The list, ping
Yes, the last thing Obama would want the U.S. to do is stand with our traditional friends when they are right.
Better to remain seated and let the U.N., Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Fatah... do as they please.
Il Douche’ seems poised to do it again.
These people are seriously trying to destroy everything good about this country.
And President Obama votes “present!” once again!
And obammy will vote......PRESENT and leave the tough decisions to someone else.
If that isn’t the truth...
F this Marxist bastard, he is NOT the Planets “Community Organizer”.
There will be dire consequences on this man’s hands as a result of his “social engineering experimentation” with one of our Greatest Allies.
Only because the Hussein admin. is deathly afraid that Dem Jewish donors are "seriously considering" closing their wallets.
Yes, you and MdMathis6 are spot on.
The American people are going to stand for this crap?!?
I hope they do abstain. Then Israel can tell the US to go f*ck themselves. We and They need to turn to Ha Shem (G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob) and turn our backs on the world.
And it’s worth pointing out again that there is almost no domestic coverage of the fact that 327 House members sent Hillary Clinton a letter last week, cautioning her to back off from the pressure being put on our ally, Israel.
The MSM seems totally complicit with Obama once again, providing almost no coverage so far of the blowback Obama’s behavior and one-sided treatment of Israel is beginning to cause.
I hope they do abstain. Then Israel can tell the US to go f*ck themselves.
and what else would we expect from a man who sat at his pew for 20 yrs listening to hatred spewed against Israel from the lips of one Jeremiah Wright. Do we really believe none of it was absorbed thru the thin skull of BHO?
How “Obama” of him,,,, voting present again? Chuckle,,,
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

This is a surprise?
What we dont need is some kind of early warning mechanism there, what we need is a willingness to put something on the line in helping the situation. Putting something on the line might mean alienating a domestic constituency of tremendous political and financial import ; it may more crucially mean sacrificing or investing, I think, more than sacrificing billions of dollars , not in servicing Israels military, but actually investing in the new state of Palestine , in investing the billions of dollars it would probably take, also, to support what will have to be a mammoth protection force , not of the old Rwanda kind, but a meaningful military presence . Because it seems to me at this stage (and this is true of actual genocides as well, and not just major human rights abuses, which were seen there), you have to go in as if youre serious , you have to put something on the line.Unfortunately, imposition of a solution on unwilling parties is dreadful. Its a terrible thing to do, its fundamentally undemocratic. But, sadly, we dont just have a democracy here either, we have a liberal democracy . There are certain sets of principles that guide our policy, or that are meant to, anyway. Its essential that some set of principles becomes the benchmark, rather than a deference to [leaders] who are fundamentally politically destined to destroy the lives of their own people. And by that I mean what Tom Freidman has called Sharafat. [Sharon-Arafat; this is actually an Amos Oz construction -- NP] I do think in that sense, both political leaders have been dreadfully irresponsible. And, unfortunately, it does require external intervention.
Samantha Power
Director for Multilateral Affairs, National Security Council
Yes, she's acknowledged she made a mistake, not much else she could have done after the Jenin "massacre" was proved to be a fraud, but this would have been her advice to the President had she been on the NSC at the time, and American troops would have been invading Israel and the West Bank before the fraud was widely known in the Israel hating community. Go to war with Israel, that's the kind of advice BHO values. If it's a mistake, so what.
I understand and agree with you more than you know. It does occur to me though, that it is important that the U.S. not turn it’s back on the rest of the world.
That world needs someone to speak truth to it, and someone to seek to move it back from the brink.
Europe should be ashamed to have abandoned Israel. Israel should be defended. Who is making that claim on the world stage, if not for us?
And this has been sadly lacking to the point that even our own leader thinks he can get away with allowing Israel to hang out there dangling in today’s bitter wind.
Big, massive mistake IMO.
Jerusalem is one city in Israel.
To deny this or avoid it,is not responsible stewardship.
Barack Obama is an Anti-Semite
When is the conservative media going to start referring him as such?
