How many liberals does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None. They prefer to stay in the dark.

Into my inbox last week popped an email from Michelle Obama. "Thank you for an amazing week… Can you chip in $5 or more to stand with Barack today?"
For some reason, I have been on the Obama campaign mailing list for the past four years -- which is a hoot since, from the get-go, I have warned about Obama's extremist, Black-Power, Israel-hating background and circle, and that he would be a disaster for Israel and the west.
So it has proved. Yet astoundingly there are Jews who believe he has been the most Israel-friendly US president in history.
Which only goes to show the propensity of the liberal mind to outright hallucination when faced with the implosion of its shibboleths. The passion for Israel in the Bible-believing "red states" guarantees a level of support that not even the most virulent White House anti-Zionist could overturn.
But that doesn't mean a president can't undermine Israel by more circuitous means - as Obama has done. He has put Israel at grievous risk by his view of the world, which has neutralised America's power abroad and strengthened its enemies.
Although we are told he wants to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, his limp dealings have allowed it to continue inexorably with its nuclear programme (despite reports of sabotage) and extend its power in the region.
Last week, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton refused to issue a "red line" threat of ultimate force on the grounds that "negotiations are the best approach". But as Bibi protested in the row with Obama that boiled over this week, that allows Iran a clear run to the bomb. By the time the US decides Iran has to be forcibly stopped, it will be too late. It will already have the bomb.
Second, the Obama administration has consistently distanced America from Israel and cozied up instead to its Arab and Muslim attackers. Thus it backed the 2010 nuclear non-proliferation summit that singled out Israel for condemnation while excluding Iran from criticism - and has worked behind the scenes to neutralise Israel's nuclear deterrent, its ultimate defence against genocide.
It went ahead with a special operations exercise with 19 Arab and Muslim countries, while excluding Israel from a counter-terrorism conference at Turkey's insistence.
Last July, it invited the UN Commissioner for Human Rights and notorious Israel- critic Navi Pillay to "brief" the Security Council on Israel's supposed crimes - and in the process drew an effective moral equivalence between the behaviour of Israel and Syria.
Obama tried to bounce Israel into withdrawing to its 1949 "Auschwitz borders", pressured it over settlement building, which merely hardened Palestinian rejectionism, and failed to hold Mahmoud Abbas responsible for repeatedly declaring he would never accept Israel as a Jewish state.
Meanwhile, last week's Democratic convention descended into farce when its panicky attempt to restore references deleted from the party's programme to God, and to Jerusalem as Israel's capital, was booed.
Whether they were booing God, Jerusalem or the clearly out-of-order chairman is irrelevant. There was not even a two-thirds majority to put both deletions back into that Obama-centric programme - which still left out the party's previous rejection of Hamas, the Palestinian demand for unlimited immigration to Israel and any return to the 1949 borders.
This is a shocking way to treat an ally. When that ally is facing existential attack, it is unspeakable.
Obama is a menace to the security of Israel and the west and an American tragedy. What is astounding is that so many Jews refuse to see this and continue to support both him and his morally bankrupt Democratic Party. That is the Jewish tragedy.

Obama is a wrecker of all that is good, true and beautiful. The only things this menace should be given are a pair of skids and a jail cell.
Israel is but just one of the nations he considers as having taken from others and thus, they in turn, now deserve taking all from Israel. Consequently, we see the cultivation at American taxpayer expense the radical changes of politics from North Africa through Sudan, Yemen, Syria, Iraq. Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan encroaching upon those remaining powers still aligned with our interests. This residual is being deminished as quickly as possible by Obama seeking to achieve the un-accomplisments he perceives reflects his father's dreams of anti-colonialism. The risk is an United States of Islam with Israel totally encompassed. Thus, Churchill's bust went in Obama's first month of office, removed from the Oval Office, to the resident British Ambassador, where it is presently.
In searching for information on Ms Phillips, I came across a blog opinion appearing in "The Spectator", written by Alex Massie on the 5th of November in 2008, entitled "When lunatics write..."

"I'd wondered how Melanie Philips – Britain's pop-eyed, vein-bulging answer to Andy McCarthy and Stanley Kurtz – might react to the election of Barack Obama. Happily, she doesn't disappoint:
Those of us who have looked on appalled during this most frightening of presidential elections – at the suspension of reason and its replacement by thuggery — can only hope that the way this man governs will be very different from the profile provided by his influences, associations and record to date. It’s a faint hope – the enemies of America, freedom and the west will certainly be rejoicing today…
What this election tells us is that America voted for change because America is in the process of changing – not just demographically by becoming less white and more diverse, but as the result of a culture war in which western civilisation is losing out to a far-left agenda which has become mainstream, teaching American children to despise the founding values of their country and hijacking discourse by the minority power-grab of victim-culture….
Those who have for the past eight years worked to bring down the America that defends and protects life and liberty are today ecstatic. They have stormed the very citadel on Pennsylvania Avenue itself.
Millions of Americans remain lion-hearted, decent, rational and sturdy. They find themselves today abandoned, horrified, deeply apprehensive for the future of their country and the free world. No longer the land of the free and the home of the brave; they must now look elsewhere.
Perhaps the Spectator could send her off to work for National Review?

We now face making a decision of whom we wish to represent us for the next four years, Obama is not worthy of my vote or support.
Things can only get worse...much worse.
ODUMBO has Shown the World, Where His True Aligence Is...The Brotherhood.....
he fails to Call Them Terrorists, He Keeps Appologizing To Them and He Keeps Sending Money To Them, Instead of Cutting Them Off Until THEY, Make Changes in Their Relations With Isreal...
Melanie Phillips and those of her ilk who feel so strongly about this issue will for their own safety and well being pack up and move to a nation that best fits their mindset and living style. God knows we would not want Melanie to have to endure the trials and tribulations of the coming communist regime and the gulags that will be built to house those against the government.
Most, not all of those who oppose Obama suffer from Delusional Paranoia.
I am part of the six percent that look at Washington as being a child's sand box that needs to have adults in charge.
Obama is not hiding his pro-Islamo-Nazi sentiments, BTW. Would you suggest that people cooperate with him in his anti-Israelism?
