US warns against PM’s idea of revoking residency for some Jerusalem Arabs
The Times of Israel ^ | 10/26/15 | Raoul Wootliff

Posted on 10/26/2015 12:54:31 PM PDT by Nachum

The Obama administration on Monday hurried to express its opposition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s tentative talk of revoking the permanent residency status of tens of thousands of Arabs living in East Jerusalem.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that, as far as the US government knows, Israel is not actively considering such a move. But if it were, he said, “it would obviously be of some concern to us.” The US, Earnest went on, reiterates the “importance of all sides avoiding provocative actions and rhetoric.”

Netanyahu discussed the idea in vague terms at a Knesset committee meeting earlier Monday, as part of possible measures aimed at halting an ongoing spate of terror attacks.

In his first appearance at the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee of the Knesset winter sitting, Netanyahu said he was planning on touring East Jerusalem with other cabinet members to explore the issue further

Seems like a perfectly reasonable solution to me. Obviously, Obama prefers that Israel not do anything to stop his Muslim friends from killing Jews.

“it would obviously be of some concern to us.”

Why is that, Josh? I don't think it's obvious at all.

GOP have given the Tyrant Power to destroy America
and other countries ... every single day. Today, too.

“. But if it were, he said, “it would obviously be of some concern to us.””

I don’t get it. Did Israel lose a war to the US,
and is now some sort of vassal state? Is that
what happens when someone gets foreign aid from
us? I don’t see the US government trying to
direct specific domestic policy measures of
other aid recipients.

Obama treats Israel like
an American school district obliged to honor
his every ukase, just because they get some
federal money. And then he courts Israel’s
deadliest enemies.

Bizarro World’s got
nothing on today’s lunacies.

A good and decent answer would have been somethng like, “That’s Israels business to determine.”
Instead, we get this pathetic leftist “concern”

Doesn’t Obama have some amber stains to sniff or some thick oily neck and broad back to attend to somewhere else?

Pop

Sitting in his seat, a seat broad and broken
In, sprinkled with ashes,
Pop switches channels, takes another
Shot of Seagrams, neat, and asks
What to do with me, a green young man
Who fails to consider the
Flim and flam of the world, since
Things have been easy for me;
I stare hard at his face, a stare
That deflects off his brow;
I’m sure he’s unaware of his
Dark, watery eyes, that
Glance in different directions,
And his slow, unwelcome twitches,
Fail to pass.
I listen, nod,
Listen, open, till I cling to his pale,
Beige T-shirt, yelling,
Yelling in his ears, that hang
With heavy lobes, but he’s still telling
His joke, so I ask why
He’s so unhappy, to which he replies . . .
But I don’t care anymore, cause
He took too damn long, and from
Under my seat, I pull out the
Mirror I’ve been saving; I’m laughing,
Laughing loud, the blood rushing from his face
To mine, as he grows small,
A spot in my brain, something
That may be squeezed out, like a
Watermelon seed between
Two fingers.
Pop takes another shot, neat,
Points out the same amber
Stain on his shorts that I’ve got on mine and
Makes me smell his smell, coming
From me; he switches channels, recites an old poem
He wrote before his mother died,
Stands, shouts, and asks
For a hug, as I shink, my
Arms barely reaching around
His thick, oily neck, and his broad back; ‘cause
I see my face, framed within
Pop’s black-framed glasses
And know he’s laughing too.”

— Barack Obama

It’s beginning to look like having a Republican back in the White House won’t be enough to right the damage Obama has done to the ship of state. What we’re seeing now has the stuff of permanence.

Oh, gimme-dat voters, what have you wrought?

And here is Obama writing
in an autobiographical mode.

UNDERGROUND

Under water grottos, caverns
Filled with apes
That eat figs.
Stepping on the figs
That the apes
Eat, they crunch.
The apes howl, bare
Their fangs, dance,
Tumble in the
Rushing water,
Musty, wet pelts
Glistening in the blue.

I’ve always been interested in these poems. They certainly underscores what a profoundly bizarre person the POTUS is.

It will be a miracle if Israel survives the next 15 months of Obama.

“It will be a miracle if Israel survives the next 15 months of Obama.”

Yes, but not unexpected.

Apply Psalm 2 to unsightly worldly oppressors.

Obama renounced HIS US citizenship

That is my leading theory also. He might have actually been born in Hawaii (although maybe not), but I think it is highly likely that he renounced his citizenship when he was adopted by the Indonesian muslim (his mother's swarthy flavor of the month at the time). He probably attended University on a foreign citizen scholarship -- thus his preemptive sealing of his passport information (the staged break-in of the passport records in 2007 - which then caused his passport info to be sealed), and his unprecedented Executive edict to seal all of his educational records.
