Glad to see Obama has those chickenshits backtracking.

Again...someone should've told McCain....LOL!!!

This story says they were "caught off guard". Damn straight. They've been getting away with anything, and everything for the past 7-8 years, and got a real surprise when Obama/Dems didn't just lay down and take their beating.

• Repugs are in for a rough ride between now and November. People are sick of their asses. I love it.

Bush comments were aimed at Carter (sort of), not Obama, WH says

The White House today said they were caught off guard yesterday by the reaction to President Bush's comments about appeasing "terrorists and radicals" in the Middle East, which were interpreted to be a hit at Sen. Barack Obama.

If anything, the White House expected the president's criticisms to be seen as a slap at former President Carter, said Ed Gillespie, counselor to the president.

"There was some anticipation that someone might say, oh, it's an expression of - a rebuke to former President Carter for having met with Hamas. That was something that was anticipated," Mr. Gillespie told reporters on Air Force One, as Mr. Bush traveled from Israel to Saudi Arabia earlier today.

But instead, Mr. Obama yesterday issued a denunciation of Mr. Bush's remarks to the Israeli Knesset, during a celebration of Israel's 60th anniversary, claiming it was a "false political attack" against him.

Mr. Bush did not mention Mr. Obama, the Illinois Democrat who is likely to vie for the presidency as his party's candidate, or Mr. Carter by name. He did compare meeting with Hamas or Iran to meeting with Hitler prior to World War II, labeling this "the false comfort of appeasement."

Following Mr. Obama's response, the Democratic party exploded in a series of condemnations from each member of the congressional leadership.

Even the presumptive Republican nominee for president, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, got into the fray, using the incident to hit Mr. Obama, which then prompted another response from the Obama campaign.

I'm still wondering what's to explain. They should have just

said "so"?

You have a point.

That's what they usually do when they screw up (which is ALL the time).

Why do they care now? Hmmm.

;-)

Actually it is just a matter of Hussein's campaign trying to score a couple of unearned points. Nobody with any sense believes him in any event.

of our country.

It was the first day of the 2008 presidential campaign.

Watching Obama rip the GOP to shreds is going to be so much fun!

Oh...people are believing Barack, alright. And the WH knows it. Even the WH knows they have no credibility. You must be the only person in this world that didn't get the memo.

The WH and McCain threw him a softball on a silver platter, and he hit a grand slam.

Now they're pounding themselves in the head yelling "stupid, stupid, stupid". They don't think more than 5 minutes ahead.

That's why they're trying to clean it up now by injecting Carter into it.

But if you look at Bush's statement, he mentions a "Senator".

Sorry.

at how this one backfired

Absolutely, Nik.

He's not going to lie down and be swiftboated. Repubs got slapped back, and stunned on this one. Then were forced to "scramble" for an alternate excuse.

Good!!! I like what I'm seeing so far.

BIG TIME!!!

responded by getting into a pissing match with McCain over who would drop the most bombs on "the terrorists".

Zactly.

Between Hillary and McCain, a total "scarefest".

I was looking at Obama's/McCain's separate speeches and press conferences today, and the presence they both carry is so stark.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. I can't wait to see them on the same stage together.

Many people in our electorate don't read or listen. But they understand pictures.
