Washington Post to Obama: Back Down on ‘Settlements'

Israel National News ^ | June 8, 2009 | Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

The liberal-leaning Washington Post, often noted as reflecting U.S. policy, editorialized Sunday that U.S. President Barack Obama’s demand that Israel stop all building for Jews in Judea and Samaria may leave him without Israel as an ally and without Arab support. The daily traditionally has taken a harsh view of Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria.

...and the MSM starts a feeding frenzy. I can dream, can’t I? I still believe that some day soon the MSM will go after Obama. Especially when they realize how much attention it gets them.

He won't and can't...his Mussolini syndrome has kicked in...

[Schnucki]

Welp, there goes the bailout funds for the washington post.

You are right about the Mussolini syndrome kicking in. He has convinced himself that he, and only he, knows all the answers to all the worlds problems and if they don’t listen he will make them pay.

The start of something good?

"Captain Obama, do you want me to put their names on the list?"

[Carl LaFong]

“Liberal leaning”?. LOL. Kind of like Leon Trotsky was “liberal leaning”.

My Mom spoke of El Duche often.... His power destroyed him....

We should also stop building in our occupied lands. All land that had been occupied by Native Americans. The lands taken from Mexico should be given back. The 13 colonies should be abandoned. Texas should be a free nation.

Obama, you are as ridiculous as the above statements!!

Amd he is systematically putting his front men ("czars") in place so that his "fingerprints" can't be found at the scene of his crimes.

The excerpt kinda stinks, here's the direct link. Basically, Obama's call for a settlement freeze was bound to be rejected, but accomplishes the real goal of blaming Israel for obstructing (so-called) peace (so-called) agreements. This op-ed is there to lay down a meme absolving Obama from any blame. The Muzzie and Arab backlash against the US, no matter who is in the White House, is bound to happen, so nothing at all is gained in foreign policy objectives -- obviously, Obama's speech was done to strengthen his domestic political position.

Pathetic, that we get so 'heartened' by honest MSM attention. It surely speaks to our lowered expectations; but perhaps this goes beyond a 'restless break'; and this Media is beginning to realize the 'downside' of being framed by Obama's grace.

Oh that this sycophant Media might wake up. . .and realize that promises can become threats; and that choices can become painfully - and sacrificially - coercive.

Guess only time will tell; if this writing is the result of a personal hot button being hit; or WaPo on early side of an enlightenment; as to what kind of bed this Media is making for itself. . .and if they can 'get there' by a remote altruism; consider what kind of future they are co-authoring, for America; and the rest of the world for that mattere.
