Obama Wants To Be Absolutely Clear on Who Is Israel's Friend
July 22, 2008 2:35 PM
"Let me be absolutely clear," Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, said today at a press conference in Amman, Jordan. "Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain...administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change."
How true.

This guy is a mess!!!!His statement was garble. He didn't even make sense. This is another one like "57 states".
The media are criminals for not vetting this guy and for being misogynists. And the DNC are eletion rigging thugs. The corporate money influencing this primary election has completely corrupted the process. This whole thing is a nightmare!!!!

What a clown.
For those of you who are wondering what drugs the Obamaniac Disciples have been taking in order to believe that he is some eloquent speaker, you simply have to hear the 8 minute tape that Rush Limbaugh's engineer made of Obama's non-press "press conference" in Iraq.
I heard 45 seconds of no-repeat clips and just about died laughing in my car today. It is non-stop nonsense -"uh", "aahhh", "wweeeelllll", "eerrr", mixed in with some idiotic, repetitive and meaningless hemming and hawing.
This guy couldn't stand up and fake his way through freshman English. He is single-handedly making the Harvard Law Review into a new National Joke.

boy oh boy
you can tell that the obama haters on here do not listen
"Obama the dumbest candidate we have had in a long time"
did you graduate from 4th grade?
have you ever listened to his proposals...
he leaves McCain in the dust on these same issues... specific global issues...

Hey, let's have DEBATE then. Oh, I forgot, BHO is AFRAID of debates since Hillary slapped him silly in the first/last fair debate of the primaries. That's when he started looking drunk running around talking about 57 states in weird locations with a frat boy finger problem.
I'd debate him anytime, anywhere. But I'd vote for him no time, no where.

When Obama says "Let me be clear"..Lookout because what will follow is anything but clear.
When Obama says "I have always said"..be prepared because it will be the first time we ever heard him say it

Dear Lord, I think he is still using drugs!

He sounds just like Bush.

"Israel is a strong friend of Israel's.
sounds like he is stuck in narcissism
Obama is a strong friend of Obama's. His arrogance these past 2 weeks is nauseating

And the Democratic Party want to nominate this bozo for the US president?
Go PUMA!

I pray that the Democrats are now scrambling behind the scenes to knock this guy off his pedestal -- and quickly.
Those delegates who haven't been brainwashed need to be recruited to get rid of him before the convention.

Every time this clown opens his mouth his foot flies into. Is it to late to get Hillary back?

I'm just glad at least ONE reporter is brave enough to report the truth!
The MSM is responsible for making Obama look Presidential, when he is really just an Empty Suit with Empty Rhetoric that sounds pretty but has no substance.
To make a Community Organizer a CEO of a large Corporation would be insane and I have no words for how insane it would be to make a Community Organizer a world leader.
Surely Americans are smarter than that. . . .

I can be quite forgiving of brain-farts since I have them all the time, myself. I'd be more forgiving of this one if it weren't for all the jabs about McCain's brain-farts being due to his age.

Why doesn't McCain or Bush use teleprompter and speak as good as Obama if that is the only thing that makes Obama the best orator? There is no law that forbids these two or any other to use teleprompter if they so wish to improve to be good as Obama.

Obama: More dirty tricks than Richard Nixon!

Tell us how you really feel, apparently Obama thinks Israel thinks too highly of it's self. Wonder what Lieberman thinks about this.
Posted by: rachel | Jul 22, 2008 5:39:24 PM
I watched the news conference where Senator Obama said, "Israel is a strong friend of Israel's." He did misspeak as I believe he meant to say "The U.S. is a strong friend of Israel's." He went on to emphasize that "It (the U.S.)" will be a strong friend under a McCain or Obama administration.
If you really think that misstatement is equivalent to confusing 'Shia vs. Sunni', 'AQI support from Iran', 'Iraq and Pakistan border' etc., then you're really desperate for something to attack the Senator with.

Why in the world would anyone constantly report what Obama says? He has 300 advisors and still can't get it right. It is dangerous for him to be making promises to anyone overseas if he becomes President. This is not a dictatorship. Keep following him and cleaning up his act. He has so many reporters cahnging his words to fit the situation. Tell me would you want an inexperienced sergeon operating on you?
I am watching thsi big joke as it unfolds and happens. Keep following
behind this Pied Piper!

A nice little freudian slip. In the end, Israel can only depend on itself.

Frustrated Voter,
You are so correct. Obama is great with a written speech and a teleprompter, but he's horrible on his feet.
I suspect that is why he wouldn't meet McCain in televised town hall meetings.
