In a speech before the Knesset in Israel, President Bush criticized those who would employ a policy of appeasement in dealing with terrorists and radicals.  While he didn't mention Barack Obama's name, aides told the press that he was referring to Obama and former President Jimmy Carter and other Democrats.  Bush said, "Some seem to believe we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals."  He went on to say: "Call it what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."  Obama has said that he would meet with leaders in Iran and Carter has suggested meetings with Hamas.

The Obama campaign answered quickly.  The Democrat's communications manager Robert Gibbs called Bush's comments an "unprecedented political attack on foreign soil. " He said this kind of "cowboy diplomacy" over the last eight years has made the U.S. far less safe. Obama's rationale has been: How can you persuade Iran to drop its nuclear weapons program without discusssions?

John Edwards endorsed Barack Obama at a rally in Grand Rapids, Mich., after spending considerable time repeating his old stump speech and praising fellow candidate Hillary Clinton.  In the end, he said, it came down to who can turn two Americas into one.  He said the American people have made their choice and now he has also. 

Edwards recently voted in his home state primary in North Carolina, which Obama won. He  releases his 19 pledged delegates that he won before getting out of the nomination race  on Jan. 30; he won no states. Both Obama and Hillary Clinton had sought Edwards' endorsement.  Edwards said he talked to Clinton about health care and jobs. Her health care plan is closer to his own and his wife Elizabeth favors Clinton's plan.  While he said Cliton has "strength and tenacity" he selected Obama as the candidate who can tear down the walls and close the divide between the two Americas (the haves and have-nots).

What Edwards said was not as important as the timing of his endorsement, coming on the heels of Clinton's big win in West Virginia, where she showed Obama's vulnerability among white, rural, older and low-income voters.  Edwards might be able to provide Obama entree to working class voters who supported him.  His endorsement also suggests he thinks the she should get out of the race and the party should begin to unify.

Hillary Clinton won a 2-to-1 victory over Barack Obama in West Virginia Tuesday and used the victory to proclaim that she is the strongest candidate and will be the strongest president.  She said she is "more determined than ever to carry on this campaign until everyone has had their voices heard."  Clinton used her victory speech to remind voters (and super delegates) that she has won in the states that the Democratic party needs to win in November.  The White House, she said, is won in the swing states, and "I am winning in the swing states."

Clinton talked about being a fighter and said she would fight for good jobs, college affordability, and she would be the best candidate to deal with two wars, an economy in crisis and a country $9 trillion in debt.  She described herself as someone who "will never stop fighting" because "America is worth fighting for."  She further declared that the campaign has been good for the Democratic party and said she will work to make sure the country has a Democratic president.  But she cautioned again that Democrats need to "think hard" about how they will win in November.
