Obama: still despises Israel & Netanyahu
Mr Obama still despises Israel and its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
It’s no more complicated than this: Mr Obama despises the United States for having acquired its power base “on the backs of small brown people,” and Israel for having acquired its power base “on the backs of small brown people.”
Mr Obama will do his best to level these two nations out. Both the US and Israel need to be knocked down a peg or ten. Both nations acquired power in a completely unfair fashion. Power they don’t deserve and power they need to release.
Mr Obama isn’t just refusing to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu. He is actively advocating against Netanyahu and for his new political opponent. Doubt me? Click this link.
PM Netanyahu was invited to speak before the US Congress by Republicans. Mr Obama refuses to meet with Netanyahu when this occurs. Yet, Mr Obama will do everything he can to smooth the ruffled feathers of Iran and demands US pols not insist that further sanctions be levied against Iran.
Because, evidently, Mr Obama has such a nuanced and effective plan in place to disarm Iran and make it docile.
Oh my God. Are Republicans possibly that stupid?
You, my dear readers, know the inherent answer to that question.

Administration Official Criticizes Israeli Ambassador Over Netanyahu Visit
by Julie Hirschfeld Davis
The Obama administration, after days of mounting tension, signaled on Wednesday how angry it is with Israel that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted Republican leaders’ invitation to address Congress on Iran without consulting the White House. The outrage the episode has incited within President Obama’s inner circle became clear in unusually sharp criticism by a senior administration official who said that the Israeli ambassador, Ron Dermer, who helped orchestrate the invitation, had repeatedly placed Mr. Netanyahu’s political fortunes above the relationship between Israel and the United States.
And yet, Mr Obama will hold Iran in the highest regard.
And yet, Mr Obama cannot even name terrorist organizations.
The Taliban is not a “terrorist organization.”
“Sometimes they carry out tactics that are sometimes akin to terrorism.”
Are you kidding me?

Leftists pushing more gun control: when gun crime is still plunging and more Americans oppose gun control
Once again, placing the logic, common sense, proportion and rationality of Leftists into question.
Despite the bedwetting hysteria of Leftists over cops and black male shootings.
From FoxNews.com:
Why most Americans oppose more gun control
by Dr John R Lott, Jr
A new Pew Research Center survey finds that, for the first time in their surveys, the majority of Americans oppose more gun control. Gallup and CNN polls tell a similar story. Opposition to gun control has been increasing over at least the last couple of decades.
Gun control groups have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to try to convince Americans that gun control is the answer. In 2013, gun owners’ groups — including the NRA — spent less than one seventh as much on television advertisements. This year looks to be even more lopsided, thanks to the unrelenting efforts of individuals such as Michael Bloomberg, George Soros and Gabriel Giffords.
Perceptions have changed dramatically, with most people now believing the “More Guns, Less Crime” hypothesis. Gallup recently asked Americans if they thought residents are safer with a gun in the home. People answered “Yes” by a margin of 63 to 30 percent. In 2000, Americans gave just the opposite answer by a margin of 51 to 35 percent. In 2013,[3] Sixty percent of gun owners listed “Personal Safety/Protection” as the reason for owning a gun.
Academic research aligns with current public opinion. If you have a gun in the home, that gun is far more likely to prevent murder than it is to be used in an accidental shooting or to kill a loved one.
Facts in evidence.
Shame.

Obama’s goal now and in 2015: pushing America into decline?
Charles Krauthammer, a very measured man whom I admire, believes so:
Mr Krauthammer is precisely correct; Mr Obama is a man, as president, who purposely chooses “America in decline.” America’s enemies are emboldened, Obama is “concerned,” he “monitors,” and has done roughly nothing to hold America in the good light that he swore would return to our nation under his leadership. We are not respected internationally as he said we would be under his tenure.
Further, we have natural gas and oil reserves that can potentially rid the nation of its festering relationship with the Islamic Middle East. We have the capability to rid ourselves of a great deal of Blood or Conflict Oil.
Yet Mr Obama decides we shall not pursue independence. Instead, he chooses social divisiveness over unity and coherence, class and racial warfare over cohesiveness and singularity of national purpose.
As Mr Krauthammer states, Obama is a man who does not believe in American exceptionalism or American goodness. He seeks to place us completely in line with every other nation, no better than Cuba or Luxembourg or Syria or Zimbabwe or Burma. “American greatness” does not exist in Mr Obama’s sphere of thinking.
This philosophy informs every move Mr Obama makes — or doesn’t make.
Your thoughts?

Another reason Obama is daft:
Damn those inconvenient facts.
