I'm tired of people saying his quotes are taken out of context. The video shows what he said... it's not out of context. Out of context would be quoting a piece of a statement. The video plainly shows what he thinks about Iran... then he changes his statement later when he is talking to a different group. Get off the CONTEXT already. He said it because he believes it!

Bush has **** Cheney also. In that aspect they are equal, but the Dems still slam him for the decisions made.

I don't see why you use Bush as an example of what an inexperienced person can do, but you all spent the last 4 years knocking him.

What I am saying is Bush didn't have the foreign policy experience when he came into office. I think some of his decisions were wrong. Other people think his decisions are right. So if Bush with no foreign policy experience can make the right decisions according to many on here. Whats to say Obama who lacks the foreign policy experience will not make the right decisions, when what he is advocating is the same that past Presidents even Republicans have done.

My personal opinion of Bush and his handling of the events after 9/11 aside...

His approval rating is low, your argument that its ok because Bush was inexperienced doesn't make sense to me.

All I hear is "We don't want another 4 years of Bush", now it's ok for Obama to do it because Bush did. Choose a side

Lol, according to the left, Bush is one of the dumbest presidents in history, but he was smart enough to trick all of the Democrats into voting for the Iraq war.

Both had no foreign policy experience. We are in agreement on that.
Bush is on the right of issues. Obama is on the left of issues. Bush made decisions toward the right with no experience, his approval rating is low. If Obama makes decisions almost opposite of Bush toward the left, wouldn't most people think he was right.

I'm sorry, while I believe D Vs. R will lead the country in different directions I do not believe that the partys would have taken opposite directions concerning the events of the last 4 years. The Democrats were behind many of the decisions that Bush made. Lets not forget Bush has a better approval rating than the Democratic lead Congress.

What's good for the goose isn't good for the gander?

Pot calling the kettle (dare I say) black?

Can dish it out but can't take it?

Like s2krn said, give me a break about context! We can look at eight years of George Bush, John McCain and the republicans being taken out of context. The sum of Obamas comments brings context.

It is not fair to ask him questions that are above his pay grade
