Seriously, readers, how much more evidence do you need? I don't even need to comment. Just read his remarks.
"Bush’s Remarks in Israel Rile Obama" by KATE PHILLIPS
Updated: The Obama campaign seized on a section of President Bush’s remarks to members of the Knesset in Israel this morning, interpreting the president’s choice of words as a slap at the Democratic candidate on foreign soil. Senator Barack Obama himself issued a statement, calling it “a false political attack” and an “extraordinary politicization of foreign policy.”
According to an advance text and now televised excerpts, Mr. Bush criticized — without mentioning anyone by name — suggestions for using diplomacy to deal with rogue nations. He specifically cited Iran:
"Some seem to believe we should negotiate with 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 only I could have talked to Hitler, all of 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.
Some people suggest that if the United States would just break ties with Israel, all our problems in the Middle East would go away. This is a tired argument that buys into the propaganda of our enemies, and America rejects it utterly. Israel’s population may be just over 7 million. But when you confront terror and evil, you are 307 million strong, because America stands with you.
Yeah, even if 9/11 was a CIA/Mossad INSIDE JOB with help from your neo-con cronies and you, liar!!!!!
America stands with you in breaking up terrorist networks and denying the extremists sanctuary. And America stands with you in firmly opposing Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions. Permitting the world’s leading sponsor of terror to possess the world’s deadliest weapon would be an unforgivable betrayal of future generations. For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon."
So, WHEN DOES THE BOMBING BEGIN, you MASS-MURDERING WAR CRIMINAL!!!!?????
The Obama campaign just released this statement from the senator himself:
"It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel’s independence to launch a false political attack. It is time to turn the page on eight years of policies that have strengthened Iran and failed to secure America or our ally Israel. Instead of tough talk and no action, we need to do what Kennedy, Nixon and Reagan did and use all elements of American power - including tough, principled, and direct diplomacy - to pressure countries like Iran and Syria. George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the President’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel."

It's why I'm voting for him.
He called them a "sore?"

In a telephone interview on CNN just a few minutes ago, Robert Gibbs, the communications director for Senator Barack Obama, called Mr. Bush’s remarks “astonishing” and an “unprecendented political attack on foreign soil.”
He called it “cowboy diplomacy.” Asked about criticisms, which began during early debates among Democrats when Mr. Obama said he would be willing to meet with leaders of Iran, Cuba and other nations without preconditions, Mr. Gibbs, said “let’s not confuse preconditions with preparation. Obviously these meetings would be full of preparation.”
Mr. Obama has been meeting with Jewish leaders across the country to try to persuade them that he is a stalwart ally of Israel. Our colleague, Larry Rohter, just chronicled Mr. Obama’s stepped up efforts in the last month.
On Wednesday, Mr. Obama’s Democratic rival, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, who had long criticized Mr. Obama for suggesting he would meet with leaders of rogue nations without preconditions, batted back assertions made by Senator John McCain that Mr. Obama was a friend of Hamas. In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer:
Mr. Blitzer: "Here is what McCain said about Barack Obama and I want to get your reaction. He said, “I think,” this is McCain, “I think it’s very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States. I think people should understand that I would be Hamas’ worst nightmare. If Senator Obama is favored by Hamas, I think people can make judgments accordingly.” McCain was referring to a statement by the North American spokesman for Hamas endorsing, in effect, Barack Obama. Is McCain right?"
Senator Clinton: "No, I think that that’s really an overstatement, an exaggeration of any kind of political meaning and I don’t think that anybody should take that seriously."
Mr. Blitzer: "Do you have confidence that Barack Obama as president would be a strong supporter of Israel?"
Senator Clinton: "Yes, I do, I believe that that would be the policy of the United States and it’s been our policy for 60 years."
Why is it, readers, that the FIRST QUALIFICATION for being the AMERICAN PRESIDENT in the Zionist-controlled AmeriKan media is how he would treat ISRAEL, readers?
Oh, I just answered my own question, didn't I?
