Kerry defends Obama, Says Bush owes Americans an apology
for using a speech to Israelis to make political attacks.

Kerry called into MSNBC and tore into Bush for his failures while defending Obama.

When the transcript is available it should be a good reference for all of us to defend Obama the smart way.

2. Yeah.
Like the stolen election of 2000, the Patriot Act, support of torture, letting bin Laden and most of the Taliban get away, destroying our foreign policy . . . shall I go on? :banghead:

5. Yes, Kerry was absolutely great. He went full bore at Bush for Obama.
Kerry has been an excellent spokesman for Obama, I must say.

Thank you for smacking down the moron, Sen Kerry!

9. It's too late for apologies from Bush. He needs to pay for his crimes. Only the rest
of his life spent in jail will do.

10. Bushes should have been jailed by the end of 94, but instead, were protected by Clintons in the 90s
Protecting the secrecy and privilege of the Bushes throughout the 90s led to Bush2, 9-11, and this Iraq war.

7. Kerry isn't going to let Obama get swiftboated...
Kerry can attack back as hard as he wants without any backlash-- much of the media still feels bad for fucking him over in 04. Plus, at this point it's just like shooting dead fish in a barrel with a bazooka from point blank range and nuclear tipped ammo with laser guided accuracy... Yeah.. it's that easy.

8. I want Bush
to tell everyone in the country how terrible of a President he thinks Obama will make and how great John McCain is. This is the best endorsement he can get.

War Criminals against Obama. They can even have their own 527.

11. Please post when
you find a transcript, or even better video. Busy now, no time to check myself (what then, you may ask, am I doing here :-)? just taking a tiny break).

19. obama showed just how inexperienced he is with foreign relations
and how this will be an issue if he is the nominee. Kerry, I have to laugh at because all this fire he is spouting now, just where the hell was it in 04?

"Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along."( the entire body of the Knesset all stood and cheered his comments) ....Well, if I understand correctly there are many that want to negotiate with terrorists.There is a proper way to begin any talks with heads of states.

The statement is true, but for obama and kerry to get all bothered by it, shows how the right will use this inexperience in november, IF obama is the nominee......

21. Kerry had it - most of the Dems wouldn't back him up - they were too scared of opposing Bush
and the best known Dems were SIDING WITH BUSH in 2003-4 - especially Bill Clinton throughout his summer2004 book tour where he defended Bush repeatedly on his Iraq war strategies at the very time Kerry was criticizing Bush.

I have to laugh at anyone who thinks Clinton defending Bush throughout the summer of 2004 on his Iraq and terrorism decisions was a good thing for the Dem party.

22. WOOHOOO....thanks Mass
You might want to give it its own thread, so it gets heard more widely. THIS is how all Dems need to defend our nominee and each other. And you should say so...heh.
