Pelosi: President Obama's Been to Israel Over and Over Again William Kristol July 28, 2012 10:43 AM
Daniel Halper has called attention to Nancy Pelosi's remarkable interview with Al Hunt on the topic of Barack Obama and Israel. I'd note one comment in particular: Pelosi's claim that President Obama "has been there [Israel] over and over again."
Wow. I'm involved with the Emergency Committee for Israel. We have an ad up in several states calling attention to the fact that President Obama, who's been quite the world traveler, has never visited Israel as president. Did we make a terrible mistake? Were we unjust to President Obama? Do we have to pull down the ad?
No, no, and no. Contrary to Pelosi's apparent claim, President Obama hasn't been to Israel over and over again. He's never been as president, which is certainly what Pelosi implied. Well, maybe he visited Israel "over and over" before becoming president, and that's what Pelosi meant to say? No. When he was senator, Obama went on two trips to Israel, once with several other freshmen members of Congress, and then as a presidential candidate. And he'd never been interested enough in Israel to visit as a private citizen. So much for the notion that Obama's been "over and over again."
So Pelosi is wrong, and the Emergency Committee is right. But Pelosi's resort to a whopper to try to reassure pro-Israel voters does suggest how worried Democrats must be about the reaction to Obama's attempt to create distance between his administration and Israel, as Obama's Israel policy gets more scrutiny.
You realize what Pelosi looks like to ET's, right?
Think about it. Imagine you have a few extra arms, green skin, and an eye in the middle of your forehead, and you travel billions of miles at warp speed and come here, and go into orbit, and then tune in CNN.
And there's Pelosi. And you realize she's a high political figure, and has the support of millions, and your forehead eye bulges out and you leap for the transmogrification zapifier and the other Klandozoids have to drag you away from the control panel before you vaporize earth.
And people wonder why the ETs never announce themselves!
Remember, Its what is in their feelings. They feel zer0 has been there, So he has.
Hmmmmmm...similar to the faux prophet Mohammad, wherein he just dreamed (felt) he flew on a flying horse to Jerusalem....therefore 'they' feel he had been...so he had.
So what she is trying to imply, is that Obama has been for them over and over again. He just has not been with them over and over again. This is a hardcore Marxist brainwashing tactic. Definitely did not come from Pelosi. They are implying that being for someone is as good as being with someone. Unfortunately she did not list all those times Obama has been against Israel (delaying Iran action, creating chaos in Syria, not selling F22, etc. etc.). Far more then he has been for Israel. And I think we can all agree that being against someone is not the same as being with someone.
“Pelosi: President Obama’s Been to Israel Over and Over Again”
That is NOT what she said...and kristol needs to retract what HE said because it is dishonest and unnecessary. We all know where pelosi and i-bama stand on Israel without resorting to distortions.
kristol is going to get called on this.
Exactly. And there was no earthly need for kristol to embellish what she said. It was already ridiculous as it stood.
