Barack Obama, in a silly attempt to retaliate against Hillary Clinton and gain a few brownie points with the hard-left progressive/liberal Moonbats, used Hillary's own words. From BreitBart:

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to turn rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's words back on her Wednesday, saying her vote to authorize the Iraq war was "irresponsible and naive."

Clinton had used the same language a day earlier to criticize Obama for saying he would be willing to meet with leaders of nations such as Cuba, North Korea and Iran without conditions within the first year of his presidency. Clinton said renegade leaders could use such a meeting for propaganda and that envoys below the presidential level should begin diplomatic work.

Actually, this is one of the few times where Hillary is right, and I hate to admit agreeing with her. When Obama came out publicly saying that he would meet with the murdering thugs running Cuba, North Korea and Iran, he was showing a serious lack of what is at stake and what kind of people they are.

For years the U.S. and Europe has attempted (and Europe is still attempting) to negotiate with Iran over concerns that Iran's nuclear program will soon make weapons material available to terrorist groups, including Hezbollah (an Iranian puppet) and al-Qaeda. Obama, by saying he is willing to talk with the ayatollahs and the dictator of Iran does not understand what is at stake here.

As for North Korea, the Clintons (with the aid of former president Jimmy Carter) cut a deal with the murdering thug there to provide them with nuclear technology on the condition it is not used to develop weapons. We all know how well that particular ruthless thug keeps his word.

Then there is the mass-murderer of Cuba, Fidel Castro. Ever stop to wonder why thousands of people flee that country every year? There isn't a mad rush to move there, either. We don't know how many people have died at the hands of Castro, nor how many political dissidents have been incarcerated.

Yet Obama wishes to meet with them without conditions.

Hillary at least initially got the war in Iraq right, even though now she has taken an pro-terrorist stand by calling for our withdrawal from Iraq. This is all politics to her, and has nothing to do with what is best (or right) for the U.S.; it's about her gaining and holding as much power as possible.

Obama would have done better if he had said that it is naïve for Americans to believe that either one of them understands the true responsibility involved with the office they currently have the privilege of serving in, let alone the greater responsibility carried by our Commander in Chief.
