Barak Obama seems to have given George W. Bush a bit of a push.

Number One: Pres. Bush's State Department is now engaging in negotiations with Iran over nuclear energy development.

Number Two: Pres. Bush is talking with Iraqi President al-Maliki about "time horizons" for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq.

Both of these foreign policy moves had been hysterically scoffed at by rightwing conservative Republicans, including columnists Bill O'Reilly and Cal Thomas, as "surrendering to the enemy" when proposed by Sen. Obama.

You never know what's next!
