#1 The US president takes pride in his administration's having contributed the most generous cash handouts to the Israeli regime in history, despite the dire economic conditions dominating the global scene.

Money isn't a substitute for love, unless you come from the Chicago political scene, I guess.

Hint to Obean: The rest of the world isn't Chicago.

#2 "No US administration has done more in support of Israel's security than ours. None.

Jobs created or saved.

#3 He really does always think he's the smartest man in the room. A good thing for his ego he isn't capable of noticing otherwise.
Can't wait for the Gingrich debate. Don't know which but somebody's head is gonna explode.

#5 Marxists don't feel the way normal people feel about lying.

(a) Modern day leftards are as ignorant of Marx as of everything else.
(b) If they were lying (in the sense of being aware of making untrue statements) we could work some sort of modus vivendi with them. Unfortunately, they really believe everything they say.

#6 The US president was due to meet with the Israeli Minister for Military Affairs Ehud Barak on the sidelines of the Jewish community conference

The conversation won't be about 'defense'.

#7 Interesting note in the opening paragraphs of the Jerusalem Post article:

US President Barack Obama courted Jewish voters and defended his record on Israel in a fiery keynote address to the Union for Reform Judaism outside Washington, DC on Friday.

"No US administration has done more in support of Israel's security than ours. None. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. It is a fact," Obama said forcefully, his voice betraying hints of frustration at having to defend his record in the face of sharp criticism of his Israel policy.

Even in a group of liberal Jews, the president isn't getting the response he is accustomed to.

#9 Congress controls the money flows, other than certain discretionary spending allowances.

Can anyone think of a single thing that BHO did to secure persecuted Hindus, Buddhists, Christians or Jews during his tenure?

#10 It is not a sin for a muslim to lie to an infidel.

Hence Mr. Empty Suit's insistence on wild flights of fantasy when he discusses anything he's done over the last two tedious years.

Last week the WaPo gave Baraq three "Pinocchio's" for playing fast and loose with facts...I wonder what they would say about this? Four? Five? SIX even?

Netanyahu probably spit water all over his desk when he read this...
