“When it comes to our national security decisions — any pressure that I feel is simply to do what’s right for the American people. And I am going to block out — any noise that’s out there,” Obama said.
"What's right for the American people...." Was turning Egypt over to the Muslim Brotherhood "right for the American people?" Was turning Libya over to al qaeda-tied jihadists "right for the American people"? Was Tunisia or Mali? Was leaving our foreign embassies in Libya and Egypt (and other hotspots) unguarded on 911 despite numerous warnings "right for the American people" or right for Ambassador Stevens, computer expert Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods?
Was apologizing for our first amendment in the wake of violent anti-freedom riots "right for the American people?" Was running TV ads in Pakistan apologizing for freedom of speech "right for the American people?" Was Obama's silence when a Pakistani cabinet minister put a $100,000 bounty on the head of a California filmmaker in the wake of those ads "right for the American people"? Were billions to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt "right for the American people?" Were billions to the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza (Hamas) "right for the American people"? Was turning Afghanistan over to the Taliban "right for the American people?" Was Obama's abandonment of religious minorities in Muslim countries "right for the American people?" Was importing whole Muslim communities into the US from jihadist nations (i.e. Somalia) "right for the American people?" Was the White House leaking successful anti-terrorism operations to bolster his re-election chances "right for the American people"?
What a dangerous, subversive insufferable liar, he is.
Obama: Israeli pressure over Iran is "noise" JihadwatchOne thing must be said about this man: he has been consistent. As has the blindness of those of his followers who persist in believing that he is in any way pro-Israel. "Obama brushes off Israeli pressure over Iran," from AFP, September 23:
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama likened Israeli pressure on him to draw a line in the sand over Iran's nuclear ambitions as noise he tries to ignore, according to remarks aired Sunday.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently urged the United States to establish what he called a "red line" regarding Tehran's nuclear program beyond which the United States would be compelled to act....
Obama, interviewed for Sunday's edition of "60 Minutes" on broadcaster CBS, said he understands and agrees with Netanyahu's insistence that Iran not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons as this would threaten both countries, the world in general, and kick off an arms race.
But Obama added: "When it comes to our national security decisions -- any pressure that I feel is simply to do what's right for the American people. And I am going to block out -- any noise that's out there."...
Obama's contender for the presidency, Republican Mitt Romney, said this was no way to treat an ally.
The decision not to meet with Netanyahu, he said, also in an interview with "60 minutes", "is a mistake and sends a message throughout the Middle East that somehow we distance ourselves from our friends and I think the exact opposite approach is what's necessary."
