This criticism being leveled at presidential hopeful Barack Obama, because of his jab at another presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, calling her "Bush-Cheney Lite" is ridiculous and it's effrontery indicates the contempt mass discourse is held by pundits who seem not to have out grown their fresh-men hazing years.
Why shouldn't contenders duke it out? Where were these critics when George Bush and Co. felt it was fair game to attack a detractors wife, to out her is a profession which in some quarters practices unspeakable brutality on outed agents.
Barack Obama responded, not merely truthfully but practically and that's the operative here, that yes he would meet tyrants and despots out in the open as opposed to the cloak room secrecy of the business as usual nuance politics.
The naivete, Hillary Clinton accuses Barack Obama of not knowing the way of the world is ludicrous. Obama is black and regardless of what sort of black he is the historical condition of blackness has been marginalization and oppression, and that is, the circumstance of tyranny.
So what nature of despotism and dictatorship is Obama naive to? The shrill of Hillary Clinton that Obama's willingness to meet despots, will diminish the stature of the Presidency, now that is naivete. The stature of the U.S. is diminished and being mocked when the world sees how cheap explosive devices in Iraq thwart the strategy of "Shock and Awe".
