Bibi Dissed by the Comrade Chairman

This is disgusting beyond words.

Via the timesonline.co.uk:

For a head of government to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of. Yet that is how Binyamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip viewed in Jerusalem as a humiliation.

After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on settlements, Mr Obama walked out of his meeting with Mr Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisers and “let me know if there is anything new”, a US congressman, who spoke to the Prime Minister, said.

“It was awful,” the congressman said. One Israeli newspaper called the meeting “a hazing in stages”, poisoned by such mistrust that the Israeli delegation eventually left rather than risk being eavesdropped on a White House telephone line. Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”.

This is a new low even for the Comrade Chairman. For some reason, the former community agitator feels compelled to treat our traditional allies in a horrendous manner at every opportunity, such as he did the British shortly after he came to power.

I do not always agree what the Israelis do, but they are the only democracy in the region, and one of our staunchest allies on the planet.

Something tells me that if that Iranian Hitler Akhmedinadinnerjacket was to pay a visit to the White House, he would have been given the red carpet treatment for the duration.

The Comrade Chairman owes Mr. Netanyahu, and the Israeli people, an engraved apology.

I won't hold my breath waiting for it, as that would require class beyond anything this hideous fraud of a POTUS possesses.

Honduras Caves, Reinstates Zelaya

From the TimesOnline (emphasis mine):

The interim government of Honduras has yielded to international pressure and agreed to allow the return to power of Manuel Zelaya, the ousted President who was toppled in a military coup four months ago.

The breakthrough came after renewed pressure from senior US officials who travelled to Honduras this week for a last-ditch effort to end the crisis.

"It is a triumph for Honduran democracy," said Mr Zelaya after the rival sides agreed to a deal under which he may be reinstated as President within days.

[...]

The United States, the European Union and Latin American leaders had all demanded that Mr Zelaya be allowed to finish his presidential term, which ends in January. They had said that they might not recognise the winner of the November election unless democracy was first restored.

[...]

US President Barack Obama cut some aid to Honduras after the coup but had been criticised by some Latin American countries for not doing more to force the de facto government to back down.

You can read the whole thing here.

First of all, it was no military coup that ousted Zelaya. He was voted out for his attempting to violate the Honduran constitution. Even the moochers and leeches at the U.N. agreed his removal had been legal, as did the Law Library of Congress, which is why they told John Kerry, the darling of pajama-clad Viet-Cong all over North (and South) Vietnam, to go pound sand* when he attempted to have their report quashed.

This was certainly no "triumph" for democracy, neither in Honduras, nor anywhere else in the world. It was, however, a cold slap in the face to the rule of law, and to people the world over who yearn to experience the freedom we here in America still enjoy - although I wonder for how much longer.

I am sorry, but I want my president, as well as my government, expending our resources (as in tax dollars) promoting freedom and liberty around the world, not working 24/7/365 to reinstall a communist dictator that the people of that country clearly do not want.

What a disgrace.
