Talking shit in Jerusalem.
In case you missed it, here's the salient moment from a speech our genius-in-chief gave to the Israeli Parliament yesterday.
Aside from the ignorance of equating negotiation with appeasement (a word I doubt W could define), what's really striking here is his abandoning of a long presidential tradition—that of avoiding partisan attacks when speaking anywhere overseas, much less in another country's legislative body. Doing so cheapens both this president (if such a thing is possible) and the presidency.
Fortunately, Barack Obama didn't waste any time in repudiating this attack. Let's hope he stays this effective as the campaign moves into the really ugly phase.
