Hardly, and I can't believe you are gonna make me defend the president......
What you have shown me is the media trying to whip up a political frenzy and Obama getting defensive a little too soon.
I want to know, in George Bush's actual speech, where he mentions Barack Obama or any other elected democrat for that matter. "Some" does not equal
"Obama" unless Obama and co. defines it that way.
And look who is defining it that way. It's Obama, the democrats, and the media.
Just because (insert politician) says it is so doesn't mean it is.
Just because the media says it is so, doesn't mean it is.
It looks to me that anything that has a remote chance of being critical of Obama, or can be re-interpreted as such, draws a ton of blind anger from
Obama supporters.
And why would Obama and his supporters be angry in the first place?
IF George Bush somehow meant his speech to target Obama, why should Obama
take offense as being portrayed as someone to sit down and talk? I thought Obama was the man of change? Doesn't "change" mean a split from the old
ways of international politics as well? Doesn't "change" mean that we should engage in diplomacy and leave war completely off the table until
there is evidence without a doubt of an imminent threat?
I think Obama took offense because what George Bush said, whether it was about him or not, is being interpreted as a threat to Obama's ambition to
the presidency.
Obama jumped the gun with taking "offense". The democrats jumped the gun. If something happens between Iran and the U.S. between now and the
election, we will see exactly how big of a trap that the democrats got themselves into. This reaction, on part of the democrats, is the biggest gift
to those that want war with Iran short of Iran actually attacking, lets see if they take advantage.
Additionally, Obama's attitude on this whole issue scares me. He is acting like a little child. Obama's followers are in an almost cult like
adoration for him. They are practically writing songs and music videos for him. There are media
pictures
of Obama with halo's around his head and the such. This kind of fanfare reminds me more of what would surround Kim Jong Il rather than a democrat
frontrunner. The response Obama made to George Bush's "attack" is telling, no screaming, that the Obamamania movement is really starting to get to
Barack Obama's head.
