HURT: 'Islamist Firster' president not what he claimed
Washington Times ^ | Jan 31, 2012 | Charles Hurt

Posted on 02/01/2012 7:15:56 AM PST by Innovative

GOLAN HEIGHTS - Surveying the live minefields, cratered roads and mortar-pocked concrete buildings along the border here between Syria and Israel, it is hard not to be reminded of the historic and monumental disappointment President Obama has been.

...Mr. Obama has devoted his administration to raising taxes, adding to the byzantine structure of the federal government, and has created a whole new massive bureaucracy he claims really will cure our every little boo-boo.

Mr. Obama chose to unilaterally alienate perhaps our most strategically important ally in the world and do all he can to cozy up to the very people who are dedicated to destroying not only Israel, but America as well.

Leading Democrats have been in the news lately sliming Americans who stick up for Israel as being "Israel Firsters." Well, Mr. Obama has become an "Islamist Firster."

Since becoming president, he has not once visited our greatest ally in the region. Rather, he has gone to places like Cairo to tell the Muslim world how much he likes it.

I don’t think so — he recently wrote an article about Romney, that is not very flattering:

HURT: Romney just another latter-day John Kerry

And how about commenting on the article? I think his comments are accurate, he tells it like it is.

Sorry, Mr. Hurt, but the one and only reason that O'bama is a "monumental disappointment" is because you bought the whole monumental boatload of snake oil that he was selling back in '08.

he campaigned on tax cuts and personal responsibility and preached that the government simply cannot be the answer to every problem.

My memory is hazy on that one. Don't remember Barry-O singing THAT song. If he did, it sounds like "Sure, baby, I'll still love you tomorrow".

Don’t shoot the messenger! The article makes very jmportant points.

“Since becoming president, he has not once visited our greatest ally in the region. Rather, he has gone to places like Cairo to tell the Muslim world how much he likes it. He also stunningly trashed the oath of office he took by saying it is “part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”

What historic and monumental disappointment is he talking about? I voted for McCain and I have NOT been disappointed with Obama, he is exactly the kind of traitorous enemy of America that I knew he would be months before the election. Anyone who is disappointed is not very bright, they expected good from a man who obviously intended harm and made it plain to anyone who was paying attention.
