This is the photo of him with the soles of his shoes in the foreground – feet on the Oval Office desk – many thought purposely taken to insult the Israelis.
Thought it looked familiar, so I checked.

Israelis have every reason to be angry at Oilbama. They only threw eggs and shoes at his photo is indicative of their civility.
Libtards with much less reason and even no real reason for their anger “murdered” effigies GW Bush and Palin.

Eggs, shoes, books, seems like anything handy will do. Do you think that maybe not only do we hate the fool, the better part of the civilized world does also. Who (who besides the Muslim world) hasn’t this fool made a fool of him self with?
Ratt commented:
Protests like this are juvenile and stupid. They solve nothing. The Muslims and the Leftists pull this crap all the time.

Maybe we should try something bigger … like a pie or a rump roast…maybe a stuffed turkey..

Come on people, start working on your aim!
I know we can do better, how can we miss that gigantic inflated ego? Just aim between the goal posts…I mean ears, those impossibly big ears…

Also involved was the ” Free Pollard” group. Got that? These are the scum who believe that a traitor who sold U.S. secrets to Israel, is a hero and should be given clemency and released from prison. Someone who BETRAYED the United States.

I think you have to call them ‘right wing’ again…You didn’t describe them as ‘right wing’ often enough.
Make sure you keep repeating ‘right wing’.

And this is different than our “president” and half or more of the Democrats in Congress how exactly?

I’m almost relieved to see them using that photo. The first time I saw it, with its background story (he was on the phone with Israeli officials when the photo was taken or staged) the intended insult to Israel was both obvious and staggering. As a proud friend of Israel, it made me feel personally insulted. The fact that there wasn’t an uproar about it was revealing and further troubling. I’m glad that many have not overlooked the significance of that photo.
Obama is adept at insulting gestures.
Pray for America, and VOTE.
Best regards, Peter Warner.

@ #1 – Yes, he was showing the soles of his shoes – because it was Bibi Netanyahu he was talking to on the phone.

Hmmm… You just might have a point there about the Democrats, for they are for the most part unconditional supporters of Israel…..oops! So is this site! You know, the country that PAID Pollard to steal our secrets and then bartered some of them to the Soviet Union? The country that named a street after this weasel. The country that still pushes for Pollards release. Our “ally”. The ally you defend rather than your own president.
And Barney Frank and a few other Democrats are calling for the President to free Pollard. Imagine that! You all have something in common with Barney Frank!
I am not a fan of some of the President’s policies, but your implication that the President has betrayed America, is just too contemptible to deserve a civil response.
Hester commented:
For those who need a refresher course in what betrayal looks like:
“Let us suppose that the individual who stole the secrets was caught. In the damage assessment made after the arrest, it was determined that the espionage had been the most devastating ever experienced by the US both in volume and in the sensitivity of the information that had been betrayed.
Fast forward a few years. The country that paid the man to steal the secrets becomes a major beneficiary of US assistance and uses the money to set up a lobbying organization that effectively manages key players in the federal government and the media, making it virtually invulnerable to any criticism. Fast forward a few more years and legislators in the US Congress known to be advocates of the foreign country that bought the secrets join in, calling for the release of the convicted spy. The media obligingly does not report the tale of American legislators who have apparently sold out.”
