Interesting Reaction

Carter with Hamas and Pelosi with Syria were the two who have acted on that premise of negociating with terrorists

Yet somehow Obama imagines it must be about him.

Of course, there are two ways to read that. Either he thinks it is about him because he really wants to negotiate with terrorists, or he thinks it is about him because he is so vain he thinks everything is about him.

I can't decide which is worse.

It was an immediate leap, though. Makes you wonder what he'd do as POTUS.

I am pretty sure what he would do.

Unfortunately I think it was after they got rid of their archives, but Best Of The Web did a great piece where they listed times Obama had said contradictory things about Israel, being strongly pro-Palestinian and then turning around and mouthing assurances to Israel boosters.

It seems fairly obvious he subscribes to the left's general agenda of favoring the Palestinians and radical regimes such as Iran, while disliking our allies, such as Israel, and Pakistan (which he said he would invade at one point).

I can't quite figure it out, it seems as if the agenda of the left is "if you like us, we hate you, and if you hate us, what can we do for you?" Were all Democrat's beaten up by school bullies for 12 years? They are so eager to appease absolutely anyone who dislikes them, it is repulsive.

I can't recall if you have posted before, so welcome to the blog. And, in either case, thanks for the post.

Funny, he may be so busy trying to remove any doubts about him that he actually creates even more. Could he have been trying to cover for Jimmah? (Never doubt a conniving politician.) No, I think he has fear of being connected with JC, which parallels rumors of convention jitters about Carter too. Maybe he'll have to send both Carter and Wright on a cruise. (but where....er maybe not) Could he fear that connection as much as, well, threats?

That would be interesting. It would mean the Carter endorsement is more of a liability than the Hammas endorsement.

Then again, I don't know. Democrats I know still don't seem to understand why people hate Carter so much. They have a strange blind spot about the man. I suppose Obama may be much more savvy than the run of the mill Democrats, but even the party leaders sometimes seem a bit slow in responding to media blunders by the man.

We shall see, I suppose.

That is what I'm wondering too. That would be funny because of that relativistic world the left swims in all the time. Thanks for the welcome. BO is proving more the posturing politico all the time. I was floored last week someone mentioned the Carter trip and then gave a blurb from somewhere that he denied the state department and others told him not to go. I haven't located it. But what made him think it was a great idea? Wasn't the standard that they needed an honest broker? I don't recall that in Carter. Anyway good food for thought -- most totally lost on MSM.

I think you hit on the biggest problem I have with Carter as well. He really needed the state department to tell him that giving legitimacy to Hamas by negotiating with them is a bad idea? It is sad we gave that man even one term as president.

I am glad I am young enough to have had no hand in that election.
