OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR The Exodus Obama Forgot to Mention
The New York Times ^ | June 8, 2009 | ANDRÉ ACIMAN

Posted on 06/12/2009 2:24:39 PM PDT by Melissa 24

PRESIDENT OBAMA’S speech to the Islamic world was a groundbreaking event. Never before has a young, dynamic American president, beloved both by his countrymen and the nations of the world, extended so timely and eager a hand to a part of the globe that, recently, had seen fewer and fewer reasons to trust us or to wish us well. As important, Mr. Obama did not mince words. Never before has a president gone over to the Arab world and broadcast its flaws so loudly and clearly: extremism, nuclear weapons programs and a faltering record in human rights, education and economic development — the Arab world gets no passing grades in any of these domains. Mr. Obama even found a moment to mention the plight of Egypt’s harassed Coptic community and to criticize the new wave of Holocaust deniers. And to show he was not playing favorites, he put the Israelis on notice: no more settlements in the occupied territories. He spoke about the suffering of Palestinians. This was no wilting olive branch.

And yet, for all the president’s talk of “a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world” and shared “principles of justice and progress,” neither he nor anyone around him, and certainly no one in the audience, bothered to notice one small detail missing from the speech: he forgot me.

The president never said a word about me. Or, for that matter, about any of the other 800,000 or so Jews born in the Middle East who fled the Arab and Muslim world or who were summarily expelled for being Jewish in the 20th century. With all his references to the history of Islam and to its (questionable) “proud tradition of tolerance” of other faiths, Mr. Obama never said anything about those Jews whose

Obama is a Jew-hater, plain and simple. He is a Muslim ruled by Islam First, a Jew Hater second and a freedom-hatin socialist above all.

I know it is difficult, but read on. The writer is softening you up for the 1-2 punch.

While I can't disagree, I think your analysis is a little simplistic. I think Obama wants to dismantle every established power base in replace them with his own bases.

The Jews are but one. He's already dismantled the Wall Street and Manufacturing Sectors. He is hard at work on Healthcare and Pharma. He is also preparing to go after Energy in a big way. All of which will have profound impact on everyone's freedoms in very fundamental ways.

At the same time he and his supporters are extending the Gov’t intrusion into every facet of the individual Citizen's life with Gov’t involvement in virtually every aspect of an individual’s ability to work, privacy and choice.

The Jews are just a small part of this grand strategy and - I think it is working. Just look at what has happened in the first four months!

“...Never before has a young, dynamic American president, beloved both by his countrymen and the nations of the world, extended so timely and eager a hand to a part of the globe...”

This qualifies as the biggest pile of bull-Obama that I’ve ever encountered in my life.

Stupidity, thy name is “journalist”.

With people like him, simplistic is best. That's what drives him - hate, power and hate. There is nothing about him or his wife that is compassionate. The only thing c compelling about them is their total arrogance and assuredness of what they plan for the rest of us......

You may think this alarmist, but they are proceeding down that same path that was once trod by Hitler, Mussolini, et al.....consolidation of power and exercise thereof are the hallmarks. And, Zero is doing exactly that.

Agree. It IS frightening and the composition of the House and Senate at this juncture is very, very ominous.

I do not think you are an alarmist. The World is most assuredly upside down and, from what I see happening every day, it is about to get worse.

“Obama is a Jew-hater, plain and simple. He is a Muslim ruled by Islam First, a Jew Hater second and a freedom-hatin socialist above all.”

Sadly, I have to agree with what you have said. The conclusion I came to several months ago, is that Obama is a Jew hater, and he is determined over time to insure that the Arabs take over Israel. There can be no other reason for his behavior, no matter how hard one tries to conjure up one.

He is not a Christian. He is a Muslim hiding behind Christianity as he knows full well that no Muslim could be elected President.

He is the Manchurian Candidate. The fools who voted him into office will soon realize their stupidity, but it may be too late for all of us.
