President Obama continues to criticize Israel and rebuff its leadership. Today Yahoo! news reported that Obama refused to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, America's most loyal ally. Obama continues to attend fundraisers instead of meet with the elected Israeli leader. Netanyahu and Obama have important issues to discuss because Israel may soon launch an attack on Iran to prevent the radical Islamic nation from building nuclear weapons.
Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said, "It is puzzling that the president can't make time to see the head of state of one of America's closest allies in the world... If these reports [about Iran's nuclear program] are true, the White House's decision sends a troubling signal to our ally Israel about America's commitment at this dangerous and challenging time."
PM Netanyahu said, "The world tells Israel, 'Wait, there's still time.' And I say, 'Wait for what? Wait until when?'... Those in the international community who refuse to put red lines before Iran don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel."
President Obama received 78% of the Jewish vote in 2008. Polling shows Obama may lose 25% of that in 2012, largely because of Obama's hostility toward Israel.

NEWS.YAHOO.COM reports:
From Yahoo! News: WASHINGTON/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - In a highly unusual rebuff to a close ally, the White House said on Tuesday that President Barack Obama would not meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a U.S. visit later this month, as tensions escalated over how to deal with Iran's nuclear program. The apparent snub, coupled with Netanyahu's sharpened demands for a tougher U.S. line against Iran, threatened to plunge U.S.-Israeli relations into crisis and add pressure on Obama in the final stretch of a tight presidential election campaign. ...

“Less than 24 hours after our nation remembered the heinous attacks of September 11, 2001, Americans find their sovereign soil attacked again as more American lives are lost at the hands of intolerant, barbaric, radical Muslims.
United States Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and several embassy staff were murdered late yesterday when suspected religious extremists stormed the United States Consulate in Benghazi. This morning, my condolences and prayers go out to the families of the victims.
Americans need to question whether the deaths of these innocent patriots could have been avoided. The Obama Administration touted the Arab Spring as an awakening of freedom, which we now see is a nightmare of Islamism.
Even more concerning, is the initial response to these attacks last night from the embassy officials of the Obama Administration was to apologize for a Facebook video that supposedly hurt Muslim feelings. President Obama’s policy of appeasement towards the Islamic world has manifested itself into a specter of unconscionable hatred.

How anyone can believe this President is strong on national security and foreign policy is beyond my comprehension. President Obama has clearly surpassed former President Jimmy Carter and his actions during the Iranian Embassy crisis as the weakest and most ineffective person to ever occupy the White House
as "enemies", sending a clear signal that he will try to engage in the age old economic
stimulus of sending our children off to die so our corporations can build some more
military hardware and all will be well.
Mormons are somewhat like Islamics, believing that dead people are suspended somewhere between Heaven and earth and given "choices" of where they want to reside. In that way one needs not have a regret about creating death, just speeding up the trip to a great place where there are no jobs and no need to ever work again. Romney said he could "create twelve million jobs" and I suppose if he started a couple of wars and forced all healthy citizens into uniform to fight and die, there would be a large number of jobs available.
Besides it was directed at obama and hillary, not America
