This is awesome...

Bush sends thousands of troops to die in Iraq and the left wingers protest in the streets...

Obama wants to speak to school children and the right wingers protest in the streets...

You'd think most of those right wingers would still be looking for the WMD's that they promised us.

Actually, Cindy Sheehan is still protesting the same war in the same country but the political party that supported her before is in power now so they yanked her media funding.

She was protesting the Iraq war out at Martha's vinyard while the Obama's were on holliday but the media didn't cover that.

I guess the war is ok now?

Blaming Obama or the left for not getting out of Iraq instantly is like blaming Harper for the present economic crisis and not solving it instantly.

Its just not possible or logical. Doesn't mean we don't want them both over.

Lol. Good try but suddenly serious policy wasn't in the news before the election.
Your sadly busted on this one.

Say what you want but it’s not the left that created an unnecessary war and the huge financial meltdown.

It is conservative policy and idiocy that got us into both messes.

No matter what Obama does he can’t do worse and the irony is kooks like you and mm are up in arms over the leader of the free world addressing school children. When in fact, like I've said over 1000 times, there are still no WMD's in the desert my friend.

So you can play semantics all you want but the solid facts are that it was you’re Conservatives who were more than willing to follow GWB into Iraq. And now it’s the same ideology that supported that war - it's the same ideology that vehemently opposes their own elected president speaking with the children of the nation he represents.

Sort of makes me sick to my stomach.
“Mr. President, you may send our kids to war to die, but you may not speak to them on our schools”.

That is a sick world and rr, you are one of the ugliest, sickest people in that sick world.

I agree on point, but when the man himself feeds fuel to their fire...

Really, with all the attention given to him I guess I just expect him to be better than this. What he needs is someone on his staff to play Devil's Advocate when they proof read his speeches.

This may sound funny, but he should hire Karl Rove.

Well different strokes. I had my son listen to his school speech today. He's six and he listened to the whole thing.

Sort of like how Harper got us into the war in Afghansitan?
Yeah.. that is a bummer..

Well, as much as I love to heap abuse on Bush, I have to disagree on that one. The Democrats were almost as eager to go to war as the Republicans, as the vote in the Congress will attest.

The funny thing about all this bile and belligerence is that there isn't that much difference between the left and the right, in the US or in Canada. A lot of teh divisions are completely artiicial. That's why I'm so puzzled by the hate that the two sies have for each other. As far as actual policy differences go, it'sa like the difference between Coke and Pepsi.

Another thing I liked about Obama is that, unlike most Democrats, he actually did oppose the Iraq War.

[EdwardRI]

I'd probably be considered quite conservative by most of you, but I've been against the war from the start and looking at Obama's speech, I like the message. Do these things suddenly make me liberal? No. That's not what liberal or conservative mean.

Don't associate such things with political ideologies.
