Barack at the UN: Was this Obama’s most naïve speech ever?
telegraph.co.uk ^ | September 23, 2009 | Nile Gardiner

It’s always a bad sign when a US president gets several rounds of heavy applause at the UN General Assembly, as Barack Obama did this morning in New York. Needless to say, the loudest cheers from the gathering of world leaders came when he condemned the actions of a close US ally, Israel, in continuing to build settlements in the West Bank. You can always rely on attacks on the Israelis to generate the biggest roars of approval at any meeting of the United Nations, and Obama dutifully obliged.

Just amazing.

All of the time, blood, money and knowledge, spent over the last 75 years, to liberate the US and world—from the forces of tyranny. . All of the time and money (wisely spent) to build up this nations mighty nuclear arsenal, which has kept ALL of us warm and safe at night, knowing that they are “standing guard” over someone trying to “mess with the US”. All of the blood and expense trying to libetate Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait and such...and Obama tosses ALL of it out the WINDOW!!

O—go back to HELL from where you came!!

Nope, he is trying to start a war in the Middle East to (1)Make an excuse for pulling all our troops out. (2) Distract people at home from the failures of his healthcare, economic, energy, and environmental policies. This speech went a long way towards backing Israel into a corner from which they will either have to strike out in the next few months or be exterminated under a rain of Iranian nukes.

Spot on!

Wouldn’t you love to know the details of that time period? Who all was involved in creating this nightmare?

Naive or Knave? I lean towards the latter...

“This place is a target,” Kadafi said. “Perhaps America will be targeted by a rocket. We want to relieve America of this worry.”

Actually I agree with Kadafi on this. He is at the UN and he has been know to draw missiles from time to time

Someone please tell me when in the known history of the world there was ever a nation named Palestine?

When that area was a province of the Roman Empire, it was called Palaestina. When the British ruled that area as a mandate, they called it Palestine. So the name has been associated with that area for a long time. If you object to the name Palestine, what name do you think the Arabic-speaking population in that area should call itself?

I think most of the information is there, just the media never connected the dots... what I want to see is all the sealed transcripts from college... we know a Muslim Sheik paid for his tuition.

Obama’s message today to the members of the UN:

“Yes, a mighty nation CAN be brought down. With your help, I will accomplish that goal”

The WSJ last week queried as to why the ‘bama is pushing Israel to war. His clueless behavior may be pushing the world to war.

“Barack at the UN: Was this Obama’s most naïve speech ever?”

Since his TOTUS in a few short months have given so many, that is a difficult assignment.

It is not clueless behavior — he is a puppet for Soros and his ilk — the more you read, the more you understand that Farrenkhan, Ayers, Dohrn, Rathke, Soros, and a host of far left socialist/communist are behind Obama. Valerie Jarrett is the go between with these people and Obama. She got Jones in the Administration when a lot of people said no.

Before going any further, people need to look at his associates in Chicago and yes he was good friends with Ayers/Dohrn and Ayer’s Dad helped get him in Harvard Law and a job at the law firm where Michelle was working.

On an anti-American scale of 1-5, I give this one a 6.

Colon Bowel is awful quiet these days. Why I have not heard him shilling for Zero since November 2008. I wonder if he gave todays speech a standing ovation?

Prior to the establishment of the modern state of Israel, the area was called Palestine.
