Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is joining the chorus of bipartisan criticism against President Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, and whoever else had a hand in the U.S. abstaining from this week's anti-Israel UN resolution, condemning settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
By neglecting to stand with Israel, the administration, Rubio said, is catering to "the demands of freedoms enemies." Furthermore, our abstaining from the vote "undermines our moral standing in the world."
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said more of the same in multiple statements on Wednesday.
"These acts are shameful," Cruz said. "They are designed to secure a legacy, and indeed they have: history will record and the world will fully understand Obama and Kerry as relentless enemies of Israel. Their actions were designed to weaken and marginalize Israel, and to embolden its enemies."
Democrats, too, are appalled by the White House's treatment of Israel. Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), for instance, accused the administration of strengthening Israel's enemies.
Just as they tuned out all of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's warnings about the nuclear deal with Iran, the White House is not listening to these concerns. Instead, Kerry offered an hour long speech on Wednesday explaining why he's right.
I am waiting for Lindsey Graham to ‘come out’ showing support for (guess who?) Obama.
Whatever was left of Obama’s legacy is disappearing into a wisp of vapor. He is very dangerous now. It will get more dangerous between now and noon, Nanuary 20th. It’s a mental disorder. May God protect us and this land from his evil.
Almost 8 years late, aren’t you, Senate????
We need gifted freepers (all more gifted than I) to coin words to fully describe the almost indescribable stupidity of quota boy chief Dorkbama and his marshmallow major minions in gubmit and the “press”.
I suggest “Gore-goplex” or “DeCaprio-osity” to relate the degree of scientific ineptness.
Now, what about the kaleidoscopic spectrum of possible words dealing with political and economic idiocy?
If the senators would wet their finger they could test the political wind a little more quickly.
I wonder how Cruz and Trump knew it was a screw job right away?/s
And yet 70 percent of American Jews voted for him.
To be fair, Jews are the only people expected to vote based on what’s best for their or their ancestors’ homeland.
The reason they should be voting for a Republican is because what’s going on is WRONG.
These people are America’s enemies. And would kill American as fast as Jew.
ALL Americans should vote against that.
The real Obama legacy is that he has made the Democratic Party a welcoming and nurturing home for anti Zionists of all stripes. They are not only given credibility and respectability, but theyare achieving positions of power and influence.
I’m not interested in any of our politicians complaining about Obama. Nearly all of them have rolled over like obedient dogs for him for 8 years.
Exactly what I meant....
Its beginning to look like maybe just maybe Obama f**cked up on this one. Doing this when Trump is taking over in three weeks seems like a bad miscalculation. It really gives Trump ammo to go after the UN. Had he done this 2 years ago he would have much more control of the fallout. Yes, he is getting his last shots and in but Im sure hes wanted a screw Israel like that this for a long time. I only say maybe because he still has the slavish MSM running his spin on this so well see.
vindictive petulant obama is doing everything he can at the last minute to punish America for putting trump in office.
What a horrible person and a horrible president.
You don’t do this stuff in your final days, unless you are Obama. Another new low for the democrat party.
are those 70% real practicing Jews?
You don’t watch or listen for Graham. You watch and listen for Graham’s lover and boy friend, McCain. Where ever you see or hear McCain, you know that Graham is right behind him.
Uh-oh. Little Marco’s come out and condemned what the Administration is doing.
That Paragon of courage...Little Marco.
So true, in more ways than one!
Can we still get that messed up Gauc recipe from Tippy Toes?
Yikes, right behind him is right.
Louie Gormet (I think was not really paying attention) said he had looked into it and if the ground the UN building is on is not used for specific purpose it’s ownership returned to NYC
