Now Obama is going to learn that when it comes to extremist Islamists talk accomplishes nothing. I wonder how long it will take for him to figure this out?

LMAO..this is the radical leftist I knew would come out day 1. Bob Beckel and all of these TV Democrats have all been saying he will have to govern from the center like everyone else.

Seriously...this is all too real and we are not even done with the first 100 hours.

"...were welcomed by hundreds of enthusiastic US diplomats at the State Department..."

The same nest of vipers who implemented Bush's foreign policy so well. I'm sure they can't wait to begin the all-out dismantling of all that he accomplished.

This guy is stark raving insane...or, more likely, IMHO, an abject enemy of Israel and ally of Hamas.

That's right, open your borders to people who have sworn to exterminate you and who have been firing rockets at you by the hundreds for the last many months and more.
