Dan Shapiro, the new American ambassador to Israel, submitted his credentials to President Shimon Peres on Wednesday. That same day, he submitted a declaration of support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: In an interview with Channel 2 television, he downplayed the lack of trust between Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama and the latter's rage and sense of insult over Netanyahu's appearance before Congress in May, treating their serial disputes as routine disagreements between friends.

Bibi knows that Obozo is the enemy of Israel, he is not fooled.

Nor is God.

God Bless Israel, God Bless the U.S.

Did the new American envoy pull up to Bibi's place inside a huge wooden horse on wheels?

Obama’s rage?
Obama’s sense of insult?

We are lucky Israel is still speaking to us the way he
treated the PM.

If there had been a bust of Menachem Begin in the Oval Office, the Messiah would have sent it back to Israel, probably in pieces.

If Yassar Arafat was still alive and applying for the job of US Ambassador to Israel I’m sure that Obama would hire him in an instant!!

‘Remove obstacles for Obama’s second term’?

You mean, the fact that Obama doesn’t back the continued survival of Israel or any of its population?

Too little, too late.

But never fear; America’s self-destructive Jews will vote for Premier Hussein in droves nonetheless.

I didn’t want him for the first 4 years.

From NJDC:

The bottom line from the 2008 exit poll: Obama 78%, McCain 21%, Other 1%

I predict a "disaster" for 0bama among Jews in 2012: they will only break 2-1 (67%)in his favor, instead of 3-1(75%), as usual. The richest secular Jews will still contribute a gazillion $ to his campaign.

Therein lies the source of the problem and Schmuckie Schumer is the poster child. I think we should start a new acronym of JINO.
