Obama calls Netanyahu after criticism of Iran nuclear plan
Reuters ^ | Nov 8, 2013 | Mark Felsenthal and Matt Spetalnick

U.S. President Barack Obama called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday after the Israeli leader delivered a stinging rebuke to Washington over a deal taking shape in talks between Iran and world powers seeking to curb Tehran's nuclear program.

The telephone call marked an apparent bid by Obama to tamp down growing unease over the emerging Iran deal among the United States' Middle East allies, including Saudi Arabia, as well as mounting opposition to the plan on Capitol Hill.

"Any deal that breathes life back into Iran's economy in return for token and superficial moves that put Tehran no further from nuclear breakout ... appears to be a horrific strategic error," said Josh Block, chief executive officer of The Israel Project, a non-partisan, pro-Israel organization.

"It must be frustrating to Obama that there’s no way he can get the IRS to harass Netanyahu."

"One big question: Why is Obama so anxious to help Iran, without Iran making any concessions whatsoever?"

----------------------------------------------->

Goodbye new Iranian president and mullahs,

Hello, Muslim Brotherhood.

Eventually, IMHO.

"And yes, Obama is siding with the Muslims."

------------------------------------------------->

Because he is one.

He loves the sound of the call to Muslim prayer at dusk - something like that.

A Muslim president for a nation founded on Judeo/Christian tenets and rule of law.

I do wish there was HARD evidence proving that. I have been ridiculed many times in polite company.

Ask your detractors to name a single circumstance where Obama has favored a position other than the Muslim Brotherhood's?

On Egypt. On Libya. On Syria. On Iran. On Palestine. Et cetera.

Fact is, he has never taken the side of the West in any of these situations.

"I do wish there was HARD evidence proving that. I have been ridiculed many times in polite company."

==============================>

There are bits and pieces leading one to think he is Muslim but I don't think he is card-carrying, Mosque-attending Muslim (they probably come to him. Maybe when he is golfing for hours, some of the time is for Muslim prayer.

It is hard to pin B. Hussein O. down with hard evidence. You have to connect dots but may still be wrong. But I betcha' there is a prayer rug in his closet facing east.

Like the time George Stephanopolis (sic) had B. Hussein O. as a guest on his show and B.O. referred to his Muslim faith. George had to save him - oh, don't you mean your Christian faith. Oh, yeah, yeah.

If Islam is in peril from other forces - the winds of change - he will side with Islam. (that is in one of his autobiographies) Islam or Muslims - I don't recall which but he definitely has his alliance with Islam/Muslim.

He attended Madrases when he lived in Indonesia.

At a gathering of his Arab/Muslim supporters, it makes negative remarks about Jews and Israel - maybe just campaign talk considering his audience. Maybe he could have shifted the topic but didn't.

Can't remember which head of state Obama was talking to but he disparaged Netanyahu - can't remember quote but it was something like Netanyahu was a pain in the ass calling him daily.

He has 6 Muslim Brotherhood members as part of his administration.

Hindi wear their turban one way and Muslims wear theirs another. One wears the turban with ears showing and one covers ears. In a photograph of an adult B. O. I think he is wearing the Muslim turban (will have to confirm this-at the time, I thought, "hmmmmm...is that a Hindi turban or a Muslim turban?" There are other "dots" and I may be very, very wrong with just these few.

His actions tell me, IMHO, he is Muslim. No friend to America and no friend to Israel.

"On the other hand, it may be that our president is a traitor to America and western civilization and he wants a new Caliphate to rise up and turn us all into slaves. (I’m not sure where he thinks he’ll be in this new Caliphate, but he sees himself in some central role. Or, he believes it will not affect him. I suspect he lives in an imaginary world where he’s continuously accepting the Nobel prize.)"

-------------------------------->

Sounds about right.
