Pelosi: President Obama's Been to Israel ‘Over and Over Again’ William Kristol July 28, 2012 10:43 AM
Daniel Halper has called attention to Nancy Pelosi's remarkable interview with Al Hunt on the topic of Barack Obama and Israel. I'd note one comment in particular: Pelosi's claim that President Obama "has been there [Israel] over and over again."
Wow. I'm involved with the Emergency Committee for Israel. We have an ad up in several states calling attention to the fact that President Obama, who's been quite the world traveler, has never visited Israel as president. Did we make a terrible mistake? Were we unjust to President Obama? Do we have to pull down the ad?
No, no, and no. Contrary to Pelosi's apparent claim, President Obama hasn't been to Israel over and over again. He's never been as president, which is certainly what Pelosi implied. Well, maybe he visited Israel "over and over" before becoming president, and that's what Pelosi meant to say? No. When he was senator, Obama went on two trips to Israel, once with several other freshmen members of Congress, and then as a presidential candidate. And he'd never been interested enough in Israel to visit as a private citizen. So much for the notion that Obama's been "over and over again."
So Pelosi is wrong, and the Emergency Committee is right. But Pelosi's resort to a whopper to try to reassure pro-Israel voters does suggest how worried Democrats must be about the reaction to Obama's attempt to create distance between his administration and Israel, as Obama's Israel policy gets more scrutiny.
The woman is 72 now. Has she ever had her health evaluated . . . ?
Remember, It’s what is in their feelings. They feel zer0 has been there, So he has.
Time for Pelosi to get that psych eval she has needed for a long time. This woman is bonkers. She is dangerous.
Through virtual reality or in his dreams?
I honestly cannot recall a single time when Air Force One touched down in Israel during Obama’s term.
Now that the election is just a few months away obammy and co. just love Israel. No one will remember all the disses over the last 3.5 yrs. The MSM will give cover. No sweat.
With her gold plated congressional medical plan...I'm sure she is in the best medical hands
Her mental health is quite suspect...personally, I think she went clinically insane when she lost the house gavel
Pelosi: President Obama's Has Made Israel Bend Over ‘Over and Over Again’
There, I fixed it.
What's the problem?
;-)
The media has allowed these leftists to get away with lie after lie, and they’ve finally completely lost their minds.
Thats why the democrats are so keen to fill Florida up with illegals - they wont have to kowtow to the snowbirds in this key state anymore and then Israel can rot.
I hate to be in the position of defending pelosi, but kristol took her comment completely out of context. She didn’t say he had been ‘to Israel’. She meant FOR Israel. Just as delusional, but kristol blew it.

Pelosi responded, “Well, that’s how they’re being exploited. And they’re smart people. They follow these issues. But they have to know the facts. And the fact is that President Obama has been the strongest person in terms of sanctions on Iran, which is important to Israel. He’s been the strongest person on whether it’s Iron Dome, David’s Sling, any of these weapons systems and initiatives that relate to Israel. He has been there over and over again.”
Huh? She’s making less and less sense.
Of course, the bar wasn’t so high in the first place.
I see that it was used as a metaphor, as in
"I've visited that issue many times".
This is an important clarification that we need to know.
