Jen01:

Obama has repeatedly said he would appease terrorists. So if the Bush administration has repeated what Obama has already said......... then so what?

And I see no reason it shouldn't be a hot topic .......Obama shouldn't be ashamed of saying the things he's saying (even if most American people think he's wrong).

But this particular speech wasn't about him until the moment he made it so.

Right. So Obama was reacting to a speech that was clearly about him, though he was not named. This "controversy" has been completely hatched in Repugnant brains...and you wonder why the GOP is in a downward spiral
