He makes no apologies for pursuing the policies of Islamic Jihad. Honestly, I can’t understand the depravity of these MSM and Democrat sychopants that think this Halfrican Muslim is going to do them any good. He wants to convert them to Islam or enslave/kill them.

Peace and safety ! While people are saying, Peace and safety
destruction will come on them suddenly,
as labor pains on a pregnant woman,
and they will not escape.

I was there about 25% of us were not too taken by his words. He put a lot of red meat out there. But the winds will change next week after AIPAC.

He’s running for re-election, so he’s pretending to care about Israel.

He can’t apologize for something he hasn’t done or doesn’t feel.
The only thing the constant campaigner has pursued is the destruction of America.

US President Barack Obama said Sunday that he "make[s] no apologies for pursuing peace" between Israelis and Palestinians. Israel's own leaders, he said, understand the importance of peace.@Here are President Obama's prepared remarks to AIPAC's policy conference this morning.
Of course, there are those who question not my security and diplomatic commitments, but my Administrations ongoing pursuit of peace between Israelis and Palestinians. So let me say this: I make no apologies for pursuing peace. Israels own leaders understand the necessity of peace. Prime Minister Netanyahu, Defense Minister Barak, and President Peres each of them have called for two states, a secure Israel that lives side by side with an independent Palestinian state.
Speaking at the AIPAC Conference in Washington, the US president said he believes "peace is profoundly in Israel's security interests."
I believe that peace is profoundly in Israels security interest. The reality that Israel faces from shifting demographics, to emerging technologies, to an extremely difficult international environment demands a resolution of this issue. And I believe that peace with the Palestinians is consistent with Israels founding values because of our shared belief in self-determination; and because Israels place as a Jewish and democratic state must be protected.
"I have kept my commitments to the State of Israel," he said. "At every crucial juncture, at every fork in the road, we have been there for Israel every single time."
AIPACs work continually nurtures this bond. And because of AIPACs effectiveness in carrying out its mission, you can expect that over the next few days, you will hear many fine words from elected officials describing their commitment to the U.S.-Israel relationship. But as you examine my commitment, you dont just have to count on my words. You can look at my deeds. Because over the last three years, as President of the United States, I have kept my commitments to the state of Israel. At every crucial juncture at every fork in the road we have been there for Israel. Every single time.

Again the word “peace” is substituted for “surrender”.

US President Barack Obama said Sunday that he "make[s] no apologies for pursuing peace" between Israelis and Palestinians. Israel's own leaders, he said, understand the importance of peace. As the saying goes, you cant un-ring a bell. One suspects that Mister Obamas true feelings about Israel have been aptly demonstrated by the actions of his and also his buddies.
Can we forget that Prime Minister Netanyahu was snubbed by Mister Obama's childish and undignified behavior? At least it apparently illustrated his true feelings toward Israel.
But wait, theres more. How about Obamas (alleged) BFF Bill Ayers association with the Free Gaza Movement?
I suspect that Mister Obama fools few with the gratuitous overture, and what precisely does he mean by "peace"?

No surprise that the Kowtower-in-Chief will present the Medal of Freedom to Shimon Peres, consumate pacifist and the precise opposite of Benjamin Netanyahu who should be getting the medal instead.
Shimon Peres is first cousin to actress Lauren Bacall (nee Betty Perske)......a consumate leftist, pacifist, anti-McCarthyite, speech giver for Adlai Stevenson and later, Robert Kennedy.
In 2005 she described herself as "anti-Republican" and went on to say, "the best thing on earth is being a liberal. You do not have a small mind."

Our esteemed Pres**ent has said that he makes no apologies for pursuing peace.
That would be fine if he wasn't so ardently pursuing surrender.
