Obama Refuses to Dine With Jewish Leader
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, March 26, 2010, 4:45 AM
Do you remember when Jesse Jackson said that under Obama Jews would lose all of their clout?
He was right.
(Top left clockwise) Barack and Michelle Obama and radical Leftist anti-Israel Professor Edward Said at a May 1998 Arab community event in Chicago at which Edward Said gave the keynote speech. (Bill Baar’s West Side), Former PLO operative and close friend of the Obama’s Rashid Khalidi, Barack Obama and his racist minister Jeremiah Wright, and close terrorist friend William Ayers.
In an unprecedented move, Barack Obama refused to dine with the Jewish leader on Wednesday.
Nile Gardiner said it best:
Barack Obama’s humiliation of Israel is a disgrace
I wrote recently about Barack Obama’s sneering contempt for both Israel and Great Britain. Further confirmation of this was provided today with new details emerging regarding the President’s appalling reception for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House earlier this week. As Adrian Blomfield reports for The Telegraph:
Benjamin Netanyahu was left to stew in a White House meeting room for over an hour after President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of tense talks to have supper with his family, it emerged on Thursday. The snub marked a fresh low in US-Israeli relations and appeared designed to show Mr Netanyahu how low his stock had fallen in Washington after he refused to back down in a row over Jewish construction in east Jerusalem.
… (Mr. Obama) immediately presented Mr Netanyahu with a list of 13 demands designed both to the end the feud with his administration and to build Palestinian confidence ahead of the resumption of peace talks. Key among those demands was a previously-made call to halt all new settlement construction in east Jerusalem.
When the Israeli prime minister stalled, Mr Obama rose from his seat declaring: “I’m going to the residential wing to have dinner with Michelle and the girls.” As he left, Mr Netanyahu was told to consider the error of his ways. “I’m still around,” Mr Obama is quoted by Israel’s Yediot Ahronot newspaper as having said. “Let me know if there is anything new.”
This is no way to treat America’s closest ally in the Middle East, and a true friend of the United States. I very much doubt that even third world tyrants would be received in such a rude fashion by the president. In fact, they would probably be warmly welcomed by the Obama White House as part of its “engagement” strategy, while the leaders of Britain and Israel are frequently met with arrogant disdain.
The ritual humiliation of the Israelis is an absolute disgrace, and yet another example of how the Obama administration views its allies with indifference, contempt, and at times outright hostility. It is extraordinary how far the Obama team has gone out of its way to grovel to state sponsors of terrorism, such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Muammar Gaddafi, while kicking America’s friends in the teeth.
Read the whole thing.
Reader Michael G. added:
It is funny how all the things conservatives worried about pre-election, which were poopoo-ed by the media, seem to be coming to fruit in the Obama administration.
Actually, it’s much worse than we thought.

This is the real scarry s**t. Forcing his woldview on us here at home may not result in irreverable consequences but the currency in the ME is blood. He and Iran are moving so far and so fast from the quasi-stable status quo that no matter how history treats him here at home, his presidency will be stained by the greatest war in generations.

There are no first times for anything in Jewish history. Everyone who has come up against us was destroyed eventually.
Now we are coming into the Passover Season which commemorates the Exodus, when we left the tyranny of Pharaoh and set out to be free people.
We have lasted thousands of years. Obama will be lucky to last through his first term.

Patman,
Do you really think if Netanyahu showed the list to the news media that they would show it?
It may be all over the news in Europe, but it will never be headlines here!
Adirondack Patriot commented:
Don’t forget his stellar diplomatic job with Honduras. Then there’s China, who told Obama to stick it at the Climate Conference in Copenhagen. Then there’s Libya, who told the U.S. that there would no celebration when the Pan Am bomber went home last year.
Obama is a boy among men on the international stage.
Rather than boy, better make that “punk” after the Netanyahu tantrum.

Netanyahu’s problem is that he is both white and Jewish, and Obama hates whites and Jews.

Wednesday, March 24, 2010, was the worst day for US diplomacy in recent memory.
Between sunrise and sunset, we 1) handled our Israeli allies as enemies, 2) treated Pakistani gangsters as our benefactors and 3) got blindsided — brilliantly — by the Russians.

Most Jews have been stuck on socialism for 100 years. So, just keep voting democrat, suck up the rejection and ask for more please.
Hatless Hessian commented:
I have a really hard time caring; the American Jews overwhelmingly supported Obama with full knowledge of our warnings. Increasingly, one could be compelled to believe that the Jewish people have become some who constantly flirt with totalitarianism in a pathetic attempt to appease it. The best they’ll do is invite it in the door.
Let us stop impeding their immense desire to fail. Goodbye Israel, Hello Palestine.
John Gargano commented:
Diplomacy is the art of accomplishing one’s objectives while not conducting one’s self in a manner that would cause offense to those with whom they are negotiating.
It’s clear that Obama is neither proficient at accomplishing objectives (with our allies or our adversaries), nor good at diplomacy.
This is why he had achieved no meaningful accomplishments outside of academe before he got elected. He thus has no basis of meaningful political accomplishments upon which to base his actions. He behavior is therefore sadly based upon his deficiencies. Most accomplished statesmen throughout time exhibited behavior that was based upon their proficiencies and strong records of meaningful accomplishments.
One could thus conclude that his “good speeches” are thus nothing more than elaborate presentations of glorious ideas because he possesses no skill at successfully transforming his ideas into reality.
While he may have accomplished the passage of Obamacare, I don’t believe anyone can claim he has created much more then a mess which will clog the courts for years, greatly hinder our economy and further divide the people at a time of critical importance. His subsequent displays of arrogance and bravado are not the type of conduct history has rewarded.

Here’s the e-mail I sent to the Israeli embassy in Washington:
Dear Ambassador Oren and the Israeli people:
Please accept my apologies for the boorish, petty, incredibly embarrassing, and plainly stupid behavior of President Obama in his treatment of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
There are no excuses. The United States is currently governed by a cretin who is in so far over his head that one can only stand and watch in slack-jawed horror.
Well, that’s not exactly true: Israel can do more than stand and watch in horror. I hope you do. The rift in the historic friendship between the U.S. and Israel is entirely the fault of Obama and our equally moronic, incompetent vice president and Secretary of State. We are in an American Dark Age for sure.
Whatever you decide to do in order to protect yourselves, I will support 100 percent.
No response to this message is necessary.
Best regards,
francis commented:
I’m sorry, but that idiot Bibi Netanyahu is not a stand-in for all jews or the state of Israel. Only a fool would make such a conflation. As for Obama’s so-called hatred of the jews, you should be deeply ashamed to imply such a thing. Why don’t you ask General Petraeus about US policy? Bibi is not contributing to Israel’s lasting security by letting the kooks on his right run away with the show.

Obama couldn’t invite Netenyahu for dinner because Michelle had had fresh lobster flown in (from Maine along with a chef to prepare it) and it just wouldn’t have been kosher.
I’m sure press secretary Gibbs will explain it much better than I, but that’s the gist of it.
Not Intimidated commented:
#19 – Paul, what does bombing Iran have to do with anything? The nation I was describing is Israel.
Only a genuine imbecile would think Israel presents a threat to world peace. In reality, if Israel alone had nuclear weapons and the demonstrated willingness to use them, the Middle East would be like a sweet Sunday-school picnic all the time.
The problem isn’t Israel. The problem is Iran and its client state Syria, which provide weapons, training, and financial support for the most dangerous terrorist groups in the world. These two nations are also hellbent on developing their own nuclear weapons.
Which poses a bigger threat to regional stability, a nuclear-armed Israel, or a nuclear-armed Iran? Which has a history of hegemony and empire building? Which states explicitly that it must export its religion by force?
Think real hard, now.
IOpian commented:
Obama is the first US President in modern history that cannot claim the title of ‘leader of the free world’. He leads only a group of Chicago thugs and a mentally defective electorate.
It is not a good idea to piss off/on the man that controls the best intelligence agency in the world.He might not be willing to pass on vital information that prevents an attack on the United States. Doing so is malfeasance in the office by placing personal interests above national interests.
Obama is just acting out the dreams from his father of despising all things relating to the former British Empire and white people in general.
But then again, the cult of Obama requires stupidity in action.
Odysseus commented:
#28 – “Bibi Netanyahu is not a stand-in for all jews or the state of Israel.”
Yeah, because the PM is so _unrepresentative_ of the state. So, you believe that Obama, and the Democratic Congressional leadership are unrepresentative of the US? Maybe you have more in common with the some of the commentators here than you realize.

Think4Yourself- we know you were talking about Israel. You are so enlightened and “open minded” that you buy into the garbage that the msm feeds you about UN/international law violations, and what terrible ‘human rights’ breaches and genocides they’ve committed against the omni-benevolent Palestinians (whose stated goal is the demise of Israel…). We’re all very tired of this trite stuff… if you disagree, please realize that you are not some wizard that knows more than the rest of us. You’re intellect is at best mediocre, please get over it.
Not Intimidated commented:
Why don’t you ask General Petraeus about US policy?
Are you talking about the recent lies spread by the media? The quotes that Petraeus never actually said?
Mark Twain said, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.” As if to illustrate the point, consider the misleading commentary that continues to emerge, attributing anti-Israeli sentiment to Gen. David Petraeus. I already knocked down one fallacious Web item written by terrorist groupie Mark Perry on Foreign Policy’s web site. The meme has also been refuted by other Foreign Policy contributors.

The head of U.S. Central Command isn’t looking to add Israel to his area of responsibility, and told senators Tuesday he doesn’t think any such move is needed.
Gen. David Petraeus, combatant commander for Iraq and Afghanistan but also neighboring countries like Pakistan and Egypt, denied news reports that he had sent a request to the White House seeking to expand their geographic responsibility to Israel.

Gen. David Petraeus, commander of the U.S. Military’s Central Command, telephoned Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi Wednesday to deny the reports he had blamed Israeli policy for the failure to reach a regional solution and for endangering the lives of U.S. soldiers in the Middle East.

You and I surely agree that Israel is in a tough predicament, but I think we also agree that it’s not OK to break the law just because you’ve decided that you’re entitled to.

According to ABC News exit polls, Jews were the most pro Obama religious demographic. American Jews voted for him at 78%, turning the tide of the election in New York and Florida. Had they voted 50-50, he would have lost those two states and with them, the election.
Do not blame this on the media. It was public knowledge before the election that his foreign policy advisors were extremely anti-semitic, pro-Arab and anti-Israeli. Samantha Powers and William Halley suggested that the US military be deployed to the West Bank and Gaza to protect militant Palestinians.
When ever I had done something stupid and it had blown up in my face, my father would take me aside and ask, “Have you learned anything?”
Well my self-loathing, liberal Jewish-American friends, Have you?
Robert commented:
And so, after snubbing our Middle East ally, we will be sending soldiers to march in Moscow on Victory Day, May 9, to commemorate the end of World War II. There is a somewhat subdued effort going on to rehabilitate the legacy of Josef Stalin, under whose image our finest might be marching.
If Obama were to attend, I suppose he could barely restrain the urge to salute.
S. Wolf commented:
Hatless Hessian #22
That’s BS. American Jews are loyal to America. Israeli Jews are loyal to Israel. Zero is the least popular POTUS ever in Israel and he is close to that in America. Jews are not some sort of monolithic force in the world, they are citizens of the nations they live in- not that they gain from that. There will never be a “Palestine” nation, that is BS too.
Pat the First commented:
Remember that there are more people in the US who support Israel than don’t. In November, B.O. becomes a lame duck occupier of the WH (I refuse to call him “President” because no US President is such an embarrassment.).
I have had the opportunity a couple of times to meet with Presidents. Both times (one from each party), I was glad to have met them. One I learned to disrespect, the other my respect continues to grow. Given the chance to meet B.O. . . . I would reject immediately.
I do think we need to use our anger and disgust to energize our work to gain back Congress. If we can get a Congress who will fight B.O., the rest of the world will know what we think of his actions.
President Bush (both of you) . . . I really miss you both!

Here’s a reality refresher: Arafat got 98% of what he wanted during the Clinton administration–and HE TURNED IT DOWN. He could have had peace, and HE TURNED IT DOWN.
Having turned down a peace agreement that would have given him damned near everything he asked for, the only option left to satisfy the so-called ‘peace process’ for the so-called ‘Palestinians’ is the complete anihilation of Israel. There is no other option–none. Israel ceded virtually everything. Therefore–stay with me, I realize you’re cognitively disabled– nothing that Israel does or does not do has any effect on this situation other than to manage the time and place of the ultimate conflagration. And now with this a-hole Obama at the helm they have no friends in the world at all. Is any of thins sinking in?

This is Jim Hoft’s site. He has the right to block any posting or poster as he deems necessary. There are plenty of other blogs where you can go to discuss Obama’s too-far-right actions, what to name Harry Reid’s remaining brain cells, and how to extract the glitter from unicorn poop. -This site is intended to allow right-minded (double entendre) people to voice their opinions and ideas to folks with similar beliefs.

You’re on the wrong website because most Americans that haven’t drank the koolaid are pro-Israel.
Including 300 congressmen:
(Haaretz)- Nearly 300 members of Congress have signed on to a declaration reaffirming their commitment to “the unbreakable bond that exists between [U.S.] and the State of Israel”, in a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The letter was sent in the wake of the severe recent tensions between Israel and the U.S. over the prior’s decision to construct more than 1,600 new housing units in East Jerusalem, a project it announced during U.S. Vice President Joe Biden’s visit to the region.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took advantage of his trip to the United States this week to try to mend the rift with the Obama administration, but he was greeted with cold welcome by the White House.
Netanyahu also met during his visit with members of Congress, who welcomed him with significantly more warmth.

My daughter asked me “what do the Jews who voted for Obama think now?” I told her for many Reform Jews being “Progressive” was more important than being religious or even being a cultural Jew. “Social Justice” trumps everything else. It doesn’t matter that Obama treats our allies (Israel included) with disdain. These people will vote for Obama again in 2012. Obama says, “If you’re our enemy, we’re sorry. If you’re our friend, you’re sorry.”

Will anyone at the LA Times ever get pissed enough at The Won to make that Rashid Khalidi farewell tape public? I’m sure Soros already paid off the keeper of the tape so we never hear word for word The Won’s anti-Zionist rant in his farewell toast to his buddy, Khalidi. Maybe the American Jews would finally see The Won for what he is – anti-semitic and anti-Zionist.

Not every Jew voted for Obama. I saw what he was about.

Get real. Do you truly believe that building 1600 apartments(not settlements) in an ORTHODOX Jewish neighborhood IN Jerusalem, the capitol of Israel, where no Arab has EVER lived is in defiance of International law or U.N. resolutions? And that Hillary, Joe and B.O. have a right to dictate to a foreign land what housing can be provided for their own people in their own Capitol? This was all a manufactured injury to place Israel on the defensive. In the end all it does is give Palestinians a new grievance that they’d never considered before to now cling to. Shame on these fools running our foreign policy.
Rock commented:
For the people of Israel I apologize for the rude and unforgivable behavior of our president towards your Prime Minister, and your nation. But as I feel you are aware, he has little respect for America either. Given that, why did the Jewish community here in America vote in such large numbers for him? Future elections will offer no reprise, and the Jewish vote will no longer be of interest to the American Socialist Party. Because of the filthy rich, Socialist, Political Correctness and uniformed voters America has been dealt a severe wound, a wound that will be a threat to Israel as well.

Or creating green power park models people can invest in. We need new power purchasing agreements. Civilians must get involved in Algae bio diesel energy production.
Instead he wasted our time on health care as if that would be any catalyst towards fixing the collapse. Now he will waste 2010 on foreign policy. Israel is being scapegoated by unethical motives so that world powers can continue to devour world resources.
People of the world you are in great danger, the energy descent is on us, that is all you should be concerned about. The PTB are feeding you disinformation.

The Brits said in a statement that the parade may mark the first time British troops have marched in Red Square; I believe the same observation applies to the American troops that will join the parade.

Kim Zigfeld writes that when she read the news, “I was ashamed to call myself an American, ashamed to admit that Barack Obama was my president.” Zigfeld’s commentary and indignation deserve your attention.
JOHN adds: The timing is particularly bad in that, for the first time in many years, the City of Moscow is planning on putting up posters of Stalin as part of its Victory Day celebration. So Obama will be able to honor not only the would-be dictator Putin, but the real thing.

I would think that spending LESS time with Obama would be somewhat of a good thing.
I can think of few people I would rather have dinner with less.

What “Zionist regime”? There is no Zionist regime in the world except in the fevered fantasies of Jew haters. I hope you enjoy living in Iran, the Iranian regime thinks there is a Zionist regime too.

WOW so many trolls it is like a dungeon in here from fantasy land. In saying that I do a disservice to the trolls of the world. You are really statist’s that are so full of hate and loathing of America and Jews. Glad I don’t have your issues, the psych bills would be through the roof. Oh….I get it…. that’s why you wanted healthcare reform. JIM do not stop these people from showing us who and what they are. Really quite funny to those of us that have paid attention. comic releif/usefull idiots.powder is dry.

Some people think the day a doctor tells you you’ve got cancer, is the worst day of their lives! HELLO! You’re about to be rescued! the cancer has been there for awhile. And, at some point, a trained doctor figured out “what you didn’t know.”
Doesn’t mean it wasn’t there. And, it doesn’t make sense that “keeping in the dark” is a great tactic.
Israelis have been aware for more than 30 years, that president’s have played it both ways. And, to paraphrase James Baker, you won’t grow rich supporting the Jews.
Everybody dies.
Some people, however, just hang in. And, realize that not every piece of news is their obituary.
Bibi didn’t get to sit down with the bamster to eat soup. Instead? He was offered a chance “to talk it over,” and immediately drew the conclusion that the White House phones were tapped. So, at least you know, the answer to the “13 demands” is no. And, not having soup? So, there’s a new soup nazi.
“No soup for you” is not as threatening as you think. And, Jerry Seinfeld, being Jewish, himself, saw the comedy. And, now we have a reference point. Hang tough.
Carol Herman commented:
Oh, yeah. While the bamster dined with his family; chewing and laughing. Bibi took his group back to the Israeli Embassy. No mention is made of corned beef sandwiches. Just the secure environment where men could talk without worry that the Roosevelt Room (which was the offer on the table), was tapped.
So, what did the American spooks, listening and hoping to hear private conversation? How about, “let’s get back to the Embassy and discuss.” (While in the car there they ordered ahead. Make mine pastrami with lots of fat. And, a pickle.)
You think the bamster had a better meal? His wife serves arugala. I hope when bibi got back you could smell the corned beef on his breath.
Lucas commented:
The US should stop cowtowing to the Israelis. Israel thumbs its nose at us and ignores our interests.
I don’t understand why the right wing thinks we should be their lap dog, because the reality is that we control their destiny and have every right to assert ourselves. If Netanyahu supports settlements that we strongly oppose, there’s nothing wrong with reminding him who’s boss.
What’s up with right wingers handing our sovereignty to Israel?

I see the neo-anti-semites are out in force. Of course they’ll be outraged for being referred to that way, but that is what they are.
To be fair, there are people who are anti-Israel (or, what is known as “Anti-Zionist”) who are not outright anti-semites. I know this because I met both of them in 1979.
I seriously doubt that either of them were any of the pissants listed above.
Art Phillips commented:
Obama is not simply against Isreal, he holds the very same contempt and hatred for the United States of America! How much more will it take for Americans and Isrealies along with the rest of the non Muslim world to understand Obama and his wife are devout Muslim? He has the exact same attitude as the Iranian leadership. I know many reading this just cursed me for it, however, anyone with any common sense and the ability to read or listen knows it to be true. When a man in Obama’s posititon refuses to honor the national day of prayer, says America is not a christian nation, covers any symbol of the Christian faith before he will give a speach in a building, then calls for a national day of recognition of islam? Don’t you think one would have to be an illiterate idiot not to know he is muslim and hates anyone who is not muslim, not to mention he has done everything in his power to destroy America and Americans regardless of their color, and no he hates black christians equally as any other color.
Don Rodrigo commented:
Oh, I guess I should add Lucas as well.
Here are the best reasons for supporting Israel and its continued existence:
That little nation is a bastion of freedom in a region that has almost none. Even more importantly, they are a nation that has contributed to world science, technology, the arts, and to intellectual curiosity out of all proportion to its size and population. If Israel is destroyed, the world will suffer a huge loss. They are surrounded by nations that have largely been a drag on and a source of misery to the world in modern times, and have contributed very little to the world’s betterment in modern history. How could anyone who is truly American pick such malignant loosers over Israel?
And I’m not done: I don’t particularly care whether the Biblical and historical aspects support the existence of Israel or not (actually, they do — the Palestinian position is grossly overstated), because what matters to me is the guts and determination that led to the creation of modern Israel in the first place.
Hostility towars Israel is founded in rank hatred and resentment of Jews, period. Nothing any of the sorry-ass posters and other haters can say can deny that overriding fact. All Jews have ever done is help make whatever place they were forced to flee to a better place by their industry and intelligence. So screw you malevolent cretins and your poorly-disguised Jew-hatred.

For those who wish to know the outcome of this, the following excerpt is a prophetic word from Cliff Hilbert:
” Barack Obama I warned you NOT TO TOUCH MY HOLY LAND! Yet in your arrogance and pride you and your top officials CONDEMNED MY PEOPLE AND MY LAND!! You are trying to force my people into splitting My Holy City! You also recently split your own nation by forcing open the jaws of the citizens and forcing them to swallow an abomination called Obamacare.
“Therefore says the Lord God I will physically split your nation in two with an earthquake like has never occured before. It will begin in the city where you began your corrupt and detestable political career, Chicago, and will split open the earth to the Gulf of Mexico. It will cause a chasm in the earth that will swallow up cities and people. Millions will die and the devastation will be beyond belief. The blood of everyone who dies will be upon your hands for all eternity, you will never escape the guilt.
“This is the beginning of horrors that will be unleashed upon the USA, just the beginning.”

Martin Luther King – One of the great supporters of Jews and Israel.
“… Famous MLK quotes about Israel and Jews:
“Israel’s right to exist as a state in security is uncontestable.”
“peace for Israel means security, and we must stand with all our might to protect its right to exist, its territorial integrity. I see Israel as one of the great outposts of democracy in the world, and a marvelous example of what can be done, how desert land can be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy. Peace for Israel means security and that security must be a reality.”
“I solemnly pledge to do my utmost to uphold the fair name of the Jews — because bigotry in any form is an affront to us all.”
“When people criticize Zionists they mean Jews, you are talking anti-Semitism.”…”
Zero is definitely no MLK.

What is it about you proggies that makes you regard Israel as the 51st state?
If I were Netanyahu, I’d PNG (declare persona non grata), the first American embassy person in Israel who even hints that he/she is talking to Hamas or Hezbollah, and I’d have already recalled my ambassador by now–but then, I’m not someone who puts up with insults by third-rate tinhorn dictator wannabe’s lightly.
antisocialist commented:
This idiot has got to be the most arrogant, snotty, culture-less, class-less, clue-less excuse for a Chief Executive to come down the pike in a long, long time. I can’t imagine that his behavior is due to complete ignorance – he has enough staff around, surely someone could have told him that such antics do little to engender a sense of cooperation.
If this administration wanted people to believe that this moron isn’t actually a wanna-be Muslim, they haven’t done a very good job of it.

Millions of American citizens
The reality that I am moved to write a letter with the following content reveals a truth all Americans are beginning to recognize. We are in the midst of an unraveling of the fabric that has bound us together for the past two hundred thirty three years. A fabric which supports the weight of all, we as a people, hold dear. Our Freedoms, Liberty, and Justice, just to name a few are all supported by and dependent upon the strength of this Red, White, and Blue fabric called the United States Constitution. Creating such a fabric required many different threads, each carefully selected for its ability to withstand time and stress while maintaining its strength, integrity and values. The threads had to be bound together tightly so that they could not be divided thus compromising the integrity of the fabric. Each thread of this fabric has a name, to mention a few, Honor, Duty, Loyalty, Morality, Strength, Honesty, Trust, and many more. All the threads in this fabric represent the greatest attributes of the human race, one race, with different shades of one color.
Prior to the 2008 election, the majority of citizens of the United States of America were well on their way to creating a new race, the American race. A new race of people with only one color, the American color, and only one name, American, not Asian American, or African American, simply American. A race bound together by their hopes and dreams and care for each other. The struggle for this dream took over two hundred years and millions of lives. It is disgraceful how the actions of those running for the honor of serving in public office have set this noble achievement back many years. I ask you men and women in the congress and the senate, as well as the men who ran for president, was it worth it? Was your ambition, your pride, your need to be famous or whatever self-serving goal you were seeking worth destroying what millions of Americans gave their lives for? Do not tell me you don’t know what I am talking about. Each of you knows very well that the despicable use of race in the 2008 election was obscene and you all share the responsibility for it. The 111th legislature, as well as the 2008 presidency, will be looked upon as the blackest days in American history thus far.
Though I have served my Country, and my family has sacrificed much for our way of life, I have failed to do my duty. I took an oath to protect the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. I was not diligent in the exercise of my duty to protect our Constitution from malignant growth known as government. Congressmen, Congresswomen, Senators and President, you represent that growth. It is your blind ambition and self interest you serve rather than the American people and the Constitution you swore to protect. The actions taken by this administration and legislature amount to a direct attack on the Constitution and the rights and freedoms it guarantees. You have forgotten that it is not your place or your right to tell the people what you are going to do. It is your duty and obligation to ask the people what they want! When I say, it is your duty to ask the people, I mean the majority, not the few that simply seek to be coddled, ask those who have made and make this nation successful. This government has made too many false assumptions with regard to the reason it was elected.
For too long I have lived under the misguided assumption that individuals elected to the highest offices in the land, individuals that took the same oath to the Constitution I did, would honor that oath. I believed that they could be trusted and things like Honor, Duty, Loyalty, and Morality were as important to them as they are to me. I made a serious error in judgment with regard to many of them. Many in the Senate and Congress do not have the capacity to possess such ideals. Just think, people who are supposed to be the guardians of our Constitution are trying to limit free speech, restrict the free exercise of religion, remove the right to own arms, just to mention a few of their attacks on the Constitution and the American people.
What person in their right mind has the audacity, the arrogance or the ignorance to expect people to apologize for the success of their nation? The only change we need now is to remove such ingrates from office. If our country is such a horrible place to live, why do so many around the world want to come here? Why does our government want to reward criminals and provide them free medical, subsistence and free education at the expense of those who can’t afford it for their own families? People who have entered this country illegally and laugh at our laws, many of whom commit crimes in our country, are given property and rights paid for by our citizens even when these same citizens cannot afford it for themselves. If these illegal aliens want to live in a country like the United States of America then they need only to go back to their own country and pay the price Americans here have paid and build another America, the world could certainly use more.
Americans owe the world nothing, nothing at all. This nation has always provided for the rest of the world freely and willingly. Our nation has fought and sacrificed more than any nation on earth for those in need around the world. Now some of you in Washington have the nerve to think we should apologize for our success. You are very much mistaken if you think this American feels apologetic, and don’t even think of apologizing for me!
Our nation’s success was purchased with the hard work, sweat, tears, suffering and blood of ordinary people who possessed extraordinary will, courage and values. I am proud of this nation because of citizens who were willing to share that success along with the blood of their sons and daughters with the world. I despise any individual calling for or making an apology for the sacrifice of my brothers and sisters in arms, be they living or dead, or any citizen of our great nation. Get it clearly embedded in your conscience that the United States has nothing to apologize for! Consider this, why don’t those of you in Washington that have degraded, insulted and slandered our country, its military and many of our citizens start correcting the disastrous course you have taken by making a long overdue apology to America and her allies. Speaking of apologies, the media, those in television mainly, have betrayed their profession, their country, and themselves. What is most discouraging about the media is the fact that they know very well they have lost all credibility and trust. Some journalists even admit that they don’t report news anymore, “we make the news” one of them stated. You won’t find any honor in this profession any more. And just think, I am just a simple person, a nobody to the new Washington and the media.
I have a great deal more to say, however, I am sure most congressmen and senators are far too superior to even acknowledge an average citizen much less read all this. To those in our government still holding to your beliefs and values, those who still honor the Constitution and believe in freedom over tyranny, I salute you, respect you, and I have your back so long as we stand. To the rest, look carefully in a mirror, you are just a person. There is nothing special about you. There are many in this country that can do your job far better than you ever will. You are only insulting the rest of us and making fools of yourselves acting as though you are any better, any smarter, or any more qualified at what you are doing than a million others are. You were born, you will age, and you will die just like every other person on this earth, why not leave behind a good memory and an unselfish legacy. No one is unaware of the mistakes they have made, each of us knows when we are doing something for the wrong reasons. I hope I can get through to at least a few of you in government before the betrayal of the American people turns to outright treason. Where is your Courage, Commitment, Honor, all those things a leader must possess?
God Bless our great nation!
Respectfully,
Art Phillips and millions of other Americans
Afterthought: What could be so valuable to a person elected to serve a nation as great as the United States that they would betray such a trust? I can’t answer that, however, we are witnessing this very thing in our government. It seems that most of those we trusted to protect our beloved Constitution have betrayed every citizen in the United States. In the past six months we have seen our Constitution, our Military, and many average citizens slandered, threatened and subjected to vicious attacks which were totally unwarranted. Our present administration and legislature is by all means and definition guilty of treason. When will one of our many Law Enforcement, Judges, Dept of Justice or courts find a little courage our soldiers have and make these traitors and criminals answer. It looks as though the only ones who are going to be punished for our governments dishonor and criminal activity is US.

Wonder how Streisand, Spielberg, Katzenberg et al feel about this? Seems Obama, (without multimillion dollar donations to let the “@ikes” in) just doesn’t like Jews. In fact, he seems to hate them. I guess Rev Wright’s sermons promoting Jew hatred worked well. That and of course Obama’s madrassa education in Indonesia. Does anyone else but me remember that Obama vehemently denied he EVER attended a Madrassa? In fact, he deemed it racist to even SUSPECT such a thing. Lying BASTARD
