Hillary's Role in Obama's Mideast Disasters
Jewish World Review ^ | 7/17/2012 | Jonathan Tobin

Posted on 07/17/2012 6:16:20 AM PDT by Former Fetus

The Washington Post trod over some familiar territory this past weekend with a 7,000-word retrospective on the Obama administration's Middle East peace process misadventures. The account strives to put President Obama in a favorable light. But even the most sympathetic narrative of this period must come to grips with the president's blundering, most of which was rooted in his determination to distance the United States from Israel in a vain attempt to score points with the Arab world. For the first three years of his presidency, Washington was focused on pressuring Israel, a policy that alienated the Jewish state but did nothing to nudge the Palestinians to make peace.

The Post's lengthy rehashing of the president's Middle East follies is part of the paper's series of pieces evaluating the history of the last four years. It is worthwhile for the way it places in perspective the administration's election-year Jewish charm offensive that has walked back some of the previous stands. It also makes clear that while President Obama deserves the lion's share of the blame for the way he made a bad situation worse, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also ought to be held accountable for her role in the ongoing debacle. That's a not unimportant point considering that Clinton is in Israel this week as part of an attempt on Obama's part to smooth over relations.

This should be required reading in every synagogue in the US! I will never understand the American Jewish voting rationale.

Globalist governmentoids know they cannot do anything with an armed populace. A government, to do its exploitative bidding on its master, must have an old and weak master from whom the affairs are taken. So they must accept certain losses to depression and genocide.

It’s almost as if the incompetence is so acceptable that while Hitler is not acceptable, dealing with him with incompetence is acceptable, even to the point of submission to him again.

If American Jews vote for Obama this November, it will explain a lot.

HillarObama, aka the example of the gay community relation between male and female homosexuals. Each do their own bidding of destruction, just like that.

It’s the loophole to Hitler worship. Communism, liberalism, progressism etc... they all are this loophole and absurdities of affirmative action attacking true genuine competence and making it excusable to submit to Hitler.

Hillary is an incompetent Secretary of State. Just as she was an incompetent healthcare advocate, “children's” advocate, first lady and senator. Whenever she fails, she gets a promotion. When will her career end??

Someday, there is going to be a real treasure trove of revisionist history books on this mediocre woman - whose only real claim to fame is getting into a good college and latching onto Bill Clinton.

Except for MSM wholesale bias and fawning deference, Evita would not HAVE a ‘career’.

How could the ‘smartest woman in the world’ sit still for 20+ years of her husband’s VERY crude and predictable monkeyshines?

THIS is ‘smart’?
THIS is a person we can respect?
This is a person we can trust with foreign policy decisions?

Evita’s habitual, unwholesome, consummate and patently selective myopia tells me she is worse than ignorant…she is the most superlative, manipulating, shallow, opportunistic and self-serving double-dealer on earth!

Can I also say - that as a woman - she embarrasses our whole sex by swanning around the world with dirty, unkempt hair, ill-fitting pant suits and a bleary expression?

Angela Merkel is no beauty and she’s also middle-aged but at least her hair is clean and neat and her business suits fit her figure properly.

One doesn’t have to look like Sophia Loren or Evita to be a successful politician. But going around looking like Moms Mabley is something else again...

Evita looks like she gave up on herself. It’s been her ‘look’ for some time now.

Her whole demeanor and appearance is entirely in keeping with the ‘appearance’ and socio/political outlook of the social misfits, political dissidents and other assorted malcontents she presumes to speak for.

Anti-establishment and other nonconformist claptrap is their ‘religion’… albeit a religion which is by now a laughably dated a confirmed sham.

With a wholly radical and anti-establishment administation running amok in the country, how can Evita’s ‘opposition chic’ carry any weight NOW??!!!

Remember: Conforming to non-conformity is conforming just the same!

Maybe she should organize Occupy Chappaqua.

They are still fighting non-existent anti-Semitic Wasps who died out years ago.
