Bolton Reacts to Obama Speech Says he "Put Israel on the Chopping Block" and was "Unpresidential"
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | September 23, 2009 | Michael

Here is video of John Bolton and Megyn Kelly talking about Obama's speech to the United Nations today.

John Bolton said "I think he's put Israel on the chopping block, I don't think there's ever been a speech by an American President at the United Nations that was so critical of Israel." Bolton also said "I've never seen an American president give a speech at the united nations that spent so much time contrasting his administration with the previous administration," and called it "a speech more designed for an American audience than an international audience." Bolton was "struck by how personal and unpresidential it was." (Video)

The current President is dysfunctional on many levels and is IMO a racist based on who he surrounds himself with and his appointments.

This guy is a disaster. He hates our country and our way of life. I can’t believe we elected him. I don’t believe he can be reelected.

I fear that he doesn't think he doesn't think reelection will be necessary.

Obama stated that national sovereignty is the reason the world suffers from wars, etc. A one world government is what he seeks and that cannot happen unless he destroys America.

Wonder how Jews who voted for him feel now.

We called this one last week. It's a rock-star glamor speech that puts 0bama's international celebrity at a premium and his country a very distant second place.

What Bush did that was so unforgivable to this gaggle of con men was not to ignore them. He spent some 14 months arranging UN resolutions for the Iraq invasion. What he did that infuriated them was to refuse to allow them a collective veto on U.S. foreign policy. These folks consider themselves a rightful world government, accountable to nobody, and 0bama's internationalist idealism is running up against his own tendency to insist on personal power. Will he cede them this veto power? Not a chance if it reduces his own.

In fact, the only thing less than that he feels he can grant them is to throw Israel to the pack. Too bad they want more than that. A lot more.

Will Obama order Israeli planes flying over Iraq be shot down?

Did anyone see the reaction from the Israeli delegation seated at the UN? Fill me in if you did - for I didn’t. Not a good speech for encouraging “peace talks” IMO.

He certainly could. Zbigniew Brzezinski recommended it and couched it in terms of revenge for the Liberty, a rather cynical formulation, IMHO, inasmuch as that was some 42 years ago and nobody on the Dem side of the house seems to have given a rip up to now.

The difficulty is that Israel absolutely could place the U.S. on a wartime basis by precipitating such an attack unilaterally. Iran has already declared an intention to close the Straits of Hormuz in that eventuality, which would mean the U.S. Navy would be obliged to open them up again. The effect on oil prices would be severe and we'd be in a shooting war, neither of which is remotely in 0bama's interest or that of the Democratic party. I'm leaving out U.S. interests largely because nobody on that side of the aisle appears to be thinking about them very much these days. So the bottom line is that 0bama is going to feel pressure to order precisely such an action to the cheers of the arab world and the internationalists in the UN. They're cheering for that even as I type this. What a world.
