US elections: Barack Obama accuses President George W Bush over Israel speech

US elections: Barack Obama accuses President George W Bush over Israel speech


Mr Obama has previously argued for unconditional talks between America and Iran. While Mr Bush did not mention the Democratic presidential candidate, the Obama campaign interpreted his remarks as an attack and responded immediately.

"George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the president's extraordinary politicisation of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally, Israel."

But the White House denied that Mr Bush had been making an oblique reference to Mr Obama. Dana Perino, the president's press secretary, said that Mr Bush had merely been arguing that talking to terrorists was futile.

Referring to Mr Obama, she said: "I understand when you're running for office you sometimes think the world revolves around you. That is not always true. And it is not true in this case."



I agree with barack all the way. i also think that it is very imature for the white house to deny that bush did not mean anything like that. if you going to talk about someone or something dont be a coward and deny it. Also for whoever said that comment back to obama has no idea what she is saying. They think that obama is slow but guess what he aint.
