Obama Drops Key Clause in Jerusalem Embassy Memo
The Washington Times ^ | June 5, 2009 | Watercooler Blog

Posted on 06/05/2009 8:00:31 PM PDT by Abakumov

Late on Friday The Washington Times' Christian Bourge obtained a copy of Presidential Determination 2009-19, latest in a series of pro forma memos to the Secretary of State entitled "Suspension of Limitations Under the Jerusalem Embassy Act."

Quix, the comments emanating from the Long Beach event, is something that doesn’t provide enough info for me to realistically ponder. As for Reagan and the U.S.S.R., I’m not quite sure why you believe that to only be a dance.

Nations today that were part of the U.S.S.R. do have autonomy. They are determining their own affairs.

I don’t agree with Putin quite often. Still, I believe Russia is better off today than it was. Is it still a problem state, yes I believe it to be. And it remains to be seen, what type of trouble it will render in the future.

My main concern with Russia, is that our presidents seem to ignore it. For heaven’s sake, we should have pulled it in closer. We should have fostered as tight a friendship as we could have.

I don’t mean to the point of blindly handing them the keys to hurt us, but we could have been a lot more cordial.

When that school was attacked by terrorists and all the children were killed, our leadership really screwed up by not unifying with Russia to mourn. If I had been president, I would have gone there to show our unified sorrow with the Russian people.

I’m going to read your post a lot closer in later today. I’ll have some comments to make.

LOL.

Actually, the piles & sacks of horse sh__

and the piles & sacks of cow sh__ declined to be included in the hate crimes legislation . . . knowing they were above such trashy concepts.

However, the donkey sh__ went along with it in typical arse fashion . . . no doubt due to the heavy DIMRAT leadership’s influence.

I’m going to have to plead some ignorance on Moynahan. It had been my take that he was just another lefty. Those comments do sound as if he was honest in his views, even if some of them were ones I couldn’t sign on to. (These not being examples of that...)

Given the comments of various defectors . . . and the oligarchy’s reach, nature, methods etc.

I’ve long been more than a little suspicious of the “collapse” of the Soviet Union.

The oligarchy has long been working on melding Soviet Communism and tyrannical capitalism.

I think Reagan played the part well that he was given by the oligarchy and was as patriotic as he could get away with.

From this perspective . . . in time . . . There’s simply absolutely no way, imho, anyone could occupy the White House, at least the last 100 years or so, without being chosen by the oligarchy and given their marching orders by the oligarchy . . . whether in broad strokes or day by day.

Have you read the quotes in my ref’d tagline post?

Like OBama’s grandmother was a “typical white person,” Barack is a “typical Arab Muslim,” replete with an inherited hatred of Jews and Israel.

No translation needed: Obama is a Muslim operative, just as I said years ago, and he’s out to destroy Israel. Every single action of his indictaes the same.

Oh, but he LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING during the campaign because lying in Islam is a religious duty among the Infidel.

Unfortunately, Liberals think “taqiyya” is a Mexican liquor.

Yes, Russia is better off.

Christianity has had a resurgence.

Personally, I think God used the oligarchy’s schemes against them in terms of Christianity.

I think they minimize it’s impact to some degree.

It’s a complex world with lots of mirrors and altered states and realities.

It may well be, for example, that there was enough complicity in terms of Reagan’s at least Admin in Calif in whatever skulduggery was going on in Long Beach for the oligarchy to absolutely insist that he run for President . . . with them insuring he’d win . . . to facilitate the Soviet Union ‘breakup’ . . . something a liberal President could not have gotten away with doing . . . like Nixon was chosen to open up China.

God only knows all the details of such things.

imho, of course.

bottom line says:

Well in the Bush years the memo contained the sentence,

“My Administration remains committed to beginning the process of moving our embassy to Jerusalem.”

The Obama team has edited that passage out.

Well it was my observation and understanding that Moynihan had decreasing clout in the ‘Rat Party mainly because of his right of center views, not to mention a solid moral compass. He was a close friend of William F. Buckley.

Moynihan was what I would have termed a ‘Scoop Jackson Democrat’, socially somewhat liberal, but conservative on national defense and foreign policy.

What people don’t remember is that there used to be many Democratic Senators and Congressmen that were every bit as solid on national security and moral issues as any devout Reaganite, few people know that Hubert Humphrey (just to name one) was a strong supporter of 2nd Amendment rights, he was member of the NRA and was a defender of RKBA.

Unfortunately, those type of Democrats are virtually nowhere to be found in this new age of 0bamunist perfidy.

Thanks for the mention. I do agree with your premise, that the Democrat party has melted down to something without any redeeming values. John Kennedy would be repulsed by the Democrat party of today.

He would indeed, I daresay that JFK would have joined Ronald Reagan in stating something similar to “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me.”

Hope your weekend is good FRiend.

So when did islam ever qualify as a true religion? It’s a politic of terror and “religion” is just the way to control their masses. They are a death cult, genocidal maniacs. If that is religion, they practice ot fervently.

First of all, Bush had no more right to dictate OR demand territorial concessions from Israel any more than Clinton OR Obama. Israel should not give up even one inch of land for any reason whatsoever, let alone for a “promise” from dedicated, lying murderers that is nothing more than a whisper in the wind.
Israel needs to purge its left, ban Peace Now, and deport illegal arabs from whatever land they have routinely stolen. Over 80% of the so-called palestinians are from other Arab countries that entered Israel illegally by the tens of thousands to occupy land that rightfully belongs to Israel.
Damn Hillary. Damn her lecherous, criminal husband. And damn Obama for the lying muslim faker he is.

Ditto. Ditto. and Ditto.

Not that it matters at least Klinton recognized Hamas as a terrorist organization whereas Bozo thinks it’s the United Way of Palestine.

Bush was a bonehead, too, in regards to Israel and the Pally psychopaths. I’ve said that may times before. Dubya was the first sitting President to call for an “end to Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.”

Of course, his State Department had the same mindset as the present one.

Weezie Rice sang the same refrain that Bozo has been singing: comparing American Blacks in the 1800’s to the Palestinians of the 21th Century. It’s like comparing Jean Valjean to Charlie Manson.

Good post devolve. Sadly, he is so transparent that his followers look right through without seeing his corruption.
