On Monday, 87 Senators signed a letter to President Obama affirming their support for Israel while urging his.
This comes in response to last month's highly-publicized flotilla incident [0] in the Mediterranean Sea and the United Nations predictable anti-Israel reaction.
A similar letter has been circulated in the House that has apparently garnered 307 signatures.
Despite the overwhelming bipartisan outcry -- something rather rare in Washington these days to be sure -- very few American media outlets bothered to report the news.
Fortunately, the Hill published [1] the following Wednesday (h/t Weasel Zippers [2]):
Led by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) - and signed by 85 other members of the upper chamber - the letter argues that Israel's blockade of Gaza was both legal and necessary, and that Israeli commandos were acting in self-defense when they landed on the ship.
"[V]ideo footage shows that the Israeli commandos who arrived on the sixth ship, which was owned by the Turkish Humanitarian Relief Foundation (the IHH), were brutally attacked with iron rods, knives, and broken glass," the senators wrote.

How about 87 senators seeking impeachment?
We're up to a third of the sea turned to blood.
Next up should be a mass contamination of the fresh water supply, followed by something darkening the skies (a volcanic eruption?).
I have no idea if I'm being tongue-in-cheek or serious anymore.
Shalom.
...whatever happens to Israel happens to the values of freedom , liberty and democracy in the US of A.
Most do not understand that. As Isael is being attacked by Obama, so is America.
The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeachment and Pelosi, like Reid, loves Hussein and would never let it happen.
Would other governments call this letter a vote of no confidence?
I never say never - that said - it should be the cry of all. With your mindset and others, you are right, it will never happen. They are defeated before doing one thing! Amazing.

Obama has been hell on the parodies. You can't get more absurd than this administration.
You are correct and what would make this a ‘real’ story is ... The ‘Names’ of those 13 who didn’t sign and why?

. . . but then, it's possible that neither of them will be in the majority next year . . .Reid might not even be in the Senate, even if the Democrats do hold the majority.
87 is too far above 2/3 of 100 to be ignored with complete impunity . . .
And, God willing, it'll be even higher next year.
Agreed
Big difference is that George Bush did not turn his back on Israel. I’m not talking Revelations, I’m talking being cursed with a curse if you curse Israel. And blessed if you bless her. Obama has not blessed Israel in the least. That’s the word of God, not me. Shalom!

Obama is just the kind of a man that one would expect from the Jeremiah Wright Church. I have not been fooled. Obama was not brought up by G-d fearing people. He has no basis for truth.
We need to ask G-d to forgive us, and then obey him.
Flies are swarming the whitehouse, landind on BO’s face...and bees and rats.....
