Photo-Ops–
Barack Obama invited press photographers into his meeting today with Palestinian Fatah Leader Mahmoud Abbas.

But, just three months ago Obama would not allow photos of himself with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he visited the White House.
Tonight on Special Report Charles Krauthammer commented on the Fatah photo-op.
“Obama has shifted and reversed American sympathies in the Middle East.”

Not only obama, Bush, clinton they all where pretty friendly with the terrorist supporting nations.
The only difference is obama has thrown Israel under the bus.
I see nothing peaceful about “any” muslim, you trust them at your own peril. It’s like a pitbull, some people say they are friendly dogs, but I wouldn’t own one.
Look at Turkey, I’m sure the Armenians thought the muslims where peaceful until they started to decapitate all the Armenians. You show weakness to the muslims and they will kill you.
Terry Gain commented:
The difference between Obama and a closet Muslim is zero.
Freddy commented:
Too bad the video link is missing.
Meanwhile, w/o being able to parse Charles words, I will assume he meant the US Federal Government position.
At this point, a president with an approval rating headed to the bottom of the gulf has a tough time representing even himself.
Jim Hoft commented:
Video fixed now.
Thanks.
CommieBlaster commented:
The logic for Obama is easy….
1. The Fatah Party belongs to Socialists International.
2. The Fatah Party supports Militant, Armed Islamic Terrorists.
Obama = Socialist Islam

My sympathies have not been shifted….I still think the palestinians are a cartel of murderous thugs.
As for obama…..he did tell us that when it came to sides, he would always side with the muslims. How many more times are we going to be surprised when he does what he says….including when he changes the greatest country in the world?
Flyover Sam commented:
Don’t forget the parting gifts being sent back to Hamas! Obama announced the United States will borrow nearly a half billion dollars from China ($400 mil.) and then give it away to Hamas so they can build (terrorist training) schools, (munitions storing) hospitals and provide other (Jew-killing) restorative resources.
I’m sure China won’t mind when we cancel our debt obligations and suggest they collect from the globalist progressives. Confiscating Soros’ wealth might pay off 0.1%.
averagemelon commented:
I wonder what has changed that made Obama so bold to announce to all the world his intentions for the Jews. The election results perhaps? Perhaps this is a sign to all those who despise Israel?
Joanne commented:
Obama already gave or promised to give 900 million early in his occupation of the Whitehouse, and now he is going to give another 400 million to, basically, Hamas efforts.
Can you blame Obama for doing exactly what so many of us knew he was going to do once in Office, considering no one is stopping him. Is it any wonder Obama is preparing to stop any uprising of the terrorist groups, also known by the names Tea Partiers, Conservatives, Christians, Veterans, Military, Republicans, Right-Wingers, if they should attempt to dispose of his sorry socialist Muslim arse?
Obama isn’t just a terrorist supporter and appeaser, he is one of them.
bill-tb commented:
Has Obama approval hit the bottom of the Gulf yet? In a 5000 foot deep hole are we. With this much incompetence being displayed you would think no one would believe a word you say.
How many gallons spilled for this presser and photo op?
kansas commented:
400 million to Gaza. No jobs for Americans. No help to stop the oil spill. Party time at the WH.
Sojourner commented:
Dr. K is sadly, exactly accurate. Obama and the radical left are taking their masks off.. He said it: he needs to know which a$$ to kick and Israel tops the list, followed, I believe, by seizing the Gulf to government control. The facist power brokers that landed him the Highest Seat in the Land are fully aware that there lies just 146 days between their regime’s choke hold on power and November’s day of reckoning.. it’s going to get ugly, I fear, very fast.
{God bless & protect Israel and our dear Land}
Scott commented:
400 million to the folks who have launched 5000 rocket attacks on Israel since Gaza went back to control of Hamas and the PLO…Don’t feed strays or terrorists. You always get more of the same!

I would say that Obama has attempted to shift sympathies, but the vast majority do not agree. I will stand with Israel always.
gus commented:
“If the political winds shift in an ugly direction, I will stand with the MUZZZZZLIMS”
How F@#$ING CLEAR DOES HE HAVE TO BE??
He told us he is a Marxist. He is.
He said he’d stand with the Muzztards. He is.
Wake the hell up.
Sandy commented:
Obama isn’t even trying to fool anyone now. He promised 400 Million to the Pals. Those poor Muslim Terrorists — they’re so misunderstood. Its a sad day when you lose your base but gain Rosie O’Donnell.
Sandy commented:
Do we or don’t we have an ongoing War on Terror? Cause our soldiers seem to think so as they die for this country. We live in strange times when our soldiers die for a cause that the President doesn’t believe in.

watching & half listening to Charlie
Rose interview Abbas re: Jerusalem..
“Not possible. Not possible. Not possible in any way.
East Jerusalem is occupied territory. We will not sign
any agreement that does not include East Jerusalem
as the capitol of Palestine”
do you think the too prog-lib for their
own good Jews get Obama yet?? gah!!

i’m sorry, but once that Cordoba Mosque is built on hallowed ground in NYC, with the grand opening being celebrated on 9/11, imho, that will signify we have officially lost the war on terror, not that Obama didn’t already declare it “over”.. and he’s damn well making sure it’s “over for
US” regardless.. however, they will not only go on & on & on, but will
see to it that their Jihad chief in the drivers seat, aka: Oval Office gets
reelected..
we did not listen, we’re not listening still, and
sooner than we think, it won’t freakin’ matter..
Impeach Obama & declare everything he
ever put his (fitb) name to null & void!!
if we collapse, so be it, at least it won’t be
under the audacity of B Hussein O’s reign..

It is a hard truth but we are entering a period when Israel will be under siege. Unfortunately, for the first WE are the ones manning the siege!
What will happen? Israel will do what any human would do when under attack. It will defend itself and will ultimately use all of its weapons. That means Obama’s liberal view of how to handle the Jews will end up with a vast majority of the Middle East turning into a glass parking lot.
And I would not blame Israel for a second.
Tammy commented:
I love the body language.
Obama is being given the Palm Down handshake(dominence) and no eye contact from Abas(dimissal).
That’s what’s happening: The Middle East now has the upper hand and looks DOWN on the USA.
All because of this week President.
It’s right there, folks.
Tammy commented:
Sorry for my lousy spelling. Typed too fast…
Just_Saying commented:
So, naive as it sounds, I thought Congress controlled the purse-strings. Where does Obummer get the $400m? The Senate should pass a resolution that no money can be spent (from whatever slush fund Obummer has) to fund terrorist or anti-American groups like Hamas!
Oh, and impeach. Now.

Opus #6 commented:
Obama has shifted and reversed ADMINISTRATION sympathies.
American sympathies continue to lie with Israel.
Peggy commented:
O speaks for himself and his radical Fellow Travelers. So, Rahm is cool with all this, eh? Good thing his son’s bar mitzvah was this year. May not be an Israel next year.
God have mercy on Your Chosen People. St Michael defend them in battle against the Devil himself.

Tammy @ 10:14 pm #24
that’s because Obama serves his masters well..
at any rate, that’s just a still shot, usually (same goes for previous presidents) both look at the camera (for pix) in between looking at one another.. and not saying he did, but i wouldn’t put it past Obama to send a message (like the one you picked up on) to the Islamic world (it wouldn’t be the first time).. as he does seem to somewhat avoid eye contact, but then again, he tends to do that with everyone, only he’s used to looking up vs down.. and again, the use of his middle finger is interesting as well..

I’d like to think that was enough – it is, between our God and us as individuals.
but once when I had first found the whole entire list of the Stalinist Agenda, within weeks I was at a convention where I soon ended up in a conversation with a wonderful lady from Washington DC who worked on Christian politician’s campaigns.
I showed her the list, how much was already accomplished, 30 years ago.
She told me, that isn’t all, this is also done – the willingness to surrender BEFORE Nuclear War – about #2 or #3 on the list.
I said NO IT IS NOT.
She said YES IT IS!
We argued back and forth, then she said Where do you live!
I said TEXAS and our fighting spirit… Alamo…blah blah blah…
She calmly interjected – I live in Washington DC. And THERE, it is SETTLED. (That is where “The Buttons” are!) And there is nothing TEXAS can do about THAT!
I’ve never felt so small.
WE DO NOT AGREE WITH OBAMA – and we can fight! And WE CAN PRAY!
And WE can remember GOD’S HAND is bigger and has been more determined for MORE THOUSANDS OF YEARS, than Odrama Queen dreams of!
But we have a job before us!
And it can only start on our knees in PRAYER.
But here is some encouragement – the Book of Obadiah! And Ezekial 38th and 39th Chapters.
Psalm 91 – The Soldiers Shield!
He that dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty … under His Wings I shall trust…
Israel is SAFE – It is FINISHED as far as COVENANT WITH GOD AND ABRAHAM is concerned – SETTLED AND ACCOMPLISHED.
What is left is WHERE SHALL AMERICA STAND AS A NATION BEFORE GOD ALMIGHTY?
We must defend Israel for the sake of our own Covenant with God, to show Him a Heart that is tender towards Him and those He loves and cares for – such as His Covenant Wife – Isaiah 54, we who join in are His Children by Adoption – she remains His Covenant Wife of His youth!
it’s only been 2 DAYS, as far as HE is concerned!
Matthew 5:17 ¶Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
THIS DOES NOT REFER TO “The Ten Commandments” as such – BUT TO THE COVENANT BETWEEN GOD AND ABRAHAM of Genesis 12 and 15th Chapters. His Allegiance remains with Israel as COVENANTED!

Hey, Rahmbo. There is no “messaging” problem.
The Sultan Obama’s message is coming across loud and clear.

Ships Of Fools, Part II
The stated purpose of the “peace flotilla” to Gaza was to bring much-needed “relief supplies to the people there. This was, of course, a lie. The “supplies” were not critically needed stuff (especially the cases and cases of expired pharmaceuticals and worn-out equipment), and Israel tried to deliver it to Gaza after unloading and inspecting it — and Hamas refused to allow it into Gaza.

I’m going to step out of line for a second here.
When I look at that handshake in the photo… To me Abbas looks like he’s thinking “Oh yeah! I won b*tches!” And the look on Obama’s face reminds me of “Oh yes, please spank me again.”
