71 Senators to Obama " How About Pressuring the Arab States For a Change ?"
JPOST/The Lid ^ | 8/11/09 | The Lid

Posted on 08/11/2009 12:10:56 AM PDT by Shellybenoit

Since May, when the POTUS began to focus on trying to bring peace to the Middle East it has become clear that Obama strategy is to pressure Israel and let the Arab nations off the hook. Today it was announced that 71 Senators signed a letter to the President telling him that it is high time he put some pressure on the Arabs rather than focusing on Israel.

"We encourage Arab leaders to take similar tangible steps to demonstrate their commitment to the peace process," write the senators. "Such steps could include ending the Arab League boycott of Israel, meeting openly with Israeli officials, establishing open trade relations with Israel, issuing visas to Israeli citizens, and inviting Israelis to participate in academic and professional conferences and sporting events. We also believe that Arab states must immediately and permanently end official propaganda campaigns which demonize Israel and Jews."

One of the interesting things about the letter is that the Anti-Israel Jewish organization j-street fought hard against it. Of course the only on that considers j-street as a powerful Jewish group is President Obama. Only six of the 13 Democratic Senators signed the letter. Of course one of the non-signers was Minnesota Senator Al Franken, and there is question whether he knows how to write his name.

Don’t be silly, Jewish Senators probably agree with the “pressure Israel” policy. After all, it’s for their own good.

You see, the Constitution is a flawed document. We need to change it because it allowed slavery.

The mooseSlimes only sold the slaves, they didn't write a flawed document that allowed it.
Besides the taking and selling of slaves is expressly allowed in their holey book, and we shouldn't meddle in their affairs.

He’s not Muslim. He’s a “Liberation Theology” communist like Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright, the Black Panthers, the Weather Underground, the Black Liberation Army and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. None of this crap has anything to do with religion.

Sorry, after reading the first part of your post just now I realize you weren’t being serious. You were jokingly saying that that is what the DemonRats might want us to believe about him. I too quickly assumed you were under that same misguided notion as about 40% of our side: that Obama is a muslim, or, for that matter, religious in any traditional way (Wright’s “Black Liberation Theology” has been denounced and rejected by the Catholic church as the communist movement that it is).
