I understand why Hamas likes him too.
And don't forget he criticized the "settlements". Hamas considers Tel Aviv a "settlement". Maybe Obama doesn't, but he sure wouldn't leave a defensible border for Israel, no matter what he says about Israel's security.

Obama is speaking in code to Hamas. - and they both know it.

Although each individual slip up by Obama (in this case, agreeing with John McCain about something he dismissed earlier) doesn't necessarily do him a lot of harm with his supporters, the continuation of these slip ups will lead them down the same line of reasoning, that he's just another politician, and they'll never be able to deny that they were duped. It's somewhat satisfying, but little compared to the thought of Obama losing in the general.

“That’s a perfectly legitimate perception as long as they’re not confused about my unyielding support for Israel’s security,” Obama said.

Yeah- rhetoric like "constant sore" really shows support for Israeli security.

my Mom, a college professor, was at a luncheon for teachers yesterday, and was seated with all female, and mostly jewish colleagues. My Mom was (and almost always is) the only conservative there, in a sea of liberalism.

talk turned to politics. to a woman, they all delcared their unity with Hillary, in stark opposition to Obama, based largely on Jewish/Israeli isues and concerns with Obama and his percieved sympathy for the phakestinians, etc. she said nothing there, except the usual things, but told us all at dinner last night hoiw shocked she was at the lack of support Obama had in this regard. they will not vote for him. they did not say they would vote for McCain, but did not rule it out. that, or stay home.

This guy is signaling weakness all over the place.

The reason the bad guys like him is not because he's necessarily symapthetic to their causes, but because it's obvious he'll be a pushover in any negotiations.

Obama is simply not ready for the world stage. The man has no clue. It is a HARSH reality out there. Bush's flaw wasn't that he engaged in "cowboy diplomacy," but rather that he didn't foilow Teddy Roosevelt's dictum "Speak softly and carry a big stick." He wasn't enough of a cowboy.

In international diplomacy, behind every discussion point there has to be the unspoken second half of every sentence: "...or we will kick your ass."

It wasn't "cowboy diplomacy."

We were attacked on 9-11 assh%$#

That's not exactly what his campaign mentors said for 20 years.

“It’s conceivable that there are those in the Arab world who say to themselves, ‘This is a guy who spent some time in the Muslim world, has a middle name of Hussein and appears more worldly and has called for talks with people, and so he’s not going to be engaging in the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush,’” Obama said in an interview with The Atlantic.

Unfortunately, I don't think so. If it does, it's custom made:

While you may lobby that nothing's sweeter than an automated waffle maker, Chris Dimino just might counter that. This design guru has apparently concocted a retro inspired, and ever-so-slightly altered kitchen appliance that cooks waffle that are a bit wider and more familiar than usual. This piece of cookware sports an integrated stand for holding four jars of syrup, and the iron itself presses a nifty keyboard each and every time -- caps lock key and all. Of course, we don't expect retailers to start stocking these things anytime soon, but if you're serious about your words waffles-per-minute, we're sure Chris could make arrangements.

Ah, a nuanced response that only makes the statements made yesterday to Goldberg appear in the same light that Charles and others read them - that he's going to pursue policies antithetical to Israel's security (and which would necessarily be antithetical to US security interests in the region as it would cement yet another terrorist regime on Israel's borders (Hizbullahland being the first)).

Obama's positions on the ME are Carteresque warmed over pablum, which failed the first time around, and continue to fail. It's no surprise why they sound Carteresque - Carter's people are part and parcel of the campaign. But it gets much worse than that.

Meanwhile, Lowry notes that questioning Obama on all sorts of issues are off limits - by his own say-so.

There's also a pdf.

Israel: our strongest ally in the region and its only established democracy. That will always be my starting point. And when we see all of the growing threats in the region: from Iran to Iraq to the resurgence of al-Qaeda to the reinvigoration of Hamas and Hezbollah, that loyalty and that friendship will guide me as we begin to lay the stones that will build the road that takes us from the current instability to lasting peace and security.

Sounds OK to me.

I'm dubious, but more because I think Obambi seems to know little about anything, and of course because of his friggin' name, not to mention the leftoids and/or wackjobs he hangs around with, than for a *specific* reason.

And we know what Carter I says about Israel. It's not pretty.

"Open sore" is also the language chosen by the usual assortment of Israel haters, including Justin Raimodo of antiwar.com:

It is hardly in America's national interest to continue this state of affairs. We are up against a terrorist enemy that uses our unconditional support of Israel as one of its main recruiting devices – second only to the war in Iraq. America's Israeli-centric policy in the Middle East reinforces al-Qaeda's contention that the U.S. is out to destroy Islam, humiliate the Arab people, and impose what it calls "Crusader-Zionist" hegemony on the region. Our policy destabilizes the Arab governments in the region who are our allies, such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and the current government of Lebanon. It in no way serves our purposes to have this open sore continue to fester. And yet every attempt to heal this wound has been met with opposition from the powerful pro-Israel lobby in our midst, and the poisons issuing forth from this wound continue to infect the whole region, including Iraq.

Here's another quote to put the phrase "open sore" (or constant sore, your choice) into historical context:

The attitude of the other Arab states toward the Palestinian Arab refugees was, as noted, completely different. This attitude was succinctly described by Ralph Galloway, a former head of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), in Amman, capital of Jordan, in August 1958: quote:-

"The Arab states do not want to solve the refugee problem. They want to keep it as open sore, as an affront to the United Nations and as a weapon against Israel. Arab leaders don't give a damn whether the refugees live or die." Unquote...

I like I like.

Can someone plant a Chamberlain speech on Obama? Let him get caught red-handed? Insert the quotes into a speech - they would be indistinguishable from his own positions.

You know, if a genocidal terrorist group decided to come out and support me, I'd be the first to question what the heck they were supporting and do as much to distance myself as possible. I wouldn't be trying to understand and accept such support.

Yet, that's not what Obama has done. He's trying to weasel his way through a muddled response to suggest that he understands the terrorists' pain.

As for cowboy diplomacy, the actions by the Bush Administration over the past two years should remove that moniker for all intents and purposes. He's reinstilled the Baker plan, which is anything but cowboy diplomacy, but rather serves to gut his Bush doctrine that calls terrorists by their name. Legacy building has a way of doing that - and it undermines US national security in the process.

If John McCain chooses Mike Huckabee as his running mate, I'm going to have a very difficult decision to make. I will not vote for Mike Huckabee under any circumstances.

re: #131 Charles

If John McCain chooses Mike Huckabee as his running mate, I'm going to have a very decision to make. I will not vote for Mike Huckabee under any circumstances.

I was going to say he can't be that stupid, but then I remember this is the same guy who came up with the McCain- Feingold and Amnesty acts.

This is the same Hamas terror group that continues to hold Gilad Shalit for nearly two years. The same Hamas that is engaged in a rocket war with Israel and has no intention of peace with Israel - in a ceasefire or otherwise- as it is ideologically bound to Israel's destruction.

And despite that, the diplomatic talks continue.

re: #136 coquimbojoe

Ya know, I would feel very much the same for many of the same, and probably some very different reasons. A McCain/Huckabee ticket would be the proverbial 'ship of fools'.

In McCain's eyes that's good enough reason to pick Huckabee.

re: #130 lawhawk

You know, if a genocidal terrorist group decided to come out and support me, I'd be the first to question what the heck they were supporting and do as much to distance myself as possible.

He is courting the genocidal-terrorist-supporting vote in America. He cannot denounce Hamas.

No sarcasm tag at all.

re: #133 DistantThunder

Obama's way, way, way out of his league, and he knows it, he's making bush-league mistakes.

Best thing his campaign can do is not let him talk...

...at all.

But then, that makes it hard to campaign, right?

re: #124 brainwizard73

What a fu***** joke.

A day an a half ago, Obama bobos were slamming McCain for pointing out Hamas wants to get out the knee pads for Obama.

Now Obama himself says that Hamas's endorsement is a "perfectly legitimate perception".

Which is it? Obama might be bi-racial, but its clear he definitely has two sides of his mouth, too.

As much as we all like to hammer Johnnie Mac for some obvious reasons, he deserves support on this one. Maybe I'll even make a donation.

Let him eat his waffle.

"he’s not going to be engaging in the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush"

WTF is wrong with Cowboys? I grew up watching cowboy movies and the problem with GWB, is that he isn't the Cowboy we thought he was....

re: #92 MJ

Right.
"Open sore" is also the language of Nazism...that Jews are Bacteria which must be eradicated. It's the Jews as Vermin meme.

Point taken, but I don't think the analogy is apt. There was no Israel at the time of the Nazis.

The political language describing Israel as an "open sore" (occasionally voiced as "an open sore on the backside of Europe"), or more precisely irresolution of the Palestinian issue being the "open sore", was actually invented, and stated explicitly by the Arab league decades ago.

The ones who wanted (and still want) to destroy Israel invented that political terminology, and shocker. . .now we're hearing the same phrase coming directly from Obama's lips.

Think he discovered it for himself or he absorbed it from his gaggle of Israel-hating leftist advisors?

Either way, I think this is pretty strong evidence of where Obama stands politically wrt Israel.

re: #131 Charles

If John McCain chooses Mike Huckabee as his running mate, I'm going to have a very difficult decision to make. I will not vote for Mike Huckabee under any circumstances.

Our household is with you Charles, and we've had this discussion many, many times. Huckabee is a charlatan, and it is obvious to the average thinking person.

Unctuous: unctuous |%u02C8%u0259 ng (k) ch o%u014D%u0259s|
adjective
1 (of a person) excessively or ingratiatingly flattering; oily : he seemed anxious to please but not in an unctuous way.
2 (chiefly of minerals) having a greasy or soapy feel.

The more I listen to what Obama has to say, the more I am convinced he is an arrogant prick, and no one should question his ideas or motives, since Barack Obama is on the proper side of history, he believes. Hence the statement, "Can't I just eat my waffle?".
Typical egghead attitude, and if the right buttons are pushed I think we will see an Obama we haven't seen yet, with steam rising off his ears.
A glib reader of the teleprompter, but when speaking off the cuff he isn't so fast on his feet.
I still say he is a MSM creation, which fancies themselves the kingmaker of the USA.
G*d help this country, for I believe we are going down the drain of history.

re: #135 zombie

No, he's pretty much indicated that he will "take the high road" and leave it up to us independent activists to take Obama down.

Seriously, it's all up to us at this point. We have to physically push McCain across the finish line. And no one but us will do anything to stop Obama.

Are you ready?

A nightmare of biblical proportions.

I'd get down on my knees and pray for a Lieberman/Giuliani independent centrist ticket.

All you need to know about Obama vis a vis Islam is his commitment to disarm America, withdraw from the Middle East, and intent to beg Iran to be nicer to us. There is more than one way to espouse a commitment to Israel and to do the opposite. Condi Rice is doing a pretty good job right now of undermining Israel.

I know this might come as a suprise to a lot of lizards, but;

OLIVER STONE FILM MOCKS BUSH, WHITE HOUSE...

SHOCKER!

Charles, I feel the same way regarding his VP choice. But he's better than Condi.
One thing would make me support him unconditionally, however. If he were to announce that he wanted John Bolton for Sec State.

Charles, I am sure you have seen it, the rumor mill is now pushing the Condi angle.

I have been considering what the RNC might doing behind the scene, only because it is obvious, the party will need an heir apparent in some time to come.

For this reason, and the fact the RNC seems to want to push into more left leaning waters, I would hesitate to think they are really considering MH for the slot.

But, who the hell knows.

I know that Joe is right on board with protecting us from Islamofascism and any other kind of threats there may be, but I don't trust his economic instincts. Giuliani has shown that he can effectively run a large government in bring spending and taxes down....... But I like the idea.

So many people believe Abasshole when he says he wants peace with Israel, but then doesn't take the first step he agreed to, and that is to stop terrorism,
but they don't believe Hamas and Iran when they clearly say they want Israel wiped out, and act accordingly.

I feel your pain, and also have no regard for Huckabee.

But personally speaking, I'd still have no problem pulling the lever for McCain/Huckabee were it to come to that.

McCain/Huckabee would merely be disgusting. But Obama/whomever would be suicidal.

More to the point, though, I don't think McCain would pick Huckabee. McCain may be stubborn, and IMO he's not that bright either, but he's still a politician, and he'd have to know that Huckabee on his side would end up costing him votes, including possibly swing states. So despite the rumors, I just don't think its likely.

People appear to be writing about the McCain/Huckabee ticket a lot in the last day or two (Google News search results). My question is why? Did McCain or Huckabee say something recently about it or is it just an idea that got hot?

I would take Condi over Huckabee any day. But why should McCain take any of the high profilers? They all come with baggage. Better a good Governor. Wonder what Pataki is doing? I personally wish he would chose Rudy. Then I could vote for Rudy.

I can't believe McCain would be so deaf as to pick Huckabee as VP. The only chance McCain has is to grab the center and the unaffiliated. And Huckabee is anathema to both of them.

re: #101 DistantThunder

It's part of Obama's Messiah complex that he thinks mere mortals cannot succeed with genocidal monsters like the Iranian leaders, and Asad - but that HE, the great, clean uniter, can bring monsters and saints together over common goals.

Woah, way to answer my question before I asked it.

Huckabee's people think we deserve an obama presidency for our sins!

An element of the Christian community is not reconciled to McCain's candidacy but instead regards the prospective presidency of Barack Obama in the nature of a Biblical plague visited upon a sinful people.

*********

One experienced, credible activist in Christian politics who would not let his name be used told me Huckabee in personal conversation with him embraced the concept that an Obama presidency might be what the American people deserve. That fits what has largely been a fringe position among evangelicals that the pain of an Obama presidency is in keeping with the Bible's prophecy.

Racists won't vote for Obama, therefore people who won't vote Obama are racists.

For all the hope and excitement Obama's candidacy is generating, some of his field workers, phone-bank volunteers and campaign surrogates are encountering a raw racism and hostility that have gone largely unnoticed -- and unreported -- this election season. Doors have been slammed in their faces. They've been called racially derogatory names (including the white volunteers). And they've endured malicious rants and ugly stereotyping from people who can't fathom that the senator from Illinois could become the first African American president.

McCain's problem is that he's got to bolster his position with the GOP before he goes after the independents/moderates, while he's more than willing to take that bloc for granted. It could lead to a big mistake come November, given the antipathy and resentment among GOPers for him.

Putting Condi or Huckabee on the ticket would only exacerbate the problem further.

A flawed candidate indeed.

And Obama's problems are even worse. He's likely to lose the remaining string of primaries, but the media is busy anointing him. His foreign policy is Carteresque and amounts to "I'm not Bush". Meeting with terrorists isn't a problem for him (and hasn't been - ever - given his cozy ties to Ayers).

An awful candidate. Indeed.

Huckabee would have very little influence in a McCain White House. Condi would exert great influence...and dangerous influence.

Make that "Foreign policy".

re: #213 coquimbojoe

So do I, but really, Huckabee as Vice president?

Again, I just don't see him as McCain's choice.

Go back to election strategy 101.

Which swing state would Huckabee help McCain carry?

/I can't think of one either. . .

re: #208 Nevergiveup

But she is pregnant. Could be a problem.

She just gave birth to a son (with Down Syndrome)

re: #225 ploome hineni

I do not like Huckabee

/very strong nasty streak under shallow bonhomie

I sense that also. A bit of self-righteousness and Nanny State ism also.

re: #217 DistantThunder

Bob Barr looked like a fried tomato on TV yesterday - blistering red face. Derma-peel maybe?

Jim Beam?

re: #179 pat

I gave you a +1, for this part:

I personally wish he would chose Rudy. Then I could vote for Rudy.

...But I don't like Condi for VP at all.

re: #221 alegrias

Bob Barr. You've got to be kidding.
Hamas probably supports Bob Barr too.

Yeah really kidding, but if McCain picks the Huckster, I am going to have to really look around before I can pull the lever for MCCain Huck....

Steve Forbes for Vice President

Big Dweeb is ripping us off!

The media will really try to push that "only racists won't vote for Obama" meme hardcore until November. I'd vote for a black president any day; just not Obama.

re: #200 Peacekeeper

BHO's circular elocutions rank him ahead of JohnF****Kerry in flip flops per waffle

re: #212 jcm

He needs to season. And he needs to at least make a start on fixing some of Louisianna's perennial problems. Then we can see what he's made of, and if we should back him if he runs.

re: #195 coquimbojoe

Condi brings nothing to the McCain campaign. She doesn't shore up the conservative base for McCain. She has no constituency of voters. African Americans aren't going to vote for McCain instead of Obama just because of Condi. And most significantly, Condi is so closely identified with Bush and rightly or wrongly McCain needs to (respectfully) distance himself from Bush.

McCain will pick a governor or senator from a major must win state.

re: #236 brainwizard73

She is obviously being "punished" with a child. Thanks, Barack.

LOL

re: #203 soccer fan

I don't know about you guys but I am also getting tired of Israel, I have been an official registered lizard for a while now yet I still haven't received even one Zionist check yet... show me the money!

You get coupons to spend at the Zionist Mall.

re: #229 Honorary Yooper

If there are people out there thinking that- it's very un-Christian of them, in my opinion, to wish harm on their country.

re: #200 Peacekeeper

Obama campaign officials say such incidents are isolated, that the experience of most volunteers and staffers has been overwhelmingly positive.

This statement sort of contradicts the whole thing don't you think?
We are first led to believe it is widespread, then they say it is only isolated incidents. Do I smell a little manipulation of facts here?

re: #239 jorline

As a small business owner I want someone with Romney's business qualifications...not a life long seasoned politician.

Amen. How smart would it be to put a financial genius in charge of government spending?

re: #212 jcm

Interesting idea, would she campaign with a newborn?
Jindal would be a really good choice. I'm torn between letting him season as Gov. of LA, or putting him in the Veep slot because we need someone like him there.

I should hope they leave Jindal in Louisiana right now. The state is a mess, and needs repair first. If he can fix at least some of Louisiana's problems, and be properly seasoned as a governor, then he'd be a great candidate for president come 2016.

GMTA

why don;t you like Huckabee?

He combines the worst of both sides. Bombastic invasive moralism AND nanny-state paternalism and condescension.

I can't believe we're even talking about this bozo.

re: #241 MJ

Make that "Foreign policy".

Which, lately, has been the same as foregoing policy.

/really, I thought you meant it that way and I grok it

re: #228 redheadredstate

Re # 200

Speaking of racism, how about 90-95% of those African/Americans voting for Obamination simply because he's got the same skin color pigmentation? Never mind the issues and how he could ruin this country vote for him because he's the same race. Poor MLK is turning over in his grave. What about judging a man on the content of his character rather than the color of his skin? Racism, it's not just for white people anymore.

We need to get out the slogan:
Don't vote for a man because of the color of skin
Vote for the color of his ideas.
And Obama's ideas are Communist Red.

re: #250 Pyrocles

The media will really try to push that "only racists won't vote for Obama" meme hardcore until November. I'd vote for a black president any day; just not Obama.

I'm forming a search party now to go find J.C. Watts. He's missing, and some of us are worried.

She just gave birth to a son (with Down Syndrome)

My heart and best wishes got out to her and her family.
