Would someone please kiss Barack's boo boo?

The whining is getting on my nerves. 

For the record.  Here's what the President said:

"Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is –- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."

Barack Obama, obviously assuming that everything spoken must be about him:

"After almost eight years, I did not think I could be surprised by almost anything George Bush says," Obama told a crowd at a campaign event in Watertown, South Dakota, Friday, "He accused me and other Democrats of wanting to negotiate with terrorists and said we were appeasers no different than people who appeased the Nazis before World War II."

Did the President say that?  No.  But Obama, obviously recognizing himself in the statement, threw a hissy fit (along with various other Democrats).  Apparently Obama is trying to distance himself from...himself:

Obama said President Bush and John McCain have a lot to answer for.  So do you, Senator.  Unfortunately anytime someone asks you a question you don't like you grab your blankee and cry NO FAIR. 

Obama has thrown down the gauntlet:

In a press conference following his town hall meeting in South Dakota, Obama continued on the offensive, insisting there is "no separation" between Bush and McCain and repeating the challenge that he would meet McCain "anywhere, anytime" for a debate on foreign policy.

How about meeting at the flagpole after school?  I'm sure McCain is shaking in his boots.

Speaking of John McCain:

“It was remarkable to see Barack Obama’s hysterical diatribe in response to a speech in which his name wasn’t even mentioned,” said McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds...

Hope, change, and hysteria we can believe in.
