The President and Benjamin Netanyahu meet this morning to discuss the Iranian nuclear threat. What will the president say in this election year? We will report later on this important question. The video below is a bit long but serves as background on the Presidents overall stance on Israel.
This is good, actually its great in its construction, but I noticed that this video recycled on sentence quite a bit about Israel needing to stop building apartments in the contested zone. I also noticed some of the commentary went back several years. At the end I had the feeling it was more contrived than factual, although it portrayed several disturbing facts…I think it was created more for an election than for news. Just my opinion, but it was still interesting and worth watching. -Jack
I also rec’d this in the e-mail was getting ready to post the URL. I was also struck by the expressions on Obama’s face and his stance. Very arrogant and dictatorial.
I agree with the repition comment but it is a compilation of different times.
I think it was meant to chronicle, in time line fashion, the many times when Obama took the opportunity to hit Israel while being friendly to her enemies. It is a myth that Obama has been supportive of Israel. His comments today were for the cameras and American Jewish voters in an election year. Israel has been a good friend to America…I can’t say the same for Hamas, Iran, Hezbolah…

Barton Calls Obama Americas Most Biblically-Hostile U.S. President
by Billy Hallowell
Is President Barack Obama Americas most Biblically-hostile U.S. president? This is the label that conservative historian David Bardon has given Obama, as the nation continues its debate over the presidents controversial contraceptive mandate.
But for Barton, the situation transcends the current discussion about religious freedom and the Catholic Church, as the frequent guest on Glenn Becks radio and television shows develops his provocative argument in detail. He writes:
When one observes President Obamas unwillingness to accommodate Americas four-century long religious conscience protection through his attempts to require Catholics to go against their own doctrines and beliefs, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Catholic. But that characterization would not be correct. Although he has recently singled out Catholics, he has equally targeted traditional Protestant beliefs over the past four years. So since he has attacked Catholics and Protestants, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Christian. But that, too, would be inaccurate. He has been equally disrespectful in his appalling treatment of religious Jews in general and Israel in particular. So perhaps the most accurate description of his antipathy toward Catholics, Protestants, religious Jews, and the Jewish nation would be to characterize him as anti-Biblical. And then when his hostility toward Biblical people of faith is contrasted with his preferential treatment of Muslims and Muslim nations, it further strengthens the accuracy of the anti-Biblical descriptor. In fact, there have been numerous clearly documented times when his pro-Islam positions have been the cause of his anti-Biblical actions.
Barton then goes on to list, in chronological order, the presidents purported attacks in the following sections:
(1) numerous records of his attacks on Biblical persons or organizations; (2) examples of the hostility toward Biblical faith that have become evident in the past three years in the Obama-led military; (3) a listing of his open attacks on Biblical values; and finally (4) a listing of numerous incidents of his preferential deference for Islams activities and positions, including letting his Islamic advisors guide and influence his hostility toward people of Biblical faith.
Parts One and Two can be read, below:
1. Acts of hostility toward people of Biblical faith:
April 2008 Obama speaks disrespectfully of Christians, saying they cling to guns or religion and have an antipathy to people who arent like them.
February 2009 Obama announces plans to revoke conscience protection for health workers who refuse to participate in medical activities that go against their beliefs, and fully implements the plan in February 2011.
April 2009 When speaking at Georgetown University, Obama orders that a monogram symbolizing Jesus name be covered when he is making his speech.
May 2009 Obama declines to host services for the National Prayer Day (a day established by federal law) at the White House.
April 2009 In a deliberate act of disrespect, Obama nominated three pro-abortion ambassadors to the Vatican; of course, the pro-life Vatican rejected all three.
October 19, 2010 Obama begins deliberately omitting the phrase about the Creator when quoting the Declaration of Independence an omission he has made on no less than seven occasions.
November 2010 Obama misquotes the National Motto, saying it is E pluribus unum rather than In God We Trust as established by federal law.
January 2011 After a federal law was passed to transfer a WWI Memorial in the Mojave Desert to private ownership, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that the cross in the memorial could continue to stand, but the Obama administration refused to allow the land to be transferred as required by law, and refused to allow the cross to be re-erected as ordered by the Court.
February 2011 Although he filled posts in the State Department, for more than two years Obama did not fill the post of religious freedom ambassador, an official that works against religious persecution across the world; he filled it only after heavy pressure from the public and from Congress.
April 2011 For the first time in American history, Obama urges passage of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring protections for religious groups, forcing religious organizations to hire according to federal mandates without regard to the dictates of their own faith, thus eliminating conscience protection in hiring.
August 2011 The Obama administration releases its new health care rules that override religious conscience protections for medical workers in the areas of abortion and contraception.
November 2011 Obama opposes inclusion of President Franklin Roosevelts famous D-Day Prayer in the WWII Memorial.
November 2011 Unlike previous presidents, Obama studiously avoids any religious references in his Thanksgiving speech.
December 2011 The Obama administration denigrates other countries religious beliefs as an obstacle to radical homosexual rights.
January 2012 The Obama administration argues that the First Amendment provides no protection for churches and synagogues in hiring their pastors and rabbis.
February 2012 The Obama administration forgives student loans in exchange for public service, but announces it will no longer forgive student loans if the public service is related to religion.
2. Acts of hostility from the Obama-led military toward people of Biblical faith:
June 2011 The Department of Veterans Affairs forbids references to God and Jesus during burial ceremonies at Houston National Cemetery.
August 2011 The Air Force stops teaching the Just War theory to officers in California because the course is taught by chaplains and is based on a philosophy introduced by St. Augustine in the third century AD a theory long taught by civilized nations across the world (except America).
September 2011 Air Force Chief of Staff prohibits commanders from notifying airmen of programs and services available to them from chaplains.
September 2011 The Army issues guidelines for Walter Reed Medical Center stipulating that No religious items (i.e. Bibles, reading materials and/or facts) are allowed to be given away or used during a visit.
November 2011 The Air Force Academy rescinds support for Operation Christmas Child, a program to send holiday gifts to impoverished children across the world, because the program is run by a Christian charity.
November 2011 The Air Force Academy pays $80,000 to add a Stonehenge-like worship center for pagans, druids, witches and Wiccans.
February 2012 The U. S. Military Academy at West Point disinvites three star Army general and decorated war hero Lieutenant General William G. (Jerry) Boykin (retired) from speaking at an event because he is an outspoken Christian.
February 2012 The Air Force removes God from the patch of Rapid Capabilities Office (the word on the patch was in Latin: Dei).
February 2012 The Army orders Catholic chaplains not to read a letter to parishioners that their archbishop asked them to read.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Barton_(author)
David Barton (born 1954) is an American evangelical Christian minister,[1] conservative activist, and author. He founded WallBuilders, a Texas-based organization with a goal of exposing the claimed US constitutional separation of church and state as a myth.[2][3] Barton is the former co-chair of the Republican Party of Texas.
“And then when his hostility toward Biblical people of faith is contrasted with his preferential treatment of Muslims and Muslim nations,”
Apparently to Barton, “preferential treatment of Muslim nations” looks a lot like “bombing the shit out of them.”
Does the LA Times have a tape of Obama toasting a terrorist supporter or not? If they do it should be made available to the public now.

The L.A. Times Suppresses Obamas Khalidi Bash Tape
Obama, Ayers, and PLO supporters toast Edward Said’s successor, but the press doesn’t think it’s quite as newsworthy as Sarah Palin’s wardrobe.
…”Why is the Los Angeles Times sitting on a videotape of the 2003 farewell bash in Chicago at which Barack Obama lavished praise on the guest of honor, Rashid Khalidi former mouthpiece for master terrorist Yasser Arafat?
At the time Khalidi, a PLO adviser turned University of Chicago professor, was headed east to Columbia. There he would take over the Universitys Middle East-studies program (which he has since maintained as a bubbling cauldron of anti-Semitism) and assume the professorship endowed in honor of Edward Sayyid, another notorious terror apologist.
The party featured encomiums by many of Khalidis allies, colleagues, and friends, including Barack Obama, then an Illinois state senator, and Bill Ayers, the terrorist turned education professor. It was sponsored by the Arab American Action Network (AAAN), which had been founded by Khalidi and his wife, Mona, formerly a top English translator for Arafats press agency.”
