And Democrats are outraged!
You can usually tell when President Bush hits the bullseye of truth. Democrats erupt into childish fits. They don't like it when the President points out how little they have learned from the lessons of history and how dangerously misguided liberal policies are.
When President Bush told the Israeli Knesset "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," Obama and friends went into attack mode.

4) it appeals to white people without particular political or ideological compasses to rally behind the unfairly-smeared victim, the implication being that if you are against Obama, you're racist, but you can absolve yourself by supporting Obama.
We keep hearing that Obama has problems with white voters. Well, yeah. But he also has problems with Asians and Hispanics/Latinos. And all sorts of other demographics. His problems are masked by getting 90+% of the total black vote and 97% of the black male vote in places like North Carolina.

The Minuteman gets results! OK, really the Rightosphere, but let me savor the moment. We have had some fun mocking Obama's ahistorical notion, offered as justification for his willingness to talk with Iran, that Roosevelt and Truman negotiated with our enemies (Stalin was still our ally against Germany at the time of Tehran and Yalta).
But in a statement reported today , Obama seems to have cracked open the old history books: 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.

Now, as it turns out, Sen. Borah was the subject of my undergraduate thesis and features prominently in my dissertation . So, notwithstanding the self-serving idiocy and sad invoking of Godwin's Law in Dubya's words, I do want to take a moment to defend Sen. Borah, before -- just as Philip Roth Cheneyed up Burton Wheeler -- he disappears down the memory hole and is reinvented as simply a kneejerk reactionary. (I know Dubya brought him up to bash as a weak-kneed surrender-monkey, but I've also read several left-leaning comments out and about today that make note that Borah was a Republican, and thus belongs in Dubya's camp.

As each day goes by we learn more and more about what ideology lies under the surface of Barack Obama's vacuous pabulum of "hope" and "change" and other empty slogans that are full of sound and fury, yet signify nothing. First it was how the "bitter" people "cling" to their religion and their guns.
Now, at a rally in Oregon he let the mask slip further still. In discussing his environmental policy Obama called on Americans to "lead by example" and said :
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.
