Friday Political Grab Bag: Obama To Israel, Iran - 'I Don't Bluff'

President Obama tells both Israel and Iran through an interview with The Atlantic that "as president of the United States, I don't bluff," when he leaves open the possibility of a U.S. military strike against Iran's nuclear program. Obama made the comments shortly before a scheduled meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, during which he will stress there's no need for an Israeli attack on Iran, and an appearance before AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby. It also occurs during an election year when the votes of Jewish Americans could be crucial in Florida and elsewhere.

First of all, Obama' middle east policy is already an abject failure. Delays on troop increases, announced withdrawal dates, attacking Israel over building in her own capital, insisting on the pre-1967 borders, apologizing for Koran burnings, I could go on....

And by the way, Iran should NEVER HAVE GOTTEN this far. Israel has every right to kick Iran's ass...and they don't need your permission, O'Bambi.

"as president of the United States, I don't bluff,"

"but I lie like a cheap muslim prayer rug"

Once again he’s trying to show strength by taking a solid stand on both sides of an issue.

I don’t believe for a minute that Obama would militarily strike Iran.

I do believe he’d strike Israel given the chance if Israel strikes Iran.

Stand with Israel!

All that obama has is a bluff... biggest pu$$y ever to become president.

"I'm tuff and I don't bluff - right honey?"

"Stop your prattling and stay off my heels."

Only a dummy would pick a fight with Israel over Obama...Obama’s ass is ripe for kicking. Israel does’t bluff, they bomb and no one can prove they did it when they are done...

The question is: Who is he going to strike

Iran, or Israel???

[SaraJohnson]

He has not bluffed. He is 100% on the side of radical Islam in it’s war against the west, the US and Israel.

Israel should not be trusting that guy after they have seen him abet the Muslim Brotherhood to take over the governments surrounding Israel in the name of “democracy.”

Watch what he does; not what he says. When facing genocide, whatever is best for Israel, Israel must do. Obama is not trustworthy governing his own Nation. He’s a racist and a traitor.

I’m not bluffing. Keep it up and I’ll apologize some more with a large bouquet to follow. Puleeeeeze. Playing Mr Tuff Guy? (Of course maybe that’s why Chuck Norris stays away.) I can almost see the slap fight now.

Obama already demonstrated he does not understand the concept of bluffing when he told Congress “don’t call my bluff”.

Israel, what ever you do don’t believe a word he says. Please do what you must and don’t rely on him for anything but subterfuge.
