Israel: Beware of Obama

NY Post ^ | March 22, 2015 | Michael Goodwin

[Mount Athos]

First he comes for the banks and health care, uses the IRS to go after critics, politicizes the Justice Department, spies on journalists, tries to curb religious freedom, slashes the military, throws open the borders, doubles the debt and nationalizes the Internet.

He lies to the public, ignores the Constitution, inflames race relations and urges Latinos to punish Republican “enemies.” He abandons our ­allies, appeases tyrants, coddles ­adversaries and uses the Crusades as an excuse for inaction as Islamist terrorists slaughter their way across the Mideast.

Now he’s coming for Israel.

Already paving the way for an Iranian nuke, he is hinting he’ll also let the other anti-Semites at Turtle Bay have their way. That could mean American support for punitive Security Council resolutions or for Palestinian statehood initiatives.

Whatever form the punishment takes, it will aim to teach Bibi Netanyahu never again to upstage him. And to teach Israeli voters never again to elect somebody Obama doesn’t like.

Apologists and wishful thinkers, including some Jews, insist Obama real­izes that the special relationship between Israel and the United States must prevail and that allowing too much daylight between friends will encourage enemies.

Those people are slow learners, or, more dangerously, deny-ists.

His visceral dislike for Netanyahu is genuine, but also serves as a convenient fig leaf for his visceral dislike of Israel. The fact that it’s personal with Netanyahu doesn’t explain six years of trying to bully Israelis into signing a suicide pact with Muslims bent on destroying them. Netanyahu’s only sin is that he puts his nation’s security first and refuses to knuckle ­under to Obama’s endless demands for unilateral concessions.

So on target.

Let’s face it—barely more than 7 years after 9/11, America surrendered and elected a POTUS who, 20 years earlier, would have been considered a security risk.

"Israel: Beware of Obama"

[Ebony]

I as a black conservative do not care if you dont trust blacks..this is in your heart and possibly upbringing. This site was not like this a few years ago

[Former Fetus]

[matthew fuller]

I didn’t say that I didn’t trust blacks. Don’t put words in my mouth.

[SaveFerris]

This will undoubtedly bear fruit (these actions).

And most of the world has no idea what is taking place before our very eyes.

“Once burned, twice shy” is an instinct embedded into all sentient beings. America experimented with its first black president and first black attorney general and was badly burned by both, the worst for America likely yet to come. It’s not certain this country can ever recover its Constitutional footing, which was Team Obama’s diabolical plan from the first day.

Obama once said he would be the last black president. It was a strange comment, as if he consciously destroyed the brand.

I was a big fan of Herman Cain during the primaries. Cain is a black conservative.

However, once burned, twice shy. I can’t see America accepting another black for the highest elected office, if only because of the tremendous difficulty in removing him. To make the point, what if Obama contracted rampant vitiligo. How much easier would it be to impeach him?

Thanks Mount Athos.

I was also a fan of the Hermanator, up until the time of his admission of making payments to his lady friend(s?). This time, I will support Dr. Carson, if he can achieve a competitive rating, which he has done so far. I prefer Cruz first, but it’s so early, anything can happen. But I do believe that obama and holder have tainted the well for future black candidates with a great many previously open minded voters.

Discussions on race have been opened up - which is a good thing even if uncomfortable at times. It's like a couple going for marriage counseling - the first steps toward being real with each other are painful... but it's part of the healing process.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I wonder that myself.

[null and void]

EVERYTHING obama does either:

a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.

There are NO counter examples.

I’m not sure who I hate the most....jug-ears or those who voted for him that only paid attention to their handouts including those that embrace communism.
