Chamberlain vs. Obama

Chamberlain negotiated with Hitler in good faith, which was not reciprocated. But Chamberlain wasn't a complete fool, as he wisely simultaniously built up the RAF, just in case. "Appeasement brought the British government crucial time in which to rearm, and in particular allowed the RAF to drastically increase the number of fighter aircraft it could muster for the Battle of Britain during the summer of 1940."

Contrast that with Obama, who, as do most Democrats, is gutting America's military.

While Chamberlain tried to make the best of an awful situation, Obama invariably seems to make bad situations even worse. I.e., comparing Obama with Chamberlain is grossly unfair to Chamberlain.

Otherwise, I think A.Z.Hertz make some good points.
