OBAMA: THE SUICIDE BOMBER'S INTEGRITY - RESPECT THAT!

UPDATE: Got the video much thanks to eretz

The route to peace, he said, begins by trying to "stand in someone else's shoes." (LA Times)

And, he added, “I say the same thing to my Jewish friends, which is you have to see the perspective of the Palestinians. Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes to see through their eyes — that's how peace begins." (Politico)

The Jewish people cannot walk in the shoes of suicide bombers and jihadis. They will never teach their children blood libels, they will never live to die. They will never revere death. They will not make the objective of life murder and violence. Would Truman or Roosevelt have told allied soldiers to walk in the shoes of Nazi soldiers?

Obama did a town hall meeting with the students in Turkey this morning. Here's the full video. Atlas reader Andy heard the last question and said, "listen to the moral equivalence he drew between Israelis who are concerned about being blown up on a bus, and Palestinians who get their feelings hurt when their travel is restricted. Or as he put it, their 'integrity.' Obama spoke as if he sees no difference between a murderous cult and those who try and stop that murderous cult. Palestinian murderers have just as much of a legitimate complaint as does Israelis."

If you can't watch the full video - fast forward to the question and answer. Nothing exposes the plant like an off the teleprompter, no note Q & A, showing he's a dangerous maroon. Uh uh uh...

Here's the transcript:

QUESTION: I thank you for the opportunity to ask you a question. Right now I am in the Turkish language and literature faculty of this university. How do you assess the Prime Minister's attitude in Davos? Had you been in the same situation, would you have reacted the same way?

If you missed the "Davos moment" - when the Prime Minister of Turkey walked on the President of Israel - view it here: DAVOS: ISRAEL SPEAKS ELOQUENTLY, TURKEY STORMS OUT

OBAMA: Well, first of all, I think very highly of your Prime Minister. I've had a chance now to talk with him first in London. I had spoken to him on the phone previously, but we had the opportunity to meet in London during the G-20, and then we've been obviously having a number of visits while I've been here in Turkey.

And so I think that he is a good man who is very interested in promoting peace in the region and takes great pride I believe in trying to help work through the issues between Israel and its neighbors. And Turkey has a long history of being an ally and a friend of both Israel and its neighbors. And so it can occupy a unique position in trying to resolve some of these differences.

I wasn't at Davos so I don't want to offer an opinion about how he responded and what prompted his reaction. I will say this -- that I believe that peace in the Middle East is possible. I think it will be based on two states, side by side: a Palestinian state and a Jewish state. I think in order to achieve that, both sides are going to have to make compromises.

I think we have a sense of what those compromises should be and will be. Now what we need is political will and courage on the part of leadership. And it is not the United States' role or Turkey's role to tell people what they have to do, but we can be good friends in encouraging them to move the dialogue forward.

I have to believe that the mothers of Palestinians and the mothers of Israelis hope the same thing for their children. 

They want them not to be vulnerable to violence. They don't want, when their child gets on a bus, to worry that that bus might explode. They don't want their child to have to suffer indignities because of who they are. And so sometimes I think that if you just put the mothers in charge for a while, that things would get resolved. And it's that spirit of thinking about the future and not the past that I just talked about earlier that I think could help advance the peace process, because if you look at the situation there, over time I don't believe it's sustainable.

It's not sustainable for Israel's security because as populations grow around them, if there is more and more antagonism towards Israel, over time that will make Israel less secure.

It's not sustainable for the Palestinians because increasingly their economies are unable to produce the jobs and the goods and the income for people's basic quality of life.

Their job is jihad.

In the same breath, not 5 minutes before he said this:

I agree that Al Qaida is an enormous threat not just to the United States but to the world. I have no sympathy and I have no patience for people who would go around blowing up innocent people for a political cause. I don't believe in that.

A double standard for the Jews?

The NY Times here:

During a question-and-answer session with university students here, Mr. Obama said that he still believes that “peace in the Middle East is possible. I think it will be based on two states side by side,” he said.

“What we need,” Mr. Obama said, “is political will and courage on the part of the leadership.”

That's rich. Obambi preaching courage.

His comments come a day after he publicly repudiated statements from Israel’s hawkish new foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, that agreements reached at an American-sponsored peace conference in Annapolis, Md., in 2007 have “no validity.”

Speaking before the Turkish parliament on Monday, Mr. Obama said that Palestinian statehood was “a goal that the parties agreed to in the roadmap and at Annapolis. That is a goal that I will actively pursue as president.”

A terror state to commit the second holocaust. Yes, that's it - that's the peace.

Introduced as “Barack Hussein Obama,” the president told the assembly that he planned to push for a two-state solution in the Middle East, despite the view of many foreign policy experts that such a goal will be even more difficult to reach because of the makeup of the new Israeli government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, not to mention the fractured state of internal Palestinian politics.

Israel does not answer to Obama or the soon to be defunct NY Times. They speak only to the survival of the Jewish people.

“In his remarks today in Ankara, President Obama missed a valuable opportunity to honor his public pledge to recognize the Armenian genocide,” Aram Hamparian, executive director of the Armenian National Committee of America, said in a statement.

Mr. Obama’s remarks, he said, fell “far short of the clear promise he made as a candidate that he would, as president, fully and unequivocally recognize this crime against humanity.”

During the Parliament speech, Mr. Obama did speak of the Armenia issue, saying, “History is often tragic, but unresolved, it can be a heavy weight.”

Coward.

He said that the United States “still struggles with the legacies of slavery and segregation, the past treatment of Native Americans.”

Dragging out those old racist canards. The man is President - keep talking about slavery in the US. That's rich.

VIDEO Part I

minute 3:23  "America has become  "selfish" "crass "  -  the country that Zero knows.

"America has made mistakes and has its flaws" - frankly, the only one mistake I can think of is his presidency. Do you hear any other world leader talk about their country the way this thief-in-the-night does? On foreign soil no less. Have you seen any other leader trashing his country everywhere he goes?

And the terror loving media picks up on it immediately. Here is AP's take:

Obama said that despite its flaws and past mistakes, the United States is poised for a fresh start with Muslims and the rest of the world" 

Did he apologize for 911 yet?

Part II

Notice how he keeps saying, "peoples and countries, through no fault of their own, are being very hard hit by the world economic crisis" (minute .15) - implying of course that it's the US's fault. He does this deliberately. He did this in London too. Blamed America for the world "global crisis". He wants the world to blame us. He wants to drum up anger and hate and fuel the anarchy in the streets toward the US.

"Simple exchanges can break down walls between us". He thinks he's G-d.

Obama ends Europe trip with tour of Istanbul mosque He's got it assbackwards.

US President Barack Obama visited a landmark mosque in Istanbul on Tuesday, following strong messages of US reconciliation with the Islamic world on his maiden trip to a mainly Muslim country.

BTW, can the man answer a fookin question? What a blowhard. The girl from Hungary lobbed him a  nerfball (not even a softball).

Perhaps if he wants to dredge up America's slave past, he should bring up his own Arab slave trader ancestors, front and center in the slave trade from Mo's time to the present.

[moderationist]

Ancestral hate mongering is a two edged sword. Black America's ancestors in black Africa sold their fellow Africans into slavery as well.

[Harcourt Fenton]

This from today's BBB Online:

"Police kill Palestinian motorist

The Palestinian man tried to drive his car into a police checkpoint
Israeli police have shot dead a Palestinian motorist in East Jerusalem who tried to run over officers guarding the demolition of a home."

Don't they mean "contingencist"? That is the new word for "terrorist" these days, isn't it.

How many people would survive driving into a NY City police checkpoint? Even for the BBC, this is too much!

[clyde]

Apparently all this asshole does is make speeches, leaving the government in the capable hands of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

I am SO sick of watching this clueless empty suit blather on a daily basis on any and everything, surrounded by dozens of teleprompters. God. Four more years of this crap.

[JP]

***keep talking about slavery in the US. That's rich.***

He's parroting exactly what Rev. Wright preached, just without the screaming. His rant about America being arrogant and needing to change was straight from a Rev. Wright sermon. Rev. Wright always, always ranted about the atrocities in our country's history. Race-baiting militants like Obama and Wright would have no power without that strategy. They have nothing else to offer except victimhood.

There is NO QUESTION that Palestinian BITCH will raise that little Bastard to be a Murderer.

I won't call them contingentist. They seem like they could be community organizers though by definition

HAVANA -- Fidel Castro met Tuesday with three members of the Congressional Black Caucus, the former Cuban president's first known meeting with American officials since he fell ill in July 2006.

Rep. Barbara Lee, a California Democrat, and two other lawmakers met with the ailing, 82-year-old Castro, according to a statement released by the communist leader.

Lee led a delegation of six Democratic representatives who left Havana Tuesday after a five-day trip designed to encourage dialogue between the United States and Cuba, amid much speculation long-chilly relations may improve.

The U.S. delegation -- all Democrats -- included Lee and Reps. Mel Watt of North Carolina, Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri, Marcia Fudge of Ohio, Mike Honda and Laura Richardson of California and Bobby Rush of Illinois. All are also member of the Congressional Black Caucus except Honda.

Castro issued a statement saying that one member of the delegation, who he does not name, described American society as "racist" and said that former Secretary of State Colin Powell could have been president but his family rightly talked him out of it because of fear that he would be assassinated like Martin Luther King, Jr. was.

Castro said that one unnamed member of the delegation told him that Obama "can not go beyond liberalizing travel and allowing remittances by Cuban-Americans, because proclaiming the lifting of the blockade or the full normalization of bilateral relations could mean the impossibility for him to be re-elected. Besides, he reaffirmed that the anti-Cuban right wing still has enough power to corner him and prevent his re-election," Castro said.

"He said that the United States “still struggles with the legacies of slavery and segregation, the past treatment of Native Americans.”

I am not struggling with his legacies. I have an ex sister in law that is of native American heritage and many friends of color. Perhaps if assholes like Osama....err.....Obama would stop bringing up racial hatred there would be a lot less of it.

Hey folks want to do something about it?

The man is a usurper, and everyone needs to get involved to have U.S. Attorney Taylor bring a quo warranto suit in Washington D.C. on Obama's eligibility. Since he has been sworn in as President this is the only avenue left to us. He cannot be impeached unless he commits a crime in office. And only the US Attorney or the Attorney General have standing to bring suit on Obama’s eligibility. And don’t count on Attorney General Holden. Needless to say, he has a conflict of interest as Obama appointed him.

Leo Donofrio has done all the legal work. Check out how you can get involved at his website Natural born citizen.
http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/

Leo has researched in depth exactly what natural born citizen means.

It means you have to be born to American Citizens in the jurisdiction of the United States.

In other words, both your parents have to be naturalized before you are born, and you have to be born in the United States or one of it's territories.

Obama's father was a British subject at his birth, as Kenya was still one of Britain's colonies in 1961. That gives Obama dual citizenship at birth.

That means Obama is not a natural born citizen.

The framers put that clause in our Constitution to prevent foreign influence in our Executive Branch of Government, because they were going to allow immigrants access to all other branches of government, so as not to create a second class citizenry. They wanted naturalized citizens to have all the rights and benefits as native born or natural born citizens, but at the same time realized the Executive Branch needed a Citizen that was completely devoted to the nation with absolutely no foreign influence, hence the natural born clause. This was only one of two posts in government that an immigrant, or their children if they were born before they became citizens, were not allowed to process. The other post is Vice President.

Everything that Obama is, is what the framers were afraid of. He has ties to many foreign entities and he cares little about America.

Leo Donofrio brought one of the cases, Donofrio v. Wells, that reached the US Supreme Court and was denied without comment, and helped prepare a second one, Wrotnowski v. Connecticut Secretary of State, that was also denied without comment, that came before the Court immediately after his case.

I don't need to tell you that you don't get a hearing before the full court without merit. Why these cases didn’t get a open court hearing is anybody’s guess. But the Supreme Court decided to punt rather than do the right thing.

So if you want to get involved I suggest you go to Leo's site to see how you can help.

Complaining about it on a blog does nothing.

And by the way, when he is found to be a usurper, every single thing he has done is completely null and void because he never was a legal President.

Now it makes clear why this man is moving so fast about everything he does, doesn’t it?

He claims to be a Constitutional Professor, he knows his time could be limited. He knows he is not natural born.

[08hayabusa]

Now that he is President the only avenue to us is the Attorney General or the US Attorney.
The Supreme Court can not remove him because of the separation of powers requirement of the Constitution. Only Congress can remove a sitting President. And it can only be done through impeachment or Quo Warranto due to ineligibility. When he was Obama the candidate the Supreme Court could have disqualified him but they chose to punt on some technicality without bothering to explain why.

His Birth Certificate would only be important if he was not born in Hawaii. What disqualifies him is the fact his father was a British subject, which also made him a British subject which means he’s not a natural born citizen.

It really doesn’t take a lot of research to come to that conclusion either. The Constitution itself explains that there are two kinds of citizens at it’s adoption.

No person except a natural born citizen, OR A CITIZEN AT THE TIME OF THE ADOPTION OF THIS CONSTITUTION, shall be President.

Only one of the framers of the Constitution was not born in the Colonies, Alexander Hamilton. He was born in the West Indies.

George Washington’s family had been here around 100 years. So why did they need to Grandfather themselves in to be President with the natural born citizen clause?
Because they were all citizens of another nation too. They did not want that for future Presidents.

Go to Leo Donofrio’s website for a better explaination. He is one amazing researcher in law. http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/

It wasn’t until the 14th President Franklin Pierce, that the natural born clause came into play. He was the first President born after the adoption of the Constitution.

[08hayabusa]

By the way, this a non-radical completely legal viable way to get him out of the Whitehouse. The most I’ve heard that a certified letter cost is $7.50. Leo says we need to get enough people involved now so that U.S.Attorney Jeffrey A Taylor will have no choice but to address the issue.

Leo also says to send one to U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. too and give him the benefit of the doubt, even though he doesn’t think Holder will do anything with it because he has a conflict of interest. Obama appointed him.

They have letters posted on Leo’s website that can be copied and pasted and printed out so there’s very little inconvenience except going to the post office and having them sent as certified mail.

It can’t hurt folks. They may only make him present his Birth Certificate and not address what natural born means like the U.S.Supreme court did, but it’s a shot.

That’s the only reason he’s there in the Whitehouse, is because they’re acting on the premise no court has clearly stated what natural born means.

I sent both letters and it only cost me $11.77.

[Achilles]

Two questions: Why, despite the dozens of lawsuits in numerous jurisdictions, have we been unable to find even a single judge courageous enough to order the production of documents (a relatively routine procedure in civil lawsuits)? And, why, despite the fact that it would be in the interest of many, has no one been able to "liberate" a single document from any source that would prove his citizenship? So far, all possible sources of such documents, including the State of Hawaii Vital Statistics Bureau, all of the colleges the Obama attended, the passport office at the State Department, and the various records departments in Kenya have remained locked down tight. The Left never seems to have a problem leaking sensitve documents or intelligence, for example, the CIA foreign prisons program,the New York Times article on how we were tracking terrorist funding, the use of Pakistani military bases for launching Predator drones, etc. Why do those who oppose Obama been unable to securing any of the necessary proof? Is it because we will not resort to bribery, threats, and intimidation? Something is not right here.

[kobi]

1. pamela, this is an award-winning piece. it clearly shows the evils of moral-equivalence.

2. 08hayabusa: these are important points. more people need to see the simple step of sending u.s. attorney jeffrey taylor a certified letter. screw holder, he's a coward.

pamela, i hope you and your blog colleagues will post what those comments said about how to address the eligibility issue.

we have no time to waste.

[pythagoras]

Let us remove Barack Obama from office ASAP. Let's "just do it."

Let us all pray (seriously) that this evil man be defeated by whatever means necessary and what the American people have born witness to over the past several months NEVER happen again.

Let's all work together to get rid of this monster and then move on with our lives as though this never happened.

[Gideon300]

I posted this on the We are not a Christian Nation thread as a rebutal to a poster there, but essentially it is a rebutal to the tired and shopworn secular humanist contention that all truth came from rationalists and the new ager's of the 17th century, and that America's roots flowed from the thinking of Locke and the philosophers of the Enlightenment:

popolitical said:

Have you ever wondered what happened to science during the thousand year dark ages while Judeo-Christian doctrine ruled the world?

Indeed have you wondered why a multilingual, highly educated world with international roads and aqueducts, with superior architecture and indoor plumbing fell into the dark ages? Spiritual truth and scientific truth are linked, and if you reject spiritual truth, then scientific truth devolves to darkness and superstition. That is why Norway, a nation of 4 million published more scientific papers last year than all of the Muslim nations.

The world was driven into a thousand years of darkness because it did not hold to Judeo-Christian precepts. The Catholic church was a weak, perverted and dead manifestation of a paganized Christianity. It was man's perversion of Christ's truths all cloaked in religious robes that brought the darkness. And who else in history shielded themselves from spiritual truth via a phony religion? Yes the Pharisees of old, and now Gentiles have proven they too can play religion and kill Christ, just as now Muslims can play religion and kill Christ (Read Christ as the truth here if you cannot accept Him as a person)

And it was not until the hold of the Catholic apostasy was broken (by Christian reformers and Martyrs) that the darkness gave way and science bloomed in a way that the ancients never anticipated. Strangely for your worldview it was Christian scientists, including Galileo (who was a believer) and notably Kepler, and Newton and so many others that laid the foundations for modern science, which is now overrun by stupid and atheistic men and so once again the world edges towards darkness.

There was no Renaissance without Luther's reformation. There was no restriction of the divine rights of kings without Wycliffe's Bible and the foundational work of reasoning and philosophy of Thomas Aquinas, as well as other Christian scientists and philosophers. And one nation, England, accepted the reformation teachings and underwent a quite revolution and peopled America with its "Christian Founders."

England remained the premier nation in the earth for 300 years and even overthrew the slave trade without violent civil war by the actions of another great Christian (Wilberforce). But England is dying, as sure as its Christianity has been dying for a hundred years. And now the Barbarians are at their gates, yes, even already in their cities and you witness here how they are now banning men that speak of truth and freedom.

Yet you cannot get more secular humanist than England or Europe. It is a false flame that burns brightly for a moment, but it consumes all that look upon that flame.

Another nation rejected the reformation teachings and went for the new age human secularism of their day and descended into madness and anarchy, and to this day remains a second rate nation, I am speaking of France.

Secularists have taught you their version of history, which is no more useful, or true, than Stalin telling generations of Russians "today we suffer but our children will see a better day."

[Rocketman]

"I have to believe that the mothers of Palestinians and the mothers of Israelis hope the same thing for their children."

Cha

Maybe SOME day in the distant future AFTER Islam is but a memory.

Let us pray.
