(Reuters) - President Barack Obama cited the "ruthless" suicide bus attack in Bulgaria and upheaval in Syria as reasons to fortify support for Israel, telling a re-election campaign event in Florida on Thursday he stood by Israel's side.

Departing from his normal stump-speech themes of tax fairness, education and healthcare, the Democratic president described the Bulgaria airport bus bombing that killed five Israeli tourists as "barbaric" and a "ruthless terrorist attack."

"I want everybody here to know under my administration, we haven't just preserved the unbreakable bond with Israel, we have strengthened it," Obama told a mainly older audience in Florida, an electoral battleground state with many Jewish voters.

Brought to you by his friends in Michganistan.

Did anyone else notice how dejected he looked when the 09 Christmas day underwear bomber failed?

By Israel’s side? So Israel should *really* worry about a knife in the kidneys?

(Repost something I wrote on another site.)

Does anybody wonder what if?

What if those tourists in Bulgaria hit by targeted bombing are Americans?

What would be Obama’s moves?

He’s got some contorted brain: believing that a STRONG Mudslim Brotherhood leads to a strong Israel.

No kidding. Dope. Its been nothing short of blatant anti-Isreali policy out of this administration. What a joke.

Barack the Kenyan may have screwed around with and threatened Israel during his entire first term, however, now that the campaign season has kicked into gear, Barry is Israel’s BFF. There are way too many morons living on this planet.
