Earlier this week, President Bush said that Senator Barack Obama would "appease" with terrorists. That is, negotiate with sponsors of terrorists and if that is what an American president should do. Obama has said it's wrong and he wouldn't do so, but McCain and Bush think otherwise.
This is what McCain said about Obama in a rally in Kentucky, siding with the President:
“Senator Obama would meet unconditionally with some of the world’s worst dictators and state sponsors of terrorists. I would not add to the prestige of those who support violent extremists or seek to destroy our allies...it is reckless … it is reckless to suggest unconditional meetings will advance our interest".
Obama answered back saying Bush and McCain were "fear-mongering" and that he would never have meetings with terrorists or terrible leaders. However President Bush said later:
“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the 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.â€
Now that McCain and the President seem to be on the same page on some things, will this help McCain in that he has some extra artillery against Obama...or will it help Obama with McCain siding with an unpopular President? We'll see what happens from here.

Talking with terrorists like Jimmy “Cotta” did is unacceptable. Bush is 100% right on this issue and Obama knows it. The funny thing is Bush never brought up Obama at all in his speech. Obama is too defensive over it because he knows he is wrong.
Each and every day, Obama’s inexperience in regards to National Security shows, and it will cost him this fall.

Hell, his company was the ONLY business charged with ‘trading with the enemy’ during WW2.
Obama has NEVER said anything about ‘unconditional’ talks with anyone.
Grow up and read the truth.
