It seems that at every opportunity, Obama consistently tells an "anecdote" of how America has been wrong in the past – I’m betting that the ‘bads’ far outweigh the ‘goods’ from his speeches (but I have no intention of going back and counting). He has also said that America should not impose it’s will on any other:
- and tells China that
- and tells Russia that
- and tells Venezuala that
- Not sure about N. Korea, but it’s getting late…
There’s a problem here, though;
Having stated that, hasn’t he meddled in Honduras (favoring the socialist president that was tossed for going against THEIR constitution?
and isn’t he meddling in Israel’s own business, in trying to tell them how to run their country?
President Obama on Wednesday called it "dangerous" that Israel plans to add 900 new apartments to an existing Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem — an area Palestinians hope to claim as their capital absent a peace agreement with Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that building permits were permitted for construction in Gilo for what would be upscale dwellings in the lower-middle class neighborhood.
"The situation in the Middle East is very difficult, and I’ve said repeatedly and I’ll say again, Israel’s security is a vital national interest to the United States, and we will make sure they are secure," Obama told Fox News in an interview in China Wednesday.
Translation – "Don’t you dare put up those 900 apts if you know what’s good for your country"
Seems like Obama is putting himself at risk for going against his own rules (Alinsky’s Rule #4 – Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules). Mr. President, not so hot saying one thing and then doing another.
It makes your poll number drop:
"Although President Obama’s job approval rating is below 50 percent for the first time nationally, it is not statistically different from his 50 percent approval rating in October. Nevertheless, in politics symbols matter and this is not a good symbol for the White House," said Brown. "Moreover, the percentage who approve of the way he is handling the economy has dropped from a split 47 – 46 percent approval in October to 52 – 43 percent disapproval today."
The President has a yawning gender and racial gap, with women approving his job performance 52 – 37 percent, compared to men’s 47 – 44 percent disapproval. He gets 89 percent job approval among blacks and 62 percent approval among Hispanics while white voters disapprove 49 – 41 percent. His support also wanes as you go up the age and income scale.
Increasingly, "Hope and Change" is giving rise to "Shock and Horror" – while many voted for Change, they are increasingly losing faith in The Won as his policies become known, the ramifications of such come to center stage, and people are starting to count the cost to themselves and their families.
At some point, even the elected Democrats are going to notice and start to Change their voting patterns. Remember, the first (and some say, only) job of most politicians is to get re-elected. The Blue Dog Democrats who are at most risk here will have to make a decision: their political futures or the Obama/Pelosi/Reid hard Left/Socialist agenda.
Swords, anyone?
