Netanyahu and Obama satire

November 9, 2009 - 10:23 AM | by: Michael Tobin

It is unprecedented that an Israeli Prime Minister jumped on board a plane headed to the US, hoping for a meeting with the US President but nothing on the books. That is exactly what happened yesterday when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boarded the private jet, his staff on board and no guarantee US President Barack Obama would not snub him. This frost on the relationship is related to Netanyahu’s defiant disregard for President Obama’s call to freeze settlement construction. The two never seemed to like each other much before that. Now with the Palestinian situation degrading once again, Netanyahu could use some support.

In the end, the meeting was booked for Monday evening. But the folly did not escape the rapier like pen of Israel’s political cartoonists. The Cartoon in Yedioth Ahronoth depicts Prime Minister Netanyahu and his wife Sarah, popping by the White House. The caption translates to, “We were just in the Neighborhood.”
Haaretz Newspaper shows the Prime Minister telling the Taxi driver, “Wait here, I’m not sure they are home.”

Re: "First of all, Obama is not an American ( not U.S. born citizen)." He was born in Hawaii, as his official birth certificate, the facts on which were twice confirmed by the officials in Hawaii, shows. The Wall Street Journal commented: "Obama has already provided a legal birth certificate demonstrating that he was born in Hawaii. No one has produced any serious evidence to the contrary. Absent such evidence, it is unreasonable to deny that Obama has met the burden of proof. We know that he was born in Honolulu as surely as we know that Bill Clinton was born in Hope, Ark., or George W. Bush in New Haven, Conn."

Things in politics haven't been never easy. Worst at this time.Presidente Obama is trying to "deserve" the Nobel prize giving to him for free. We can never abandon Israel. On the other hand some of our "allies" are Muslins: Irak, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,Qater,Kuwait,Turkey, etc. At the end, some Palestinian's demandas are not feasable, like the return of millions of them living now in camps in Egypt,Jordan,Syria & Libanon. Also Jerusalem should be Jewish forever (I'm a Christian). Muslins apparently look always for an excuse not to grant Israel the right to exists. We need to talk clearly... but "politically right" policies attempt against that since ever... Let's pray for Israel and for the Muslin world to be reasonably leaving in peace a reality...AMEN.

It is always best to lean on His word. Everything is unfolding just as He planned and it according to His timeline. NOTHING we do now can reverse what has been set in motion. All we can do at this point is draw closer to Him and continue to be a light unto the world.

Why are you people so surprised that Obama is who he is when you were told of the people that he hung out with before he was elected, he is who he is so we have to live with him or get him out of office. Some of you should have thought a littie harder before you voted for him, next time think before you vote

OBAMA is a Jack...plain and simple. For a President, he has no clue.

Not all of Israel is Israel. I used to view the Israeli people as though they were all God's Elect, or in the process of being. The blinders came off and I see the majority of the Israeli people as being no different than America, Germany, or any other major power. I suspect that the number of Israeli that are God's elect are as few and far between as are Christians. (no matter how hard the christians try to persuade each other that their faith is 'the right denomination) Sadly, the ties between America and Israel and many, many countries around the world are such that those in the know wouldn't want to lean too heavily on any country these days, and yes, that means their own also.

Below is a description of the Moslem Nation. This is not religious, it is political. The battle is the Lords. Ge 16:11 The angel of the LORD also said to her: “You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard of your misery. Ge 16:12 He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers. ”

First of all, Obama is not an American ( not U.S. born citizen).Meaning he shouldn't be President in the first place. Second, the issues between Palestine and Israel dates back to the sons of Isaac(who was the son of Abraham): Esau and Jacob. Those two brothers became Edom and Israel; Edom is present day Palestine. They claim to serve the same God however The Lord promised Israel the the land because of the sin of Edom. In fact while Israel was in Egypt in slavery, Edom was occupying the promised land. But when the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt and into the promised land he told the nation of Israel to kill and remove everyone from the promised land, including Edom. So they did. unfortunately the nation of Isreal sinned and was carried off as slaves into other countries. When they repented they were allowed to go back and rebuild. they were still rebuilding when the Lord Jesus Christ was born. they did not believe he was the messaiah and had him nailed to a cross which had been Gods plan ever since Adam sinned in the garden. After Jesus died the Lord had chosen for a different group of people to carry His name around the world: Christians. But he still left a promise with Israel, that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those that curse Israel will be cursed. and so, Palestine is in shambles...America(up to this point) has been the world's superpower. hmmm. to me its quite simple support Israel and you have God's support; bash Israel and treat them like trash and the Lord will make sure you feel the hurt.

It is what it is........Obama is in office because the people voted him in. It isn't because he is "black". He is MIXED!!!!!! Everything happens for a reason and nothing is a surprize to our Lord. We have entered into the final days and Obama is simply going to lead us to the end much faster. He has the spirit of the anti-christ on him and that is what many people are seeing. However, Israel is still the apple of God's eye and no weapon formed against her shall prosper. Pray for peace in Israel. Open your eyes and recognize the sign of the times. Press in to the Lord like never before and take a stand against the enemy!

I am sick and tired of you people crying "racist" every time someone disagrees with Obama!!!! When African Americans disagreed with Bush nobody cried "rasist". Quit being babies!!! It is troubling having an American president hanging with RADICAL people who hate our country. Remember the church that Obama attended before he was president and the hateful words that spewed from the reverends mouth, and the too many other troubling things that would take me forever to mention. Come on!!! If they don't like our country leave!!!!

In Christianity, or Judaism (biblical Judaism, at least), the Messiah says that: "by their fruits you shall know them.." a fig tree won't put forth apples, a rose bush won't grow tulips... Nor will a believer in Biblical values believe in abortion, or marriage being between one woman and one man. (yes there was polygamy in the Bible as well as sexual immorality, not because they were condoned, but because those things were behaviors sometimes even expressed by those of faith) believers know that knowing when Life begins or that marriage between a man and a woman is a sacred thing, these are not above our "pay grade". by Obama's fruit, you shall know him. He may not be a Muslim, but he is sure as hell, NOT a christian... He, like all liberals, is a God-denying, absolutes-denying, relativistic, HUMANIST.

I feel as if I must write about this article. How horrible O's treatment of our "allies" from the very beginning. Maybe I'm wrong, but if a friend of mine came to my home, I'm pretty sure I would take the time to find out what was needed from me! I feel I read enough news from all outlets that I can make an informed decision about the world around me. I still feel at this time that the Jews are constantly attaked and are reserved in the retatliation. How many times would it take for your neighbor to lash out at you before you wanted to beat the s*** out of him? I'm sure almost everyone has had an annoying neighbor...how about the ones surrounding Isreal? I just can't imagine what life must be like for the people living there. Yet still they get up, go to school, go to work, and live thier life. I wish the Jews of Isreal peace and prosperity. I support Isreal, you are most of America's friend. I imagine the current president and his HORRIBLE policies and cronies will be gone soon, just hold on a while longer.

Obama, Pelosi, Reed, and Biden are four reasons stupid and ignorant people should NOT be allowed to vote!

We stand with Israel to the end. May G=d bless Israel and the Netanyahu as he leads the people against all world powers. He has G-d on his side so he really needs no one else, least of all Obama. The majority of America is with Israel.

I think part of the problem with the credibility of the dissatisfied group here is that a year ago you were complaining about the birth certificate, or that you thought Obama was a muslim, or that he knew Bill Ayers. I know there's no convincing you to move on but face it - most of you will actually benefit from his proposals. I think it's probably subconscious racism, or a deeply ingrained fear mentality that keeps you from envisioning a better America and a better world.

marcus, anyone can say they are Christian.

Wow, still won't that Obama is not a christian / he's a muslim. I was going to say something about growing up, but it's difficult to undo a lifetime of racism in one internet post.
