"Why should Obama â€œgetâ€ Israel? He doesnâ€t get the United States" +100,000

Why should Obama “get” Israel? He doesn’t get the United States, as witness the Tea Party and 55 percent of the voters who oppose his signature legisltive accomplishment, the 2,700 page health Care Reform bill. He did not know what was in it and did not understand either the bill or the problems he sought to “fix”. He is also clueless on all the other problems he seeks to legislate on. Why expect him to be other than clueless about Israel?

Obama, by his stupidity and ignorance, is fixing to put the USA on the wrong end of a nuclear first strike and set up the Jewish people for another bout of genocide. I very much fear that will be his legacy.

Even if the SOB went to Israel, he probably wouldn’t leave Tel Aviv

It’s simply too late for Obama to visit Jerusalem.

He’s taken whatever trust may have existed, whatever confidence the Israelis may have had in him, and pissed it away entirely.

It’s too late.

If Obama goes to Jerusalem, he should stop by the American embassy there…

Oh. Wait. It’s not there.

It’s in Tel Aviv, despite Congress passing laws stating it needs to be moved to Jerusalem.

Of course, there’s already an American Embassy in Jerusalem: East Jerusalem.

The State Department calls it a Consulate, but it’s the de-facto embassy to the Palestinian Authority.

So, in essence, the State Department recognizes the Arab/Muslim/terrorist claims to East Jerusalem, but no the Jewish claims to any part of Jerusalem.

Clinton-Bush-Obama… lots of hot air, lots of bluster, but when it’s time for actions, the words ring hollow.
