#1 He said he would continue to "regard Israel as a valued ally..."

Translation: "Kinda like South Vietnam. Hope your small boats aren't quite so leaky."

#3 I dunno, OS...what worries me most about the Obamessiah is that he might be the opposite of emptyheaded. I think he's a hard-left radical with a very firm agenda and a roadmap of how to get there. And he has a cadre of supporters who've been waiting for this moment since 1968. Not the gasping hordes that show up at his rallies - I'm talking about the Sixties radicals, leftist financiers, poverty pimps and rabble rousers who form his braintrust. If he gets elected, he'll know he has two years to set his plans in concrete with the aid of what's likely to be an overwhelmingly Quislingcrat Congress. If he succeeds, the US becomes a de facto one-party state.

#4 I came to the same conclusion as Ricky about two months ago. When he appeared to be an empty suit, he was bad enough. When I figured out that he was the great Gramscian bullet aimed at the heart of authentic America, I really got worried.

#5 Yah, with a sweep of his hands he will rid Gaza, south Lebanon and the West Bank of all missiles.

Obama: define "legitimate difficulties."

#6 He will make sure the Jews can't defend themselves and feel all guilty if they try, starting a new holocaust. But afterwords there would be peace, right? I mean, the Arabs are only violent because of the Jews and before Israel was created they lived in harmony and held hands and sang Kumbiah, right?

#7 Ye well. The Jews outlasted Paraohs, and Nazis. Somehow, we'll survive Karl-Freidrich-Vladimir-Yosip ibn Hussein Obama.

#8 Obama said he would plunge into Mideast peacemaking, where efforts have failed for decades, warning there were no quick solutions.
