Israel: Beware of Obama
First he comes for the banks and health care, uses the IRS to go after critics, politicizes the Justice Department, spies on journalists, tries to curb religious freedom, slashes the military, throws open the borders, doubles the debt and nationalizes the Internet.
He lies to the public, ignores the Constitution, inflames race relations and urges Latinos to punish Republican “enemies.” He abandons our allies, appeases tyrants, coddles adversaries and uses the Crusades as an excuse for inaction as Islamist terrorists slaughter their way across the Mideast.
Now he’s coming for Israel.
Netanyahu pollster: Obama role in election larger than reported
President Obama's role during the Israeli elections was larger than reported, according to a pollster for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party.
"What was not well reported in the American media is that President Obama and his allies were playing in the election to defeat Prime Minister Netanyahu," John McLaughlin, a Republican strategist, said in an interview on John Catsimatidis's "The Cats Roundtable" radio show broadcast Sunday on AM 970 in New York.
"There was money moving that included taxpayer U.S. dollars, through non-profit organizations. And there were various liberal groups in the United States that were raising millions to fund a campaign called V15 against Prime Minister Netanyahu," McLaughlin said.
During his reelection campaign, the prime minister said he would never agree to a Palestinian state. But once the election was over, he said he merely meant it was unsafe for Israel to agree to a state as long as Islamist terrorists are roaming the Arab world, Iran is funding extremists and the Palestinians tolerate the presence of Hamas. He sounded like the classic New Yorker cartoon about a lunch date: “How about never — is never good for you?”
“If Netanyahu acts in those positive ways, then Obama should … let Secretary of State Kerry try to relaunch negotiations,” Indyk said. If not, “then Obama will have no choice but to act to preserve the two-state solution through a U.N. Security Council resolution that lays out the principles of an agreement.”

Well Obama doesn't really do well with any sort of opposition about much of anything. Having to work around Israle while attempting an historic nuke deal with Iran is more than he can stand. And to have a foreign leader and not just any leader come over here an fire up its support base and address the peoples house during this "historic" negotiations must be galling beyond comprehension.

Maybe it's because Benny has acted like a total asshat towards him ever since he was first elected. Or maybe it's because Benny has done nothing but constantly break his word with the Obama administration. I forgot Benny can do no wrong.

Other than the language they speak, a vast majority of Israelis cannot be considered Semitic in the slightest.
Pull the other one.

Benny? Are you usually this disrespectful or too lazy to type Netanyahu?
Dems drop language on Jerusalem from platform
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats have dropped from their platform recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, a move that has opened President Barack Obama to criticism from Republican rival Mitt Romney.
Four years ago Democrats stated unequivocally that "Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel."
