stabbed in the back by her own party. Disgraceful. She shouldn't campaign for anyone. If Clinton doesn't get the Nomination she deserves, she should quit. Let Obama sink or swim. Thank goodness for John McCain, the best qualified Leader for the Presidency anyway.
'

Hey Joe - get your facts straight. Your own party officials, including that wonderful Governor of yours, created the problem. Hillary supported the sanctions until she needed the votes. Blaming Obama makes no sense, at least not to any thinking person.

Dean from Colton CA, if you were Houston right now, I would buy you a steak dinner.

I am glad Sen. Obama is taking the direct approach to this insult. The Bush Administration tyranny is over. The Bush legacy of fear, hate and deceit will not be tolerated by the American people anymore.

Rip him a new one Barack!!!

YEP

SOUNDS LIKE CHANGE TO ME~

NOT

HE SOUNDS JUST LIKE BUSH WHEN SOMEONE DOES NOT AGREE WITH HIS VIEW~

OBAMA SHOULD HAVE SHUT HIS MOUTH INSTEAD HE OPENED IT AND REMOVED ALL DOUBT THAT OBAMA IS A TRUE IDIDOT

It's a new world, America. Talking with other countries' leaders beats bombing. Obama has said that the world wants us to take the lead in most crucial matters, but he certainly didn't mean bombing. One has to wonder what base of support Hillary is considering when saying she would obliterate Iran regarding nuclear weapons. Where did that come from? And why hasn't the media nitpicked that remark, as they do for everything said by Michelle Obama?

Go get him Bam! And, don't forget to rip Mc Cain!

Tear him up and tell the world about who is worst than Hilter/Bush/McCain and their thugs!

I guess Bush's approval ratings will continue to drop!

Worst president ever! Don't forget to tell the world how he lied that since he invaded Iraq - he doesn't play golf any more!

To "Cuacus=Peer pressure fest!"
stop being so stupid!!! The fiasco in Michigan and Florida have absolutely nothing to do with Obama or even Clinton for that matter. EVERYONE, including the candidates and the voters were aware of the rules. The candidates including Clinton AGREED to the rules. Those rules were broken by the DNC in both states and have been punished as per the agreements and all of a sudden, Obama is responsible for disenfranchising two states!!!
Use your head, be objective and stop the silliness. If you don't like Obama, at least be honest about it and why you don't and stop drumming up stupid reasons.

Mark… when you wrote "Time for another flowery speech with no substance" it seems you were talking about Bush, weren't you?

This is Does seem like reality tv because we get hour by hour coverage but this race is serious and if Mcsame wins We all Lost because we will still be In Iraq, We will still be 10 Trillion in debt and we will still have gas prices that are very very high so this is a litte more Important than a soap!

This is just another example of George W Bush's enlightening insight and overgeneralization at its best. The problem is that the American people have tolerated this man for 8 years. Smart lady states "will not ever vote for the strange boy with a stupid grin on his face"
This is precisely what happened in 2000 and 2004…I want a president I can have a beer with! Personally I want someone who is intelligent, bold and willing to be a great president…this is precisely why I AM voting for Barack Obama!!!! He is all of these things plus he knows the face of the poor. Lets put racism aside and vote for the best candidate. BTW, Most racists say they are not racists.

Bush is correct, Obama will say anything to persuade the public he is someone special, he can't and wont accomplish a darn thing as president if elected. I like how everyone defends him and knows nothing about him. Says a lot about how easy his BS is believed. Congress is the real problem. They are the ones stopping everthing from getting done like drilling here for more oil. Them Democrats, everytime a bill is put up gets tone of crap added…millions of dollars worth of crap instead of just going ahead and fixing the problem on hand. No wonder this country is messed up right now. But no…lets blame the President and take the easy way out.

Well, You don't have to vote for any of these three candidates. There are other candidates out there. However, everyone is so possessed with these three candidates that they cannot see straight. You can call Ron Paul and lunatic, nuts or crazy, but you would be sadly wrong. This man is pretty well respected. His entire political carrer has been fighting tooth and nail for the American citizens. He wants to restore this great county back to our constitution. Keep in tact our liberties. and once again make this county the shinning star in the world that it once was. but, people are so busy doing cheers for the captain of the football team that they can't see there way to any other options. It's pretty sad when the American citizens think it's ok to brush aside, toss, trow out or ignore our contitution. This is what our county was founded on. He is the only one out of all of these candidates that actually has a plan and tell what that plan would be. He is no stoop when it comes to the economy. He will tell you want you want to hear, but tell you the truth about our Goverments wastefull spending and our dependence on China's bank roll, which will be the death of all without firing a shot. So, go ahead and vote for the Politcal hungry Hillary, the blank resume Obama and the angry John McCain. Your going to get change alright, just not the kind that you will like. There going to do nothing once they get in office or at least not what they say they will.

Cnn this is the 3rd time I have tried to post and you keep blow my post out. POST IT !!!

The smart thing to do is respond directly. Show everyone you will not tolerate slanderous attacks from our lame duck President. Obama's foreign policy will be one of reconciliation. He won't just give in to the "bad guys." But at least everyone will know that that he is willing to listen as opposed to preemptively calling in the cavalry. We must EARN the respect we've lost over the last 7 years, since about 6 months after 9/11/2001.

Disenfranchised Florida voters are planning on attending Obama's May 21st Tampa rally and turn their backs on him… just like he is doing to them..

Narrow minded liberals at work…its time to think outside the tiny boxes you people seem to get your ideas from!

Barack why waste your time to this lame Duck president his approval rate is 20% no body listens to this guy or any republican for that matter. If I was President Obama I would not respond to any republican attack that what they live for so why give them credit let them bark like a dog all you have to do is put a leash on them.

Obama nomination means 4 more years of Republican policies. The man cant win not even self respect

Is there truth about it??

cuacus=peer GIVE IT A REST, SO IT WOULD BE OK FOR HILLARY TO STEAL THE ELECTION, SHES BEHIND IN ALL COUNTS. MAYBE SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE AGREED TO DISCOUNT FL AND MICH.
OBAMA IS WILLING TO LET THE STATES COUNT IF IT IS FAIR.
BUT THAT WOULDN'T HELP HILLARY WOULD IT?
FIND YOUR BRAIN!!!!!

Why is Obama upset about what bush said ?……..Bush didn't name names……But Obama if the shoe fits……Obama did say that he would…But now wants to lie about it…Just remember Obama….You are on record this time saying what was really said…….Hillary 08….Lets not make another mistake like we did 4 years ago…..

just goes to show that nobody is wrong all the time … Bush is right about NObama!

People criticised Bush for his apparent lack of intelligence. Now the Democrats have two pretty smart cookies running… What's wrong with having a president that people think is smart? My dad was an electrician, but I have never forgotten my white, blue-collar roots.

I look forward to hearing what Senator Obama has to say to President Bush and the country.

Maybe Senator Obama should have a good chat with President Bush… or would that be "appeasement", too?

Comments on whether the President of the United States was correct have been closed. WHY? OF course he was correct. Right on.

Its time for all these LAWYERS comments from the Democratic PARTY OF THE LAWYERS to be confronted for the foolishness that they are. Obama, Clinton, Edwards????? ALL LAWYERS with nothing but words to play with. I get tired of those who have done nothing constructive for 8 years always trying to sell me that they knoe better what to do. It always turns out that they have NO PLAN as was the case after the November election when the left had no plan for Iraq.

Why would any thinking person "EMPOWER a lawyer with a blank check allowing a "LAWYER" to control their future. Do you think they would do the same for you?

That's what I am talking about…take evil head on…

I like how CNN always seems to pick the right photo to reflect the emotion. Today, it is outrage. Other days showed confusion, sadness, sheepishness while most he's just as proud as a peacock.

why does anybody need to write a speech for me? He's smart enough to write his own speeches and usually they're quite brilliant.

In the overall scheme of things, who is to say if Barack took direct offense or not. It does not matter. What matters is public perception and with Bush and McCain weighing in on this issue, he is obliged to respond to "appease" the public. Fine, lets hear what he has to say.

So in looking at the big picture (this means beyond your nose), it is not be prudent to judge another hastily. Or would you like to be judged similarly?

These were ridiculous remarks by Bush. To say these things on foreign soil, during a nations celebration of it's birth, is hard to fathom even for this President. I think Obama needs to respond, but in a strong, diplomatic tone.

To the Hillary supporters who bust on Obama about this and everything else: When you start to sound like you're supporting Bush over Obama, you've gone totally beyond the realm of common sense. Don't be sore losers. Clinton will still be involved in the government somewhere. And yes, his speech writers came up with a great response. NEWS FLASH…Hillary has speech writers too. They get paid very well to make her sound good. Wake up people!!!!

He needs to be impeached!!!!!!!!!

Does Bush even know the difference between "Appeasement" and "Dialogue"? Such an idiot. Did they not jump all over Natalie Maine for dissing the President on foreign soil? And for those of you who say he wasn't talking about Obama and the Dems, what planet do you live on?

These idiot Bush supporters do not know the difference between appeaser and diplomat. Obama's policies are to be a diplomat and talk with other countries that the Bush administration has bullied and just pissed off even more. An appeaser is someone who lets their enemy take advantage of them. Big differences. Even Condoliza Rice and the Sec of Defense recently stated we should talk to Iran. Is Bush going to scold them?

Hey ohio voter. PUT YOUR FACE ON HERE. WE CAN ALL LAUGH AT YOU BASED ON YOUR LOOKS. WHERE IS THE LOGIC IN THAT STATEMENT?

I think Bush might be talking about Jimmy Carter?

He was just over there!

I listened to the speech given by President Bush and I in no

way heard him mention Obama's name. Obama is doing this for

PR, IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT THEN GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN.

If I remember right , they pulled the same bull on Hillary and put
words in her mouth to get attention.

This is just the beginning of what the Republicians are going to do
to him.

HILLARY 08

Bush shoots his foot again.. Just have to consider the source. With all this help Senator McCain will lose, only by a larger margin. President Bush just shows his lack of leadership and a great back-biting smear
ability. He is certainly frustrated at this point by all his misadventures.
Time he moves on.

What happen to Russia and China " they were the good guys in the fifties in Korea and Vetnam while I were on the DMC they sure were not shaking our hand. We are working hand and hand in space now if anybody being up their they know what a hostile place to have an enemy at your side so people change they have over time so can other country. Every body have a bless day.

October surprise for the new dummy, Obama, Michelle, tape of her ranting against "whitey".

Wonder if he would make a nice speech and throw mama under the bus too.

It's sad that Obama feels like the comment was directed solely towards him. By reading the text, it's quite clear that Bush is talking about all appeasers, both present and past, in the context of meeting with rouge nations and terrorist organizations. Obama has stated he will meet with any leader of rouge nations, but has not said anything about terrorist organizations, so his (and his political supporters) overreaction here is just sad. The world is much larger than just Obama after all.

Why is Obama even wasting his breath on Bush. We all know how much Bush is disliked so who cares!

Hello American People!

Bush-Obama: Two to tango

God Bless America!!!

It is amazing that CNN will let these comments refering to Obama as a boy and a dufus get in but 99% of my factually based comments never make it. Calling a black man boy what kind of moderation is this. They should be blocked forever! Why am i wasting my time this post will never make it.

Obama/Clinton 08

Bush never mentioned Obama or any other democrats. The democratic party and Obama should not be upset, unless….If the shoe fits…

Great! Let's get Obama started talking and talking and maybe we will then see how little he knows.

Obama is a wimp. Can we please elect someone with a spine for president?

Go Obama!!!! O8 Dems we need to unite and quit bashing Obama since he is going to be the nominee!!! This is a direct attack on all Dems and we need to focus on the general election if w
