did he respond because of the criticism? would he have said anything without it?

his remarks

[jdonn]

His reaction to this is the most overreported story of the last week.

Btw since when do you read so much msnbc?

[luke warm]

that's where my browser goes when i log out of hotmail ... is it not a more important story than his swatting of a fly?

[cherdanno]

Well, the story is another reminder for how glad we can be that McCain is not president.

[luke warm]

true... mccain probably would have said something sooner - God forbid that should have happened

[Lobowolf]

"I need you to let this guy off with a warning."

"A WARNING?! What kind of warning?"

"A stern warning."

I think you can come up with a slightly higher standard.

[luke warm]

is that a yes or a no?

[jdonn]

I believe it's specifically an "anyone who cares whether it's a yes or a no is an idiot."

[TimG]

The timing of the rhetoric makes no difference to me.

maybe you're right, although there are a lot of people writing and talking about it - of course they could just ask you if they should do so rather than risk having you think of them as idiots

Lol, did you actually follow the discussion? McCain wanted Obama to say s.th. completely different than what Obama said today.

[matmat]

who cares. can we nuke them?

[Aberlour10]

The timinig is not so important, but the content. He cares not to give the iranian opposition unintentionally smthg like a verbal "Kiss of Death".

I don't recall saying that anyone who writes or talks about Obama's response to Iran is an idiot, please show me where I said that? Then please show me any other person who asked whether Obama's response to Iran or his response to the fly is a more important issue. If you do I will reitterate that he or she is an idiot, which is what I actually said.

Now I know why you almost always try to direct the conversation to your points and the questions you are asking, because if you try to respond to other peoples' points or questions you have difficulty following.

[helene_t]

Agree with Tim. Almost agree with Josh, but I think the fly swat was more over-reported,

pay attention josh... when i say a lot of people are writing and talking about "it" i'm referring specifically to your post - people are writing and talking about whether or not obama (blessed be his name) should have spoken earlier on the issue.. you said (i think, i'm having difficulty following) that anyone who cares about that is an idiot... a lot of people do care, but maybe they're all idiots.. as for the fly thingy, i simply asked whether or not that story was more important.. anybody who thinks it is is an idiot (no offense)

You are indeed having difficulty following, because I did not say that. I'm not going to keep going back and quoting so either go back and reread carefully what was said and who is being called an idiot, or else continue to be confused, perhaps without even realizing it.

Hello? I thought I heard someone call my name.

Have the Republican party and its leadership ever been less in touch or less relevant?
