Obama to Respond to Bush Accusation

Posted by Maria Gavrilovic
(CBS)


From CBS News’ Maria Gavrilovic:

CHICAGO -- Barack Obama is expected to respond to President Bush’s “appeasement” accusations today while campaigning in South Dakota. Yesterday, Bush likened those who are willing to negotiate with rogue leaders to Nazi appeasers in a speech given at the Israeli Knesset. Although the Bush administration denies that the President was referring specifically to Obama, he and his campaign were quick to interpret it that way.

At a closed fundraiser in Chicago last night, Obama referred to Bush’s criticism in the broader context of Republican attacks. "We’re going to not only have to fight the Republicans, and all the nonsense that is going to be coming out of them – and I am impressed with the degree with which it has started coming out very quickly," Obama said.

Obama went on to criticize "the kind of politics we just saw today," and said he and his wife, Michelle, have been “battered, bruised and buffeted” on the campaign trail. “Knowing we've got good friends, strong supporters; knowing we've got a city we belong to, makes all the difference in the world,” he said.

Today will be Obama’s first full day of campaigning in South Dakota, and he’ll be joined on the trail by former Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern and former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle. The state’s primary is on June 3rd and offers 23 pledged delegates.

Bush may find his Hitler remarks backfiring on him considering his own well documented family history of appeasement, support and money laundering for Hitler:

There is no question that Bush and his dad''s friends conspired to raise the price of oil. I do not think even they thought that they could quadruple it in 5 years.

The cost of oil futures have been sky rocketing due to the United States occupation of Iraq, and the further threat of military confrontation with Iran.

Bush is driving the price you and I pay at the pump, and everything else that needs to be transported. The Republicans have imposed an invisible tax on all Americans.

This is a real issue that needs to be addressed and alleviated, but Republicans only want to distract from their agenda by attacking people personally with non related issues.

Bush''''s comments were definitely targeted at Obama and to claim otherwise is lying and cowardice. Republicans are sleazy and will say anything without a conscience.

Are you saying only the GOP will slime someone who opposes them? Isnt that what you are doing right here. Hypocrite.

Obama is whining that he and his wife have been battered and bruised, what a whiner. What do you expect, people to just accept your anti-American beliefs without question?

Today, George W. Bush and his supreme ruler King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia are plotting their further plans to drive the cost of Oil per barrel. President George Bush, John McCain, and the Republican Party supporters are all attempting to break the American Middle Class by diverting as much revenue to the top 1% elite.

Obama supporters, tell me how any of this is acceptable to you...

Obama, as senator, votes against making English the official language of the U.S.,
Obama refuses to wear the american flag as a pin,
Obama refuses to put his hand on his heart during the national anthem and
Obama dedicates his book to a hate mongering religious mentor who he has followed for 20 years. Then has to ask this spiritual mentor to stay away from the cameras until the election is over so he will not show who Obama really is.

Obama has a flag of a communist hero and mass murderer on his campaign office wall. What do you really know about him other than he is a flashy con man?

When Bush first ran for president in 2000, he criticized the Clinton administration for high fuel prices and said the president must "jawbone" oil producing nations and persuade them to drop rates. At that time, oil was nearing $28 a barrel.

Today, George W. Bush and his supreme ruler King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia are plotting their further plans to drive the cost of Oil per barrel. President George Bush, John McCain, and the Republican Party supporters are all attempting to break the American Middle Class by diverting as much revenue to the top 1% elite.

Saudi Arabia is the worlds most notorious sponsor of terror, and terrorists training camps. All of the 911wtc highjacking perpetrators were from Saudi Arabia. On September 11th the day of the airline highjacking all air flights were grounded, except for members of the Saudi Royal Family and other Saudis that needed to flee by air from the US, this was approved by President George W. Bush.

Posted by Mattcat25:The Republicans have done a great job by first allowing the 911 wtc attack, then conducting two unsuccessful wars against ragtag Islamic Rebel forces.

And all this is costing you and I into the $billions barrowed from the Peoples Republic of China.

Something has to change.

92% of the Blacks vote for Obama and that''''''''s not racist.

55% of the Whites vote for Clinton and thats racist.

Michelle and Obama whine when the going gets rough.

They constantly remind us about how Obama is going to save the world and how only Obama can do that.

The White media is constantly kissing his Black Azz.

Even the Democratic Leadership gives them every break you can think of.

My disqust is turning into nauseousness.
How much more of this can a reasonable person take???
