Obama calls Israel, Egypt after Gaza strikes
In his call with Morsi — who on Wednesday recalled the Egyptian ambassador to Israel and condemned the Israeli strikes — Obama stressed Israel’s right to defend itself and condemned the Hamas rocket attacks.
“The two leaders agreed on the importance of working to de-escalate the situation as quickly as possible and agreed to stay in close touch in the days ahead,” the White House said.

Because jihads never lie.

Yeah.
That’s what he did.
He didn’t say “Don’t do anything! I’ll get Bibi to stop! Just don’t do anything”!
No. He didn’t plead for Morsi to keep the jihadi’s from launching across the border.
He talked tough for Israel.
Pleaze.
Is this guy even going to make it to inauguration day before societal collapse?

Politico got that from a White House readout. We know this WH always speaks honestly and courageously.

Why the hell does HotGas continually link to the lapdog Propaganda Arm(s) of the Obama administration/Liberal ilk and their crapola?

“Hello, Israel? Can you please stand down until I can get a chance to go over there and talk peace? Thanks.”
“Hello, Egypt? Israel is standing down. Attack NOW.”

If he actually called Israel, did they tell him off? They did what they had to do.

Another apology for that youtube clip should do the trick.

Since the original ad seems to have been taken down: It was an ad for the “little blue bill” with caption “Who’s the fake?” with an arrow pointing to the article about Hillary.

And what will be the Russian Response?
Powder keg meet lit match.

Barky to Israel – Suck it up, monkeys.
Barky to Morsi – Brother Mohammed, well done – let me know if you need any more weapons.

The differences between the Israelis & the Palestinians:
Israel has its military posts away from their civilian populations.
The Palestinians hide their military posts among their populations.
Israel tries to only attack their enemy’s military.
The Palestinians try to attack their enemy’s civilians.
Captured Palestinians get good treatment, even medical care.
Captured Israelis get torture.
Yet Obama thinks they’re equal US allies.

Let me guess:
obama to Israel: “STAND DOWN … and die already.”

Did Obama pick up the phone and call the leaders of Gaza and tell them to stop their rocket attacks on Israel. of course not. Will Obama tell Israel’s foes that we will be there to help Israel, of course not. Obama, the worst United States president since President Buchanan who was elected in 1856, worse than even Jimmy Carter. A widespread war is looming in the Middle East. No one is willing to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Islamic extremism is on the rise and there is no end of such a rise in sight.

That is all any president is going to have once the United States military is neutered by Obama and our soon to be new Secretary of Defense, Senator John Kerry.
