Future Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says President Barack Obama is not popular in Israel “and for good reason”.

Speaking to the Israel Hayom newspaper, McConnell, who has become one of the most powerful and influential people in Washington since November’s midterm election, said, “It is no secret that president Obama isn’t popular in Israel, and for good reason.”

“In my view, he has tilted on numerous occasions in a direction that would lead Israelis to believe that he is not as solemn an ally as past presidents have been,” added McConnell, a senator from Kentucky. …

Only the liberal ones. But they outnumber the orthodox by quite a bit. The state of Israel was never a priority for the liberal Jews.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is another empty suit and a dangerous RINO to boot. He needs to go.

Wonder how the Israelis feel about him? About the same as JFnK I would assume.

The intersection between communism and freedom (as the commie colleges like to name classes, in reverse) may have traitors like boner and mcconnell treated like traitors and sent to N Korea or dumped in the ocean. They disgust me. The ‘Rats should get the same too.

Both Boehner and McConnell are clearly RINOs. Some might call them useful idiots of the liberal socialists elite. Some might call them worse. Eventually they will be thrown under the bus if conservatives and other members in the House and Senate do not oust them before the new session starts.

Let your representatives know they need to go and that you support new, more conservative, leadership. Do it while you can and we have the majority in both houses of congress.

True. The Liberal Jews care more about Gay Poodle Rights than the survival of Israel.

Obama is not popular in Israel but this holds true throughout the entire world. Not only is he disliked, more importantly, he is not respected. Moreover, he is seen as a rank amature on the world stage and a buffoon.

When the NORKS call him names, most nations agree, quietly.

So Israel is not alone but she has been the vicious target of the current administration since they came to the throne.

Israelis and others around the world are scratching their heads in disbelief asking one question: How could the American people elected this joke?

Lots of liberals using inappropriate apertures and parallel or third party equipment not conducive to reproduction.

The Orthodox Jews vote Republican. The largest Orthodox weekly in America, The Jewish Press endorsed George W. Bush for president even though Al Gore had a half decent, Jewish running mate.

Remember how important it was to vote for him to get reelected so there could be a GOP majority and we warned them this man woud betray them but they wouldn’t listen? I bet some of them have sore toes from kicking themselves in the a$$ since November...

Exactly. Since McConnell has worked tirelessly to defeat any opposition to Obama, he should be unpopular in Israel too. But since he talks a lot of crap, he fools a lot of people.

THe only question is whether they are merely Vichy Republicans or fully Quisling Republicans.
