Just another reason President Obama will serve a second term. Well done Mr. President!
I see what you mean. Saw this today:

http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=17320388

"As tensions rise over Iran's nuclear ambitions and the United States leads a mine-clearing exercise in the Persian Gulf, Obama also warned Tehran that the United States will "do what we must" to prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon."

"A nuclear Iran, Obama said, "would threaten the elimination of Israel, the security of Gulf nations, and the stability of the global economy. It risks triggering a nuclear-arms race in the region, and the unraveling of the non-proliferation treaty."

Aren't you glad we have a President who doesn't grovel to Israel?


Yep, grovelling to Muslim countries is SO much better.

Mr. President didn't have time to talk with any leaders of other countries, especially those of the Middle East because he was so busy campaigning. Yep, he is trying to buy women's votes by being on The View today when he should have been meeting with a number of heads of state. I heard a list of the heads of state that George Bush met with in 2004 just as close to the election today and it was pretty near 6 and all of them from the Middle East other than Japan. I guess campaigning wasn't as big a deal to Bush as it is to Obama and, as I remember, the Dems were being about as nasty about Bush in favor of Jon Carry as anything going on today.

Yes, Mr. President, you must take all the time you need to campaign since campaigning has been the most important part of his administering for over a year now. He was campaigning when he said that the Ft. Bliss shootings were not terrorism but workplace problems. He was campaigning when he said that the attack that killed an American ambassador wasn't terrorism and had to admit to being wrong a week later. He is campaigning when he says that movies that take Muslims down aren't really allowed but he can't do anything about them because of the First Amendment. If there are so few Muslims in this country as most of you leaners say I can't help wondering why he is trying so hard to make saying anything about Muslims is so wrong.

We want a tough-talking America that doesn't apologize and doesn't waste time with the desires of other countries... EXCEPT Israel. We have to do whatever they want because they're our most useful ally in the globe. They help us in so many ways, such as...... hmm give me a second on this, there must be something there.

The connection is quite clear.
Good Lord. You mean every Israeli is heaven sent? They never overstep?

Besides this attitude does not go very far when the Muslims think the exact same thing about Mohammed. How about we expect both sides to make efforts to get along.

I don't recall anything I learned in Sunday school saying we needed to help Israel start WWIII.
