Obama Can’t Use Reconciliation To Demand Israel’s Sacrifice
IBD's Capital Hill ^ | 4/15/2010 | Ed Carson

Here’s a New York Times article that may run a chill down the back of Israelis:

When Mr. Obama declared that resolving the long-running Middle East dispute was a “vital national security interest of the United States,” he was highlighting a change that has resulted from a lengthy debate among his top officials over how best to balance support for Israel against other American interests.

Israelis have good reason to worry. President Obama has shown disdain for U.S. allies and a special disdain for America’s special relationships with Britain and Israel. He seems more comfortable bowing to authoritarian rulers and hugging Hugo Chavez than dining with Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu.

Obama has been more than willing to sacrifice allies to achieve a greater goal. With ObamaCare, dozens of vulnerable Democratic lawmakers may lose their jobs. For Israelis, the stakes are a little higher.

Obama doesn’t realize the big picture he is messing with. He is like a child with a Sharpie.

"If we let Israel get annihilated, will we lose a lot of the Jewish vote or their donations? No? OK, it sounds like a plan."

IMHO Barry Hussein Soetoro believes he can make up the rules as he goes - he is on record saying the Constitution is not to his liking and he campaigned on TRANSFORMING America. Barry, Nancy, Harry, and Soros are right on track with their plan - someone needs to stop this coup.

“If we let Israel get annihilated

If “0” thinks Bibi is difficult to deal with, wait until he meets up with God.

The real one? Not the one he sees in the mirror?

Or reads in his Koran?

No matter the birth certificate issue, he is still related to Kenyan Muslims.

Kenyans don’t like the UK for their years of occupation.

Muslims, of course, don’t like Israel.

Nuff said.

Who does this guy think he is telling Obama what he can and can’t do? If Obama won’t pay attention to the constitution, or citizens, or even many members of his own party, he certainly won’t care what Ed Carson has to say.
