It seems that although the numbers don’t look good for the former First Lady, that Mr. Sunshine New Kind Of Politician can’t close the deal. I thought I was in Wonderland watching George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. When the question was put to Goerge Will, his response was (and I’m paraphrasing) that Senator Clinton’s huge win in West Virginia was little more that “A bump in the road for Senator Obama.” 67 to 26 percent in a red state that Democrats need to win a bump in the road? A 65 to 30 percent win in Kentucky. Hey George. Is that just a bump in the road/ Obama may be well ahead in the delegate count, but again he can’t wrap it up. What he does do is declare it impolite for anyone to question him. He may well be unbeatable in the primary. Beyond that it looks like the general election campaign should make for some good TV.
George W. Bush.
If President Bush would only talk a little more when the opportunity is right, he’d have better poll numbers. “Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”
Now if anyone reading the President’s words to the Knessett can find something to disagree with, I’d love to hear it. But from the Democrats’ collective reaction, you’d think someone had b____slapped them in public. From Barack Obama’s mischaracterization of the speech as an unjustified false political attack. And Senator Biden’s huffing and puffing on the Sunday shows was just pitiful. President Bush finally did what most conservatives have wanted to see him do. Call something what it is. Hey Barry. We don’t need to use the office of the President to elevate the status of a tinpot dictator/terrorist who’s seeking nukes. If you want to know what Ahmadinejad is planning to do, just listen to what he says. He’s been talking a lot about the destruction of Israel in case you missed the memo.
