Obama speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A bit of Resolute’s history
“The ship was purchased, fitted out and sent to England as a gift to HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA by the PRESIDENT AND PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES as a token of goodwill & friendship. This desk was made from her timbers when she was broken up, and presented by the QUEEN OF GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND to the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES in 1880, Rutherford B. Hayes, as a memorial of the courtesy and loving kindness which dictated the offer of the gift of the HMS RESOLUTE.”
Not only does Obama disrespect our National Treasures but cannot seem to preclude himself from insulting the Israelis in the process with his casual approach to volatile life and death situations in the Middle East.
“Israeli TV newscasters Tuesday night interpreted a photo taken Monday in the Oval Office of President Obama talking on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an “insult” to Israel.
It is considered an insult in the Arab world to show the sole of your shoe to someone. It is not a Jewish custom necessarily, but Israel feels enough a part of the Middle East after 60 years to be insulted too.
Israel’s Channel One TV reported that Netanyahu was told Tuesday by an “American official” in Jerusalem that, “We are going to change the world. Please, don’t interfere.” The report said Netanyahu’s aides interpreted this as a “threat.”
Netanyahu Believes that Obama is Picking Fight with Israel Just To Make Arabs Happy
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes that U.S. President Barack Obama wants a confrontation with Israel, based on Obama’s speech in Cairo last week, Netanyahu’s confidants say.
In Netanyahu’s opinion, the Americans believe an open controversy with Israel would serve the Obama administration’s main objective of improving U.S. relations with the Arab world, the aides say.
In his speech, Obama called for a “new beginning” in relations between America and Islam, and spoke at length about the Israeli-Arab conflict.
By telephone yesterday, Netanyahu told Obama of his intention to give a key policy speech on Sunday, in which he would outline his policy to achieve peace and security. Obama promised to listen to the address closely, and the two “agreed to maintain open and continuous contact,” the Prime Minister’s Bureau said.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
I say YES that is a threat and imagine Obama saying that to some other countries we know about. Others that would not count to 10 first before reacting and starting a war.
His attitude is one where he feels he is better then anyone else, above all mankind, he has shown us he does not have to answer for things, be held responsible for things even though out of one side of his ugly mouth he says he will be. It is all an act from him when he tries to come off as sincere. Just like his lie, his huge lie about transparency. LOL That is truly laughable but scary too.
“We are going to change the world. Please, don’t interfere.”
But first, Obama needs to destroy the United States. It keeps getting worse, doesn’t it. If Israel takes out Irans Nukes, what is obama going to do about it. He can’t even handle Kims Dongs Ill.
He’s a boy trying to fit into a man’s shoes and hes screwing everything up.
He can get his damn feet off my desk. That desk belongs to the people of the United States.
The Israelis will do what they have to do. They know the have no backing from us so they will act unilaterally. I doubt that they will even tell us until after they act.
Sad what obama is doing to America.
Mark, you forgot to capialize the word Boy.
TomR, yes it is very sad, however, take a close look at Osambo’s left shoe. See that brown lump?
That is from my Great Pyrenees Dudley.
I guess I will just go upstairs to the bathroom and puke, Use some mouthwash and then come down and grab a beer.
This Obama character is spooky and dangerous.
