M$M buzzing about Bush, Ahmadinejad at UN. Reminds me of Carter's advice
to the Bush administration when he appeared on Larry King Live last week.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0609/13/lkl.01.html

CARTER: Well, one of the worst things that any human being can do, any government can do is to address one of the most serious problems in the world in a person's human life and say this is my position. If you don't agree with me completely, I'm going to go in a closet and pout. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to consider your concerns. And I'm not going to have any communication with you directly.

And that's what we're doing now in North Korea. And that's what we're doing with the government of Syria. That's what we're doing with the government of Iran. That's what we're doing with the government of the Palestinians. We're saying, you don't agree with us; therefore, we're not going to have any direct talks with you or keep direct communications with you.

4. Remember the platform he ran on?
"as a Uniter"

What a load of BS. I hope the majority of Americans are smart enough to vote the Republican party out.

2. That's the way he's been treating the Dem's for the last 5 years.
It's all got to be his way and if you don't like it then you're an American hating, terrorist coddling traitor.
