Obama administration ready to abandon Israel

I have frequently stated that the two greatest threats to Israel are radical/ideological Islamists and powerful Jewish liberals. I laughed at my Jewish friends who "assured" me that Israel would be safe during an Obama administration because his chief of staff, Rahm Emmanuel, a Jew with strong connections to Israel, would serve as "gatekeeper."
According to the Jerusalem Post, Thwarting Iran's nuclear program is conditional on progress in peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, according to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
In other words, Israel has to give in to Palestinian terrorists or the US will not support Israel in its attempts to prevent Iran from gaining the weapons it will surely use to threaten Israel's existence.

Barack Obama's new "Morality"

With the revocation of the Bush administrations justice departments interrogation techniques, Barack Obama declared that "America has regained it's moral standing around the world."

How is that now?

By handcuffing the CIA's ability to extract information from blood-thirsty killers about impending mass murder attacks against American civilians, somehow, this is "moral?"

Who's approval is Obama seeking that he declares his policies more "moral" than that of his predecessor?

Does Obama think his new morality play will place us in a more favorbale light with Europe? If so, how will things from here on in benefit us? Will Europe now join us in the "war on terror?" Will they send more troops to help the US in Afghanistan?
Don't exert too much brain power on these questions. The answer is no.

And while we are allowing Barak Obama to redefine what America's morals are, I have a few questions for him:

Is it moral to put the squeeze on Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, to make concessions that risk its very survival to a terrorist people?
(I hope attendees at this weeks AIPAC convention will ask that question to Democrat officials professing their support for Israel)

Does Barack Obama feel America has regained its "moral leadership" by supporting abortion at any stage, 24/7, on healthy viable babies?

Does Barack Obama feel we have regained our "moral leadership" by supporting same sex marriage?

Does Barack Obama feel superior by pitting Americans against one another by demonizing executives in the corporate world?

Or Does Barak Obama believe that America's "morality" is defined by weakening our security, leaving this country's citizens vulnerable to more terrorist attacks so that the rest of the world will love us?

Profile of an American Who Can't Think for himself

Like many Americans, I have my points of view and ideoligical outlook, but I would never give anybody, especially an elected official, a blank check to do whatever he/she wants.

But then I came across an interview with singer Tony Bennett, a man whom I thought had a slight degree of intellect and self respect. Someone who had the ability to think for himself. But I was wrong.

Grammy-award winning musician Tony Bennett told CNSNews.com he “loves everything” Barack Obama has done in his first 100 days as president and thinks every American should “give him all-out support for anything he wants to do.” Bennett further said that Americans should imitate the other countries of the world that support Obama. “I really hope that every citizen of the United States would imitate the rest of the world because they’re all for Obama,” said Bennett. “Every other country adores what happened – in our great country – to have him as president.”
