Obama Alters Course

Submitted by Jack, Jul 27, 2007 20:11

For all of those that think it's wonderful of Obama to meet with enemy leaders---well how about a meeting with Bin Laden in the oval office? Or the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan? Or the leader of a group of suicide bombers? How about meeting with that person? When you open the door to dictators and despots then of course there will be those requesting a meeting with Bin Laden. Sure, we can talk things out over a cup of tea---right? Remember Neville Chamberlain's quaint visit to Hitler before Hitler started World War II? Nothing our enemies would like better than a naive president in the White House.
