Barack Obama laid into John McCain on Friday for advancing a tough-guy foreign policy that he called “naive and irresponsible,” serving notice that he’s ready to launch a full-throttle challenge to the Republican presidential contender on international relations in the general election campaign.

Written by Asinus Asinum Fricat on May 16, 2008 – 5:21 pm -Senator Barack Obama hit back at President Bush today during a speech in Watertown, South Dakota for “dishonest and divisive” comments made by the president in Israel, which inferred that the presumed Democratic presidential nominee’s calls for talks with Iranian officials resembled appeasement with the enemy.
“The president did something that presidents don’t do,” Obama said, charging that Bush’s words targeted other Democrats, as well. “He said that we were appeasers no different than those that appeased Adolf Hitler.”
“That’s exactly the kind of appalling attack that’s divided our country and alienates us from the rest of the world,” Obama added, before taking aim at McCain also for also “embracing Bush’s comments.”
