The only thing surprising about Barack Obama's latest blow against Israel is that there are people who are surprised. As for a Palestinian homeland, that was never a big issue when the Arabs controlled that land, up to 1967. Obama's declaration that Israel must give up the land it acquired, after neighboring countries threatened its survival in 1967, is completely consistent with both his ideology of many years and his previous actions as President of the United States. Whether as a radical student, a community organizer or a far left politician, Barack Obama's ideology has been based on a vision of the Haves versus the Have Nots. However complex the ramifications of this ideology, and however clever the means by which Obama has camouflaged it, that is what it has amounted to. No wonder he was moved to tears when the Reverend Jeremiah Wright summarized that ideology in a thundering phrase "white folks' greed runs a world in need." Israel is one of the Haves. Its neighbors remain among the Have Nots, despite their oil. No wonder that Barack Obama has bent over backward, in addition to bowing low forward, to support the side that his ideology favors. Whether at home or abroad, Obama's ideology is an ideology of envy, resentment and payback. Israel is not simply to have its interests sacrificed and its security undermined. It is to be brought down a peg and to the extent politically possible insulted. Obama has already done all these things. His latest pronouncement is just more of the same. One of the first acts of Barack Obama as president was to send money to the Palestinians, money that can be used to buy rockets to fire into Israel, irrespective of the rationale for the money. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. A photograph that should tell us a lot about Barack Obama shows him on the phone, talking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Obama was seated, leaning back in his chair, with his feet up on the desk, and the soles of his feet pointed directly at the camera. In the Middle East, showing the soles of your feet is an insult, as Obama undoubtedly knows. This photograph was no accident. Photographers cannot roam around White House, willy-nilly, taking snapshots of the President of the United States as he talks to leaders of foreign nations. It was a photograph with a message. No one would have known who was on the other end of the line, unless Obama wanted them to know and wanted to demonstrate his disdain. Prime Minister Netanyahu's visits to the White House have been unlike previous Israeli leaders' visits to the White House, and certainly unlike the pomp and circumstance accompanying other nations' leaders' visits to the White House over the years. After one of his meetings with Netanyahu, Barack Obama simply told the prime minister that he was going upstairs to have dinner. You wouldn't say that to an ordinary neighbor visiting in your home, without inviting him to join you. Obama knew that. Netanyahu knew that. It was a calculated insult. And the American public would have heard about it, if so much of the media didn't have such a hear-no-evil, see-no-evil and speak-no-evil attitude in its coverage of Barack Obama. Visits to the White House by prime ministers of Britain our oldest and staunchest ally have likewise been downplayed and Obama's visit to the Queen of England was likewise conducted without the respect normally shown to a monarch. One of Obama's first acts upon reaching the White House was to return to the British embassy a bust of Winston Churchill, the most eminent statesman in Britain's history. All of this is consistent with Obama's general approach to foreign policy selling out our allies to curry favor with our adversaries. He flew to Moscow, shortly after taking office, to renege on the American commitment to put a missile shield in Eastern Europe, in hopes of getting a deal with the Russians. Obama is politically savvy enough to know how to get his point across without blowing his cover. The fate of the United States of America may depend on how savvy we the people are in seeing what he is doing and how soon, before the situation becomes irretrievable. |
Great article!
And the philosophy of those who support him from the laziest most irresponsible welfare recipient to the fat cat trial lawyer. ENVY and RESENTMENT of those who actually labored for their money drives their thoughts.
Thanks for the ping jaz. Dr. Sowell nails the Street Punk in Chief once again. He knew exactly what he was doing with the shoes on the desk facing the camera every bit as much as the Street Punk he is knew what he was doing with that middle finger on numerous occasions.
He’s just a punk. A Chicago Street Punk turned Community Organizer, picked up by Criminals, and trained to be their
“Yes Man”. He plays golf when he doesn’t have a priority on his Blackberry from his Criminal bosses is the way I see it.

True that!
Barry is a radical Muslim who hates Israel and the United States.
Barry is using the US Military to put Al Qaeda in power in Libya.
Barry is spending $Billions to put the Muslim Brotherhood in power in Egypt.
Egypt, Libya, Iran and Syria against Israel. Barry is drooling at the thought of that epic battle.
Barry is doing everything he can to hurt America from restriction oil drilling to opening borders, from spending $Trillions on “stimulus” that stimulated nothing but his union corruption to ignoring the law with every chance that presents itself..
Liberalism to a T.
Which is just what he did yesterday, Memorial Day. His 70th game so far. Just imagine if this was Pres. Bush.
Should be required reading, before it’s too late.
This would be the desk made from the timbers of the Resolute? He had his FEET on it?
I’ve seen the pic and it’s pathetic, even for him.
I googled it and unfortunately, so did Bush. What is WRONG with people that they don’t know better than to put their feet on a gift from a Head of State (Queen Vic) of such historical significance?
From a recent Rush monologue:
Obama chose Palestinians over Israelis. Obama is essentially demanding that Israel commit suicide. Netanyahu says Im not gonna commit suicide. People say Netanyahu was rude when he refuses to commit suicide.
Obama chose Palestinians over Israelis. He did it after learning that Hamas became a part of the Palestinian ruling class, the terrorist group.
Obama chose the Muslim Brotherhood over freedom when he invited them to his Cairo speech and when he endorsed the misnamed Arab Spring without reservations or conditions. We know now whats happening in Egypt.
Obama chose lawlessness and open borders over protecting innocent citizens when he sued Arizona.
Obama chose voter intimidation over civil rights when he chose not to prosecute the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia.
Obama chose the public sector over the private sector with his stimulus slush fund.
Obama chose socialism over the private sector when he took over two US car companies.
Obama chose a path to socialized medicine over free market solutions to health care when he signed Obamacare into law.
Obama chose true cowboyism over Congress when fighting a war on Khadafy and Libya, ignoring the War Powers Act by saying, well, were not really all in.
Obama chose czars over cabinet members.
He chose class warfare over prosperity when he demagogued taxing the rich over cutting out-of-control spending.
He chose politics over solutions when he failed to produce a budget or demand one from Congress.
Its clear who Obama is. Hes the sum of his choices.
We all are.
