TweetThe man who won’t talk to Hamas but will talk to Iran, invokes Kennedy, Roosevelt and Truman as justification for him wanting to talk to Iran to convince them not to hate us or attempt to destroy Israel.
The other side can label and name-call all they want, but I trust the American people to recognize that it is not surrender to end the war in Iraq so that we can rebuild our military and go after Al Qaida’s leaders.
I trust the American people to understand that it is not weakness, but wisdom to talk not just to our friends, but to our enemies, like Roosevelt did, and Kennedy did, and Truman did.
Um I don’t recall Truman picking up the phone and calling the Emperor of Japan before he dropped Nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki…I don’t recall Kennedy phoning the VietCong before he invaded Vietnam…I don’t recall Roosevelt phoning Hitler just before we invaded Normandy…
What does he think he’s going to accomplish by “talking” to someone who has a religious hatred and contempt for everything the US stands for?

Rob from SayAnything points out:
On a related note, it’s ironic to see Obama invoke Truman’s name here even as the media harps on Bush for having the lowest approval ratings for a President of all-time. You know who Bush beat out for those ratings?
