Bibi's Visit

President Obama met with Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu today, but thus far nothing that has emerged from news reports is very surprising. Obama is pressuring Netanyahu on settlements and Palestinian statehood and Netanyahu is agreeing to immediate peace talks and pushing for a tougher line on Iran. But neither issue is easily resolved: the Palestinian leadership is fractured and there's no viable peace partner -- peace talks will go nowhere anytime soon, even with all of Obama's lofty rhetoric about Netanyahu's "historic oppourtunity." And talking with the Iranians, as Obama plans to, is not going to convince Iran to abandon its nuclear weapons program.

Golly. I guess this means Obama is *NOT* going to make sea level fall, either. Dang. All that hopin' for change, too.

Or make his pastor like Jews...

Since Obammy's pastor hates Jews, you have to wonder how much of his 2o years of hating Jews and whites has rubbed off on Obama. Here is one thing not to do. Dont ask Obama for the answer. That dude does nothing but lie. Bottom line, you cant trust any idiot that sits and listens for twenty years about hating Jews, Whites etc. without finding a more Christlike preacher.
