This reaction from Obama is noteworthy to me because he may finally be learning that playing nice with Republicans gets you nowhere:

Rudy Giuliani today has taken the politics of fear to a new low and I believe Americans are ready to reject those kind of politics. America’s mayor should know that when it comes to 9/11 and fighting terrorists, America is united. We know we can win this war based on shared purpose, not the same divisive politics that question your patriotism if you dare to question failed policies that have made us less secure. . . .

I liked the sarcastic "America's Mayor" crack. Good job by Obama. Hillary, who already knows that playing nice with Republicans is a waste, ripped the GOP and Bush. Edwards also danced on Rudy's head, but he gave up the Johnny Sunshine schtick long ago and has been knocking heads for a while. Obama was the one needing a lesson. Maybe he got one.

    Wonderful, Obama doesn't have a clue.  After 6 years of I'd like to have a beer with Bush, this sure shores up my confidence in both Obama and the electorate.

    One of them is how mean Republicans are.  There isn't anything you can smoke that'll fix that but if it's really good smoke I bet you could hang in the same room with them for a little while.

    Well, you could. (none / 0) (#4)

    But, is there anything left to learn from hanging with them that you don't already know?

    America's mayor should know that when it comes to 9/11 and fighting terrorists, America is united.

    Zat so?  A big chunk of the Dems in congress is demanding that we abandon the fight against terrorists in Iraq.  Thats hardly united.
