As If to Prove My Point

Barack Obama had a chance today to make a substantive argument regarding Bush's comments about Iran, and he didn't if I can trust the reporting at breitbart.com.

Here is what he said according to breitbart.com:

Barack Obama rebuked Republican rival John McCain and President Bush for "dishonest, divisive" attacks in hinting that the Democratic presidential candidate would appease terrorists, staunchly defending his national security credentials for the general election campaign.

Obama responded Friday to Bush's speech Thursday to the Israeli Knesset. The president referred to the leader of Iran, who has called for the destruction of the U.S. ally, and then said some seem to believe that we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals—comments Obama and Democrats said were directed at them. McCain subsequently said Obama must explain why he wants to talk with rogue leaders.

"I'm a strong believer in civility and I'm a strong believer in a bipartisan foreign policy, but that cause is not served with dishonest, divisive attacks of the sort that we've seen out of George Bush and John McCain over the last couple days, " Obama told about 2,000 voters at a town hall-style meeting in a livestock barn.

Give me a break. So, to make a case against Obama's positions is being "divisive" and "uncivil." He is being a baby. If he has a real argument, he should make it, and quit whining about the tone and civility of Bush's comments. And McCain's question is perfectly reasonable. Maybe McCain is wrong. Maybe Bush is wrong. So make a case why they are wrong, and quiting acting so above it all. Good grief.
