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."

I may be in a distinct minority here, but I agree with you 100%.

The U.S. has long had a policy of keeping its embassies out of areas whose jurisdiction was under dispute . . . which was why it was located in Tel Aviv in the first place.

This man is going to get himself into hot water if he continues in this direction. There are many people in this country who won’t tolerate a muslim president.

Sadly, as We remember the 65th Anniversary of D-Day, its seems to be showing how a Culture wont stand up for their own interest as the atrocities of the past are still fresh in Our Memories!

My interpretation is that the 1995 act of Congress has no standing as law because it was never signed by the president. Nor was it vetoed by the president and overriden by Congress.

Basically, this has been a silly game that our government has been playing for the last 14 years.

I can see that interpretation. Prior presidents shouldn't have let this drag out this long -- one way or the other.

But the timing of this, just following the "Great Obama Islamic Suck-up Tour of 2009", is not good.

I would think that it might signal to Israel that they have IN DEED lost the US as an allie, goading them to make important strategic decisions in the region without the involvement and/or consultation of the US...

Secure Arkansas organized a rally in rememberance of the first terrorist attack since 9/11. Pvt. William Long was killed and Pvt. Quinton I. Ezeagwula was wounded by Carlos Leon (aka Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad). Channel 11 was the only TV crew out there with a camera, and the AR Dem Gazette sent a reporter and a photographer. The event had several speakers who did a wonderful job. Video footage of them will be uploaded soon. However, the most shocking part of the event was when a muslim fanatic crashed the event. The fanatic drove by and yelled at us, then parked in the parking lot and stood out with a homemade sign yelling anti-American and later anti-Semetic comments. Had this been a ceremony for Tiller, this would have been the top story for both local and national media. Since it isn't a top story, it's up to you to send this to as many people as possible. In case youtube deletes the video or the account, here are multiple links to see and share the video footage.

The majority of Jews in this country supported Obama. Clearly he is not a supporter of Israel. Go figure.

What makes you think American Jews support Israel? I think it is a myth. I have never seen the support.

Warning signs of the War of Gog and Magog? ...Israel is abandoned by her allies...

True, but we DIDN"T buy into this...only the fools and even the fools and idiots could NOT have been so stupid and blind...okay, G!d establishes kings and kingdoms...if this is it, then we need to really,really, pray, and organize, His Spirit( the ruach) will lead us. Obama has made more than the first declaration of tossing Israel under the bus.

I wonde what will happen on the 7th of Av...Shabbos shalom everyone...this screwball IS EVIL and does not know what he's done, and if he does then the devil with him

"Standard procedure, no big deal, right? 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."

To be intellectually honest, I don't see the difference here. Bush didn't have the guts to actually do it in 8 years, so what's the point of having a policy goal in their that you don't intend to enact? Bush wasn't going to do it, and neither is Obama, so why bother with the phony lipservice?

Means nothing. U.S. Jews will support Obama in overwhelming numbers no matter what his policy is toward Israel. Death wish.

Yeah, it's some weird masochistic thing... Somebody here at FR explained it to me a few years ago. American Jews vote overwhelmingly for the party that would disarm them, thereby making it easy for some future tyrant to herd them into the boxcars. It's absolutely inexplicable, but there you go.

Thanks to those who voted for this devil.

Well, the MSM told us that if we voted for McCain:

  • Our country would be divided by the harshest partisan politics ever
  • Our economy would go in the dumpster
  • U. S. foreign policy would be controlled by self-interest groups
  • Voter fraud would rise and we could not ever trust the integrity of the voting system again
  • There would be protests in the streets of America
  • We would have the most incompetent vice-president ever
  • The War on Terror would get worse
  • There would be no peace in the Middle East

Boy were they right! I held my nose and voted for McCain and everyone of those things have happened.

To: Abakumov; All

The Usurper-in-Chief visited the site of the new U.S. embassy this week, didn’t you all catch his visit to Buchenwald?

Because that is where 0bama is hoping the Israelis will end up once more, along with his Muslim buddies.

As 0bama is turning America’s back on Israel, be assured that God is turning His back on America, and we should all be on our knees and praying.

...the guy seriously creeps me out.

I was beginning to think I was the only one who felt that way. I remember telling my friend almost two years ago those very same words. The fist time I saw him on tv, he reminded me of a cadaver....still does. The guy really does creep me out.
