Obama vs. Israel

Is Obama a Muslim? Does Obama hate Israel? Will Israel be attacked again? Will Iran nuke Israel? Has Maghreb and Middle Eastern turmoil flummoxed the White House? Why did Obama bow to Saudi Arabia’s king? Questions, questions, questions?

Watching President Barack Hussein Obama try to pick winners and losers in the Middle East would be amusing if it were not so deadly serious. Not a word about Syria’s slaughter of its protestors. A demand that Libya’s Gadhafi step aside and a quick retreat behind NATO’s skirts. Throwing Egypt’s Mubarack under the bus when saying nothing would have sufficed. And then there was the infamous and inauspicious start to his presidency with the “World Apology Tour” that included a stop in Cairo.

A May 11th Reuters news article published in the Jerusalem Post was titled “Obama may preempt PM’s speech to U.S. Congress.” Benyamin Netanyahu, at the invitation of Speaker John Boehner, will address the Congress on May 24. If President Obama delivers a speech about “political change in the Middle East and North Africa” prior to the PM, it will be impossible to deny that it is a deliberate effort to rebut in advance anything Netanyahu says.

Well, we know he sips beer. Of course, it is allowable for a good Moslem to fool the infidel by adopting his habits. Let’s send him a kielbasa and see if we get a thank you note.

It's okay for a president to be clueless as long as he is surrounded by bright people. Obama has mostly appointed the weak and the corrupt.

Exactly.

Or, lest we be accused of pulling a "Jew trick" on him, we could enlist the Germans instead, next time he visits Europe, to plunk down a plate of Eisbein in front of him and see what he does. Let's see if he insults the national delicacy of Germany.
