President Obama will visit Israel in second term, says campaign aide
The Hill ^ | 7/23/2012 | Justin Sink

Posted on 08/01/2012 2:59:43 AM PDT by Lattero

President Obama will make his first trip to Israel as president if he wins a second term, his campaign said Monday.

The Obama campaign set that expectation during a conference call intended to undercut GOP rival Mitt Romney’s trip to Israel on Saturday.

“We can expect him to visit Israel in a second term should he be elected,” Colin Kahl, the former deputy assistant secretary of Defense for the Middle East, said of Obama.

Once again had to check at top left to make sure this wasn’t from The Onion or Semi-News satire.

Has any other administration ever gotten away with rubbing people’s noses in their arrogance as these folks do?

No O has not been there. He plans to come rolling in astride a Palistinian tank with his Mike Dukakis tank hat on as they conquer Zionism once and for all (ha).

In his “dreams”.

He can keep his scrawney butt home.

I always have to check to see if the article is semi-satire as well. I don’t know if I ever remember a “President” constantly discussing what he will be doing in his second term without having already been re-elected.

Figured enough.....maybe he plans to be carted into Israel by throngs of Palestinians like Xerxes in “300”. He does share some similar visual characteristics with the movie villain.

Obama must hope he will lead a victorious Islamic Caliphate in the final defeat of Israel. More likely will be that the Middle East will be a burned out cinder where no one can live for 10,000 years.

Oh, just come out and say it: Obama despises Israel. He has been taught to despises Israel all his life by everyone he has ever hung out with, including his momma.

Evidently American Jews just like American Blacks feel a need to stay on the government plantation.

With their support of our Marxist president in the last election well above 70% they have shown to be no friend of the brilliant vision of the founders and would seem to disagree with the concept of smaller government.

Only a greater love of Marxism over country can explain why an American Jew would support Obama given his obvious bigotry towards Jews.

I am very uncomfortable with a group of people having a greater love of Marxism than their loyalty to the USA or Israel.

A large percentage of American Jews seem to be falling into the category of the enemy within.

As they were nearly exterminated by a out of control socialist government their affinity to Marxism would seem to be some sort of unexplainable insanity.

Certainly this cannot be explained by a lack of intelligence as American Jews are well to the right on the intelligence bell curve.

Announcing this right after Romney’s triumphant visit there? Who is responsible for their communication strategy? This would bring attention directly to the Jerusalem-as-capital issue and how Obama has practically ditched Israel in favor of the Muslims.

You might take a litle heat for this post, but your questions pop up in many minds.

Why would American Jews watch what Obama is doing to Israel and still vote for him? Are they masochists or just Jews in name only.

“You might take a litle heat for this post, but your questions pop up in many minds.”


You may be right but I find Freepers, in general, are willing to separate an attack versus stating provable facts.

I see no need to take heat for stating FACTS like American Jews voted for a Marxist by over 70%.

Time is long past where we should be silenced by groups, based on race or religion, for stating the provable obvious facts.

Remember his “official seal” of “The Office of the President-Elect” on his podium before he was inaugurated at the press conferences he would hold? Arrogance to the extreme.

He most likely plans on visiting Israel as the Mahdi.

More propaganda for the sake of deception. Why is that note even made public, and who did this deed for obama?

‘Lord’ meaning ‘Allah’ to obama. “and make me an instrument for your will” Looks like the Arab Spring was a success for the Allah’s little helper.

I no longer wince but actually know my position has been proven correct as when they play the race card it simply means they have nothing else to counter my position.

If they play the race card you/I have won the debate.

Tell him to stay home, nobody in Israel wants to see or hear him...ok, maybe a few bearded fellows in Gaza? There is a single Golf course in Israel in a coastal town called Caesaria so he could actually come for that purpose only. By the time he comes to Israel and due to his policies, there may be no Israel to come to, what a sap!
