Obama Versus Obama: Part IV (Sowell on Obama & Israel)
Creators Syndicate ^ | September 26, 2012 | Thomas Sowell

During the same week when the American ambassador to Libya was murdered and his dead body dragged through the streets by celebrating mobs, the President of the United States found time to go on the David Letterman show to demonstrate his sense of humor and how cool he is.

But Barack Obama did not have time to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of a nation repeatedly threatened with annihilation by Iranian leaders, who are working feverishly toward the creation of nuclear bombs.

This was an extraordinary thing in itself, something that probably no other President of the United States could have gotten away with, without raising a firestorm of criticisms and denunciations. But much of the media sees no evil, hears no evil and speaks no evil when it comes to Barack Obama — especially during an election year.

Nor was this public rebuff of a publicly requested meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu unique in its expression of disrespect, if not contempt, for both the man and his country. Despite his glowing assertions of his commitment to Israel, especially in speeches to American Jewish groups, Barack Obama has been working against Israel's interests from his first day in the White House. As in many other contexts, Barack Obama 1 speaks but Barack Obama 2 acts — often in the opposite direction.

The vision in which Obama has been steeped is one in which white Western nations have oppressed and exploited non-white, non-Western nations, becoming rich and arrogant at other people's expense. It is a vision that calls out, not for justice, but for payback.

When Jeremiah Wright said, "white folks' greed runs a world in need" — and Obama, by his own account,...

The hindsight of history usually reveals the foolishness of misguided leaders, but it is rare for a leader to be so unfit that it is obvious to everyone as events are taking place.

Well said and so true.

Plus it's incomprehensible to me that he still has the supporters he has, not a good sign for the future of our country.

Barack Obama is not the first leader of a nation whose actions reflected some half-baked vision, enveloped in lofty rhetoric and spiced with a huge dose of ego. Nor would he be the first such leader to steer his nation into a historic catastrophe.

In Barack Obama's case, the potential for catastrophe is international in scope, and perhaps irretrievable in its consequences, as he stalls with feckless gestures as terrorist-sponsoring Iran moves toward the production of nuclear bombs.

It's easy to throw rocks at a feckless communist from Hoover Tower Dr. Sowell. In specific and concrete terms, what would you have America do about it?

Two or so years ago a FReeper wanted to ask him a question and I FReepmailed that link to him, a few days later he FReepmailed me back and had gotten a reply from Dr. Sowell.

Try again, it doesn't cost anything but a few minutes of your time.

Uuuhhh, how about supporting them like they’ve supported us? Not concrete enough?

In any war between the civilized and the savage man, support the civilized man.

I’ll let you figure it out. MmmmK?

No. Please define what "support" looks like in physical terms, you know, "blockade," "attack," "assassinate," "remove," "arm," "sanction," "cower,"... words like that, actions with discernible consequences by which one gets an idea where a person stands.

I’ll let you figure it out. MmmmK?

No. Yours is cowardly ambiguity.
