Bush’s not so veiled attack on Obama yesterday serves as good reminder of the divisive and heinous essence of his tenure. Obama has repeatedly said that he would negotiate with our enemies. He has not said he would appease terrorists. He has also said that he would go into Pakistan ("Pokistan") and get Bin Laden.

So after a disastrous foreign policy driven by ideology, incompetence, distortion, and secrecy, the great divider yesterday did what he does - distorted and attacked. As McCain tries to distances himself from Bush, keep in mind that:

Ronald Reagan traded arms for hostages with terrorists;

The blundering of the Iraq War is the biggest foreign policy disaster since Viet Nam. This statement doesn’t even need any backup; and

Bush’s corrosive foreign policy, which has shunned negotiation, international institutions (like the United Nations and the Geneva Convention) has done great damage to America’s credibility, influence and prestige in the world.
