WATERTOWN, S.D. (UPI) -- Democratic presidential contender Barack
Obama, campaigning in South Dakota, fired back at comments made by
U.S. President George Bush and Sen. John McCain.
Obama spoke of his "dust-up over foreign policy" with Bush and McCain,
the presumptive Republican nominee for president, before a crowd of
several hundred supporters in Watertown, S.D., The Washington Post
reported Friday.
"If George Bush and John McCain want to have a debate about protecting
America, that is a debate I will have any time, any place," he said.
"George Bush and John McCain have a lot to answer for."
"They're trying to scare you and trying to keep you from seeing the
truth," the Los Angeles Times quoted Obama as saying, "and the reason
is they can't win a foreign policy argument on the merits."
Obama also hit back against Bush for comments he made in front of the
Israeli Knesset that compared those who want to negotiate with
terrorists to Nazi appeasers. Some have taken the remarks as a swipe
at Obama, who denied having any intention of negotiating with radicals
and called the remarks "the kind of appalling attack that's divided
our country and that alienates us from the world," CNN reported.
