“The Political Equivalent of a Sociopath” (Obama) Blows Up the Middle East
First Things ^ | 5/31/2010 | David "Spengler" Goldman

Posted on 06/01/2010 9:40:45 AM PDT by mojito

Every analyst I know is baffled by the Obama administration. The Israeli government is baffled; the Arab governments of the Middle East are baffled; European foreign ministries are baffled; and the journalists and thinktankers and camp-followers are baffled. One hears different things from source one consults; the more authoritative the source, the more confusing the result.

Many conjectures as to this state of affairs are possible. My best working hypothesis is that the administration is the simple reflection of the operating style of the president, whom I qualified as “the political equivalent of a sociopath” in a Feb. 26, 2008 analysis.

That might work for a campaign, but not for a government. Things are blowing up in Washington’s face, and will do so in an ever-more alarming fashion.

President Obama set the stage for such problems by making Israel the cuprit for war in the Middle East, first by blaming Israeli apartment construction in Jerusalem (as it happened in the no-man’s land of Ramat Shlomo which would remain in Israeli hands under any conceivable partition of the city), but most egregiously by voting for a UN resolution demanding that Israel open its nuclear facilities to international inspection.The US took the position that Israel rather than Iran is the nuclear offender in the Middle East, as a matter of black-and-white official results.

September 7, 2008 -- On ABC's "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos, presidential candidate Barack Obama admits that he is of the Islamic faith. This clip shows how the media will do anything to protect this guy...George corrects him for saying Muslim faith.

Bam the AC? Maybe, but maybe just a dolt in way over his head. One thing for sure, he is just not really that bright and is ill suited temperamentally to be the President.

Your post makes some good points. I do believe for sure we are in for a rough ride.

Genesis (12:3) God “will bless those who bless the Jews and curse whoever curses the Jews.”

Thanks, schu

True, but he a genius when it comes to telling lies. As someone's tag line used to say, "Obama, home of the whopper!"

That said, I have not concluded that he is the AC nor have I eliminated him from contention.

But his actions against Israel lately (his evident message to the muslim world that Israel is on her own) have certainly turned my attention back to that issue.

I heard earlier that Obama was siding with Israel in this latest situation.

Yes. After having voted against them.

Should Israel trust the words? Or believe the actions?
