Bush’s unwarranted attack yesterday was a great opportunity, and now Obama has taken it.
WATERTOWN, South Dakota (Reuters) – Democratic presidential front-runner Barack Obama said on Friday President George W. Bush’s “failed policies” had strengthened U.S. enemies like Iran and Hamas.
Responding to Bush’s comment on Thursday that those who want to talk to Iran were like Nazi appeasers before the Second World War, Obama accused Bush of “exactly the kind of appalling attack that’s divided the country and that alienates us from the world.”
Obama also challenged Bush and Republican presidential rival John McCain to a debate on foreign policy issues, a day after Bush caused outrage among Democrats with his remarks on appeasement before the Israeli parliament.
This is exactly the type of response that I like to see from a Presidential candidate.
