When Obama wrote in his book that he “will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction,” he wasn’t joking.
Obama repeatedly proves himself to be anti-Israel. During Israel’s most recent war against Hamas terrorists, Obama called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “reckless and untrustworthy” and even considered placing sanctions against Israel. Moreover, Obama halted a missile shipment to Israel during the war.
Obama has made numerous efforts to reach a nuclear deal with Iran that threatens Israel’s survival. Citing “well-placed” sources as well as two top aides for Netanyahu, a Kuwaiti newspaper claims that Obama was so angered at Israeli plans to strike Iran nuclear facilities in 2014 that he threatened to shoot down Israeli planes before they could reach their targets.
During Netyanuhu’s reelatection campaign, the Obama administration fiercely opposed Netanyahu visiting the US and speaking to Congress. Obama’s National Security Advisor Susan Rice said Netanyahu’s speech before Congress about Iran is “destructive” to the relationship between the United States and Israel.
The tension is so great that Netanyahu, who chose to speak to Congress despite Obama’s opposition, said: “We are not here to offend President Obama, whom we respect very much. These two men couldn’t have less in common.
And we totally drew the short straw:
Cartoon of the Year, so far.
Excellent!
Yes, brilliant indeed!
Good one!
Obama has committed treason on the illegal immigrants alone. He should be in jail right now.
On a side note, here is Obama's alleged "stand with muslims" quote, with some context.
From pages 260-261 in his book, Audacity of Hope: "Whenever I appear before immigrant audiences, I can count on some good-natured ribbing from my staff after my speech; according to them, my remarks always follow a three-part structure: "I am your friend," "[Fill in the home country] has been a cradle of civilization," and "You embody the American dream." They're right, my message is simple, for what I've come to understand is that my mere presence before these newly minted Americans serves notice that they matter, that they are voters critical to my success and full-fledged citizens deserving of respect. "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
That's it. He did not write the words: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction", and I can find no record of him ever speaking those words. I'd be happy to hear from someone who has a verifiable quote, though, and I certainly think his ACTIONS show a bias towards islam.
I despise the man, but it does nothing but provide fodder to our enemies when we misquote him or intentionally misinterpret his words.
Agreed.
That pic of Bibi and Obama shows the difference between a patriot that loves and has taken care of his country his whole life and a slacker who has played the system with the race card and never held a job his whole life.
We used to do a lot of careful analysis, like this, on this site.
I know.
I wish we still did.
A picture says 1,000 words. Truth always gets in the way of politics...
Add Bill, Hill, and Harry to the Orange Jumpsuit Club, along with Lois Lerner, Eric Holder, McCarthy at the EPA and Kostigen at IRS for starters. We need to keep Gitmo open.
