"I wonder why they immediately thought he was talking about Barack?"
Maybe because numerous Republican spokespeople said he was. Kind of hard to avoid the implication even without them confirming it though. Listen to what he said and you can see for yourself.
Used to be that our politicians kept domestic politics out of foreign speeches. Bush doesnt apparently know that. But Bush is increasingly irrelevant and increasingly unpopular (hard though that may be to imagine), setting new records for unpopularity all the time.
And appeasement isnt talking to our enemies (or Ronald Reagan would be the king of appeasers since he talked to the boss of the USSR lots of times). Appeasement is giving them something for nothing in hopes that it will make them happy.
As for Barack being liberal, absolutely he is. The country seems to be well and truly sick of how the conservatives have done running the country. Why would anyone want to emulate THAT?
