In an interview last week with Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic concerning Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon, President Obama said, “I think that the Israeli government recognizes that, as president of the United States, I don’t bluff.”
Remember when President Obama told House Majority Leader Eric Cantor last summer, “Eric, don’t call my bluff”?
If I’m Bibi Netanyahu, I don’t find much assurance in Obama’s statement.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

"If I'm Bibi Netanyahu..."
Ha, you wish were Bibi, Tel Aviv Aaron.
[N]eo-conservatism, in large part, is simply about enabling the most irredentist elements in Israel and sustaining a permanent war against anyone or any country who disagrees with the Israeli right [...] But America is not Israel. And once that distinction is made, much of the neoconservative ideology collapses. Andrew Sullivan

Taking quotations from the insane is not a good way to argue your position convincingly. Then again, since you appear to be an insane anti-semite yourself, what the hell, go for it.
Conservative Not Republican| 3.5.12 @ 5:08PM
Hey Fletch. You sound like Al Sharpton. Any one with a different opinion is a racist. How lame you are. Is Sullivan insane because he's gay? Does that make you lame and a homophobe or are you a latent homosexual too?
Douglas Fletcher | 3.6.12 @ 5:34AM
Gee you're too clever by half. Go listen to Hugh Hewitt's interview of Sullivan from a few years back and tell me he's sane, if reading his fantasy excursions into the nature of Sarah Palin's reproductive organs isn't enough to make you question his grip on reality.

yep, when I want to make a compelling argument, I ALWAYS post a quote from a moron

I tried that playing poker with friends. "Hey, don't call my bluff!"
It never works.

"If I'm Bibi Netanyahu, I don't find much assurance in Obama's statement."
No reassurance, you're probably right, but confirmation that we have a lying backstabber for directing our foreign policy.

Get use to it Goldstein, you helped Obama get another four years and opened the door for him.
Stop whining about what he is doing.
pete | 3.7.12 @ 2:02AM
Which simply means that Obama with all his fancy rhetoric needs to put his brain into gear before he opens his mouth or at least remember some of his prior comments. Of course telling the truth always means that one does not have to remember what one said before. The truth is always the same.
