"I'm going to end bipartisan bickering in Washington"

"I'm going to have the most ethical administration in History"

"I will have transparency on all bills and you'll be able to view all bills before I sign them"

"I will restore fiscal responsibility"

"I will not increase taxes for those earning less than $ 250,000"

"I will close Gitmo"

and

"I'LL BRING BACK INTERNATIONAL RESPECT"

the POTUS that was going to end racial tensions and make the black man see he's really on equal footing with the white man is actually race baiting to boot.


WOW

not even I saw this train wreck happening so fast

This can’t good? For the socialists, probably not. But if you’re a free enterprise, small government, less taxes conservative, fuckin A it’s good. All that needs to done is keep feeding BO more and more rope and eventfully he’ll
:hanging: himself.

I knew he was a rookie but I didn’t realize he was rookie with zero talent. I’m amused at the quick meltdown that is occurring and I can’t wait for his next prime time propaganda conference.

What will be even better is when he does fold, watching the spin masters here explaining why it wasn’t his fault.

My guess is GWB will have caused it. :laugh:

Willie I wouldn't make a big deal of this. Israel is a Center-Left country with 2-3 % extremists in both directions.

The extremists on both sides are vocal, and there is some form of protest going on every week. The government of Israel allows it provided there is no violence as it's a very open society.

Last month there was a protest in downtown Jerusalem by 400 Orthodox because a parking lot opened on a Saturday that had previously never opened on a Saturday. Jews are not supposed to drive on the Sabbath and the Ultra-Orthodox do not.

Now what's REALLY going on of IMPORTANCE in the M-East?

Gaza Campers Stage Abduction of Israeli Soldier - Yaakov Katz (Jerusalem Post)

Children in Hamas summer camps reenacted the abduction of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit in the presence of top Hamas officials, according to pictures obtained by the Jerusalem Post.

More than 120,000 Palestinian children are spending the summer in Hamas-run camps. In addition to religious studies, the children undergo semi-military training with toy guns.

PA's Dahlan: Arafat Deceived the World - Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook (Palestinian Media Watch-IMRA)

PA (Fatah) Member of Parliament Muhammad Dahlan told PA TV on July 22 that Yasser Arafat was deceiving the world when he condemned Palestinian terror.

"Arafat would condemn [terror] operations by day while at night he would do honorable things." Dahlan said this in the context of defending the use of Palestinian terror, which he called a "legal right."
-------------------------

Hamas Tunneling Near UN Facilities in Gaza - Yaakov Katz
Hamas is digging tunnels next to UN facilities in Gaza under the assumption that the IDF will not target them during a future conflict, defense officials warned on Sunday. A tunnel adjacent to a UN school in Beit Hanun collapsed earlier this month, causing damage inside the school. (Jerusalem Post)
---------------------

IDF: Hizbullah Has Rebuilt Arms Stockpiles in Southern Lebanon - Amos Harel (Ha'aretz)

Senior IDF officers believe that Hizbullah has completely rebuilt its network of bunkers and arms stockpiles in southern Lebanon, but has located them almost entirely inside Shi'ite villages rather than in open areas, as in the past.

The defense establishment is very concerned about the possibility of a serious incident on the Lebanese border, but believes that Hizbullah is more likely to try to strike Israeli targets abroad.

It's all good Willie. Hey, we have it good over here, politics aside. Israel as well. There are no protests in Uzbekistan. That's because it's govenment policy to boil dissenters in oil. So by comparison......... :)

Anti Obama Rally in Jerusalem

Anti-Obama Rally in Jerusalem


by Hillel Fendel
Follow Israel news on and .
<script>if (sLinkData != "") document.write("Edit
");</script>
(IsraelNN.com) For the first time in years, the nationalist camp will hold a large scale rally against United States policies vis-à-vis Israel.
The protest will be held in downtown Jerusalem, on Agron St. on Monday evening, and is being organized by the Residents Committees of Binyamin and Samaria, as well as the nationalist umbrella organization Mateh Maamatz, the Yesha Council of Jewish Communities, and Komemiyut.

Knesset Members and others representing various parties, including the Likud, will speak.
“Not since the days of [U.S. Secretary of State Henry] Kissinger has there been such a protest against American policies,” said MK Yaakov Katz (Ketzaleh), chairman of the National Union party. “The pressure that Barack Hussein Obama is exerting against us to simply stop growing and stop living will not work.”
The Obama administration has made it clear that Israel must stop building of all types throughout Judea and Samaria (Yesha), as well as in parts of Israel’s capital city that were liberated during the Six Day War of 1967.
In addition, hints have been dropped that American action against Iran depends on a cessation of Israeli construction in Yesha.
No fewer than four top American officials are visiting Israel this week, presumably bringing uniform diplomatic messages in the above spirit from President Obama. The four are special U.S. envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell, who landed in Israel on Sunday after a short visit in Damascus; Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who arrived on Monday and has already met with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu; and National Security Advisor James Jones and White House Iranian affairs expert Dennis Ross who are scheduled to meet later in the week with Netanyahu.
The slogan for Monday’s demonstration, and the message to Obama and his envoys, is, "Yes to Israeli Independence, No to American Dictates!"
A torchlight walk will begin at 6:30 pm at Paris/Jonathan Pollard Square, near the Prime Minister's Office, and go down Agron St. towards the U.S. consulate.
MK Katz quoted the official figures released by the Central Bureau of Statistics today, indicating nearly 305,000 Israelis in Yesha, at a growth rate some three times higher than the rest of the country.
“If this is the official figure,” Katz said, “then we can assume that there are really close to 350,000 people, because of all those who have not changed their official addresses, and outposts, and the like. Together with the nearly 300,000 people in the new Jerusalem neighborhoods, this means that Barack Hussein Obama is telling well over 600,000 Jews that they must all stop having children and buildings and going to the store and sending their children to school and building roads and, in short, to stop growing. This is the type of decree that our worst enemies decreed against us, always accompanied by their Jewish advisors. But just as they did not succeed, the same will be with Obama.”
Land of Israel pioneers have begun their two-day blitz to establish 11 new settlement sites throughout Judea and Samaria. In at least one case – Netzer, in Gush Etzion – security forces arrived on the scene and rebuffed their attempt. Activists at the site said they would resume the building within a matter of hours.

Willie on second thought you may be right. Obama is losing Israeli support. This was published by Aluf Benn in the Lefty Israeli paper Haaretz and republished in Monday's NY Times:

By ALUF BENN
Published: July 27, 2009
TEL AVIV

IN his global tours and TV appearances, President Obama has spoken to Arabs, Muslims, Iranians, Western Europeans, Eastern Europeans, Russians and Africans. His words have stirred emotions and been well received everywhere.

But he hasn’t bothered to speak directly to Israelis.

And the effect? Six months into his presidency, Israelis find themselves increasingly suspicious of Mr. Obama. All they see is American pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to freeze settlements, a request that’s been interpreted here as political arm-twisting meant to please the Arab street at Israel’s expense — or simply to express the president’s dislike for Mr. Netanyahu.

This would seem counterproductive, given the importance the president has placed on resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. If Israel is part of the problem, it’s also part of the solution. Yet so far, neither the president nor any senior administration official has given a speech or an interview aimed at an Israeli audience, beyond brief statements made at diplomatic photo ops.

The Arabs got the Cairo speech; we got silence.

This policy of ignoring Israel carries a price. Though Mr. Obama has succeeded in prodding Mr. Netanyahu to accept the idea of a Palestinian state alongside Israel, he has failed to induce Israel to impose a freeze on settlements. In fact, he has failed even to stir debate about the merits of one: no Israeli political figure has stood up to Mr. Netanyahu and begged him to support Mr. Obama; not even the Israeli left, desperate for a new agenda, has adopted Mr. Obama as its icon.

As a result, Mr. Netanyahu enjoys a virtual domestic consensus over his rejection of the settlement freeze. Moreover, he has succeeded in portraying Mr. Obama as a shaky ally. In Mr. Netanyahu’s narrative, the president has fallen under the influence of top aides — in this case Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod — whom the prime minister has called “self-hating Jews.” Meanwhile, Mr. Netanyahu is the defender of national glory in face of unfair pressure, someone who sticks to the first commandment of Israeli culture: thou shalt never be the freier (that is, the dupe).

So far, Israelis have embraced Mr. Netanyahu’s message. A Jerusalem Post poll of Israeli Jews last month indicated that only 6 percent of those surveyed considered the Obama administration to be pro-Israel, while 50 percent said that its policies are more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israeli. Less scientifically: Israeli rightists have — in columns, articles and public statements — taken to calling the president by his middle name, Hussein, as proof of his pro-Arab tendencies.

What went wrong? Several explanations come to mind.

First, in the 16 rosy years of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Israelis became spoiled by unfettered presidential attention. Memories of State Department “Arabists” leading American policy in the Middle East were erased. The White House coordinated its policy with Jerusalem, and stayed out of the way when Israel embarked on controversial military offensives in Lebanon and Gaza. This approach infuriated America’s Arab and European allies, which blamed Washington for one-sidedness — something they were willing to forgive of Bill Clinton but not of George W. Bush.

Mr. Obama came to office determined to repair America’s broken alliances in Europe and the Middle East. One way to do this — to prove that he was the opposite of his predecessor — was to place some distance between Israel and himself.

Second, Mr. Obama’s quest for diplomacy has appeared to Israelis as dangerous American naïveté. The president offered a hand to the Iranians, and got nothing, merely giving them more time to advance their nuclear program. In Israeli eyes, he was humiliated by North Korea’s nuclear and missile tests. And he failed to move Arab governments to take steps to normalize relations with Israel. Conclusion: Mr. Obama is a softie, eager to please his listeners and avoid confrontation with anyone who is not Mr. Netanyahu.

Third, Mr. Obama seems to have confused American Jews with Israelis. We are close emotionally and politically, but we are different. We speak Hebrew and not English, we live in the Middle East and have separate historical narratives. Mr. Obama’s stop at Buchenwald and his strong rejection of Holocaust denial, immediately after his Cairo speech, appealed to American Jews but fell flat in Israel. Here we are taught that Zionist determination and struggle — not guilt over the Holocaust — brought Jews a homeland. Mr. Obama’s speech, which linked Israel’s existence to the Jewish tragedy, infuriated many Israelis who sensed its closeness to the narrative of enemies like Mahmoud Ahmedinejad.

Fourth, as far as most Israelis are concerned, Mr. Obama has made a mistake in focusing on a settlement freeze. For starters, mainstream Israelis rarely have anything to do with the settlements; many have no idea where they are, even when they’re a half-hour’s drive from Tel Aviv.

More important: in the past decade, repeated peace negotiations and diplomatic statements have indicated that larger, closer-to-home settlements (the “settlement blocs”) will remain in Israeli hands under any two-state solution. Why, then, insist on a total freeze everywhere? And why deny with such force — as the administration did — the existence of previous understandings between the United States and Israel over limited settlement construction? There is simply too much evidence proving that such an understanding existed. To Israelis, the claim undermined Mr. Obama’s credibility — and strengthened Mr. Netanyahu’s position.

Perhaps there are good reasons behind Mr. Obama’s Middle East policy. Perhaps the settlement freeze is in Israel’s best interest. Perhaps the president is truly committed to Israel’s long-term security and well-being. Perhaps his popularity in the Arab street is the missing ingredient of peacemaking.

But until the president talks to us, we won’t know. Next time you’re in the neighborhood, Mr. President, speak to us directly. We will surely listen.

If Israel is against him he must be doing a good job. I know they don't want anybody ruining that good thing they have going, you know...the occupation, bombing, killing, demoralizing and so on.

I say whatever Israel hates, do more of it.

this one now bashing the only successful and free and prosperous nation in the region, the nation that has tens of thousands of Muslims living in peace and prosperous within it's borders, while he evidently condones the actions of terrorist organizations that exist to destroy Israel.

the charters of both Hamas and Hezbollah both state that Israel must be destroyed, and Arafat never wanted peace, lest his financing from Iran gets cut off.

Do I need to post links to bring you up to speed on this topic too?

I'm up to speed with that region. I have contacts over there and had an acquaintance who was from Israel. She went back many times to fight for the liberation of Palestinian women.

The groups hell bent on destroying Israel are angry at that whole stealing land and occupying their people thing. I'm not sure why they get all bent out of shape. I guess if a group of people with no recognized state came into your region of America, kicked you out of your home, set up check points for you to get to and from work and stole all your clean drinking water you'd say they were nice people. Let me come on over and give a small sample size in your house. The check point will be in between the kitchen and bathroom, oh yeah, I may just kill your kid for the hell of it.

Israel stole no land and occupies no one.

Looks like you suck a whole hell of a lot more than baseball.
