Bush Attacking Obama Is Bush Attacking All Democrats

What's it mean to be the presumptive nominee? People have your back.
Barack
Obama is defended by those who feel attacked [see Obama Gets Triple-Teamed
on 'Appeasement'].
Joe Biden:
"This is bull****, this is malarkey. This is outrageous, for the
president
of the United States to go to a foreign country, to sit in the Knesset . .
.
and make this kind of ridiculous statement."
"He is the guy who has weakened us," he said. "He has increased the
number
of terrorists in the world. It is his policies that have produced this
vulnerability that the U.S. has. It's his [own] intelligence community
[that] has pointed this out, not me."
Nancy Pelosi:
"We have a protocol, sort of a custom, informally around here that we
don't criticize the president when he is on foreign soil. One would think
that that would apply to the president that he would not criticize
Americans
when he is on foreign soil."
"I think what the president said in that regard is beneath the dignity
of
the office of the president and unworthy of our representation at that
observance in Israel."
"I would hope that any serious person would disassociate himself from
the
president's remarks who aspires to leader****p in our country."
John Kerry:
"What an irony to have the current president in Israel blasting
Democrats
from the Knesset when his policies have actually seen al Qaeda get
strengthened, they've seen al Qaeda be reconstructed, they've seen
Hezbollah
get stronger, they've seen Hamas get stronger, Israel more threatened,
Iran
is stronger and Iraq is in chaos."
"This is a disgraceful statement by the president ... He ought to
apologize to the American people for going to Israel and using the Knesset
and the celebration of the 60th anniversary of a state and a people that
we
all sup****t and that we're all proud of and using it for politics."
Update [2008-5-15 15:59:8 by DemFromCT]:
Harry Reid:
"Not surprisingly, the engineer of the worst foreign policy in our
nation's history has fired yet another reckless and reprehensible round.
More than seven years into his Presidency and in the sixth year of the
directionless Iraq war, President Bush has yet to learn that his brand of
divisive partisan rhetoric is precisely what has made America and our
allies
less secure. And for the President to make this statement before the
government of our closest ally as it celebrates a remarkable milestone
demeans this historic moment with partisan politics.
"President Bush's own actions demonstrate that he believes negotiations
-
at the right moment, under the right conditions and with the right leaders
-
can both show strength and produce results. He has relied on negotiations
with North Korea and Libya, two state sponsors of terror. And by
conducting
discussions with Russia, China, Libya, North Korea and Iran in recent
years,
President Bush has demonstrated his belief that negotiations can be a tool
to advance America and Israel's national security interests. I call on
the
President to explain the inconsistency between his Administration's
actions
and his words today."
Howard Dean:
"On the same day John McCain is talking about putting partisan****p
aside,
the President launched a cheap political attack while on a state visit
honoring the 60th anniversary of Israel, one of America's greatest allies.
Bush's outrageous comments are an embarrassment to our country, not based
in
fact and bring us no closer to our goal of ending terrorist attacks
against
Israel and bringing peace to the region. If John McCain is really serious
about being a different kind of Republican, he'll denounce these remarks
in
the strongest terms possible."
Obama doesn't have to (and shouldn't) do all the pushback. That's what
surrogates are for... and Bush just did his Great Uniter bit to help unite
everyone in the Democratic party behind Obama.

How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power
George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a
director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement
with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in
the
US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was
involved with the financial architects of Nazism.
Gee, I wonder if Bush was referring to HIS OWN GRANDFATHER, "Senator"
Prescott Bush, when he made his comments today?
Oh wait. We have nothing but LIBERAL RE****TERS working in a LIBERAL MEDIA
here in America!! How could I have forgotten that?
