How bad has Barack Obama been for Israel? It depends how you look at it. There have been a few "warning signs" the appointment of Samantha Powers to a National Security Council position, and the week long stupidity with the Durban II planning meeting (the Chas Freeman affair was Dennis Blair's fault).
When it come to the "Peace Process" Obama has been relatively close to the second term of President Bush . Both had the Israeli/Palestinian conflict way too high on the priority list, and called for a Palestinian State. Each pushed for the end of settlements, both promised/gave nearly a billion dollars to the Palestinians (Bush's ended up in Hamas hands, Obama's will). Perhaps the biggest difference in the two administrations is under Bush the president was Caucasian and the Secretary of State was African-American under Obama its reversed.
The major shift between the two administrations is Iran. President Obama's decision to "engage" Iran is part of app

“Turned?” That implies that at one point they were “pro-”!
Turned?
Good!
Serves them right to be double crossed.

Congratulations to American jews on an impressive year in 2008; investing with Madoff and investing in Obama. Great job. Great judgement.
There have been several telling speeches by Obama, going back years, wherein he speaks of Palestinians as “we,” and Israelis as “they.” He hasn’t “turned” anything, he always has been.
ok... 7 weeks in orafice and let’s see what the ‘great uniter’ has done:
he has pissed off or on...
o n. korea
o russia
o european union
o canada
o great britian
o israel
i guess mexico will be next, unless the 0ne wants to just open the southern border (and since there has been a massive drop in border arrests, i guess that is the case)

Not a good analogy, not all American Jews voted for Obama (I campaigned against him) or invested with Madoff, also if the Jewish vote went against obama, he still would have won
“..not all American Jews voted for Obama....”
Yeah, and not all blacks did either. This is the typical liberal justification/cover. They use it when explaining their support for abortion, trumpeting the ‘instances of rape’ or ‘health of the mother in jeopardy’ when the number of times either situation exists is so rare as to be statistically insignificant.
What percentage of American Jews voted for Obama? I don’t want to hear what you did, tell me the overall percentage, because it is devastatingly one-sided and inexcusable. And the same with blacks, don’t tell me that you know of a couple blacks who didn’t vote for him, tell me the percentage.
Double-crossing Israel is so old-hat!
Reagan took two arabian horses, and nancy got $2-million in diamonds, delivered in a suitcase, from the saud’s; back during his second term. These payouts have bought most of the diplomatic corp. (To say nothing of what happened to both Bush’s, as they pushed military options, to benefit the saud’s. That didn’t.)
As to “diplomacy” ... which is all Hillary and Mitchell really have, you’d see Obama’s numbers NOW tanking.
Here is everything you never wanted to know about Samantha Powers from a 1 hour lecture in 2003. Go to the 26:15 mark to see what she thinks about America and it’s role in the international community. Her views are frightening.....
