Candidate
Obama tells us that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
President Obama says that was a "mistake".

Jerusalem,
Israel --- September 6, 2012 ... The Democratic Party at the Democratic
National Convention decided to delete all mention of Jerusalem,
and of God, from the Party's platform. By rejecting Jerusalem
as the historic and present capital of Israel, many feel that
the Democratic Party was following the wishes of Barack Obama
in turning their back to the Jewish, democratic state.
A
move meant to seduce Arab American voters and gain favor with
Arab states and Islamic political and financial investors.
By
rejecting Jerusalem, the democrats were in fact rejecting Israel.
Jerusalem is Israel. It is the heart and soul of the Jewish nation,
let alone the seat of government.
Political
analysts viewed the DNC rejection of Jerusalem as following the
views of President Obama - not candidate Obama.
In
2008, Barack Obama had promised to relocate the U.S. Embassy to
Jerusalem. He lied.
As candidate Obama, he did all to win Jewish votes, including
making a trip to Israel and creating photo ops at the Western
Wall.
As
President Obama, he has stated that he had made a "mistake"
in referring to Jerusalem as Israel's capital. This despite a
1995 US law recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and ordered
that the US embassy be relocated there.
As
the public outcry by Jews and Christians reached fever pitch as
the DNC spit at Jerusalem, the DNC went into crisis management
mode. They asked the delegates, three times, to vote for the line
Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel.
It was a voice vote which had more Democrats yelling no than yes.
Obama,
desperate to remain in the White House after accumulating more
than 16 trillion dollars in debt and the worst unemployment record
in 60 years, took credit for the vote for an Israel Jerusalem.
But
it was too little, too late.
We have seen the true colors of both the Democratic Party and
President Barack Obama.
Obama,
who has the worse record of any US President in cooperating with
foreign leaders, has proven that he cannot get the job done.
That he cannot be trusted.
What
has Obama achieved in office?
Keeping the US auto industry running and paying millions of dollars
to banking executives from a bankrupted national budget?
What
can Obama take credit for?
Obama takes full and complete credit for killing Osama bin Laden
when the only true praise should be proudly worn by the CIA, NSA
and Navy SEALS.

Obama standing in front of rockets from Islamic Jihad, Hamas ruled
Gaza that had slammed into the Israeli southern town of Sderot.
Obama, who was to change his position on Jerusalem, encouraging
terrorism against Israel upon becoming President.
Forget
Jerusalem, let's just take a look at Iran.
President Obama wants to continue to "engage" Iran in
talks. The Iranians also want to be engaged in talks - while they
develop a nuclear weapon to wipe Israel off the map.
Hey,
let's forget Israel all together. I mean, why would Israel be
important to the US?
Now
that is a question that many Americans would ask and deserve an
answer.
Just look at the light bulb in your office or home. Smell the
gas as it pours into your car. Look at all the Made in the USA
products and ask yourself where did the oil come from to keep
the car makers, retailers, trucks, airplanes and factories operating?
Without
stable, democratic Israel, the 51st state, positioning itself
to defend US national security interests, the US would not be
in a recession, but a rather deep and disturbing depression. The
day that the US is forced to rely upon it's own oil reserves will
be the beginning of the end.
By
voting for Barack Obama, a man who in the accurate words of Mitt
Romney, has "thrown Israel under the bus", you would
be voting for both the destruction of Israel and the US.
Egypt, Jordan,
Saudi Arabia, but when was the last time Obama visited Israel?
Recently,
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz,
told the world the Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren had told her
that the Republicans were dangerous for Israel. Oren immediately
came out and called Schultz a liar. It was not even a war of words,
Schultz was caught trying to smear the Republicans and the Israeli
Ambassador on tape.
In
a Tuesday interview with Fox News, Wasserman Schultz claimed
reporter Klein had deliberately misquoted her:
I didnt
say [Oren] said that, she said. And unfortunately,
that comment was reported by a conservative newspaper. Its
not surprising that they would deliberately misquote me. What
I always say is that unfortunately the Republicans have made Israel
a political football, which is dangerous for Israel. And Ambassador
Oren has said that we cant ever suggest that there is any
daylight between the two parties on Israel because there isnt.
And that thats harmful to Israel. Thats what I said,
and that is accurate.
The audio
tape leaves no doubt as to whether Klein or Wasserman Schultz
is telling the truth. Wasserman Schultz not only lied to hide
her true comments, but took her dishonesty to another level when
she knowingly made false accusations against both Klein and the
Washington Examiner in her attempt to conceal what she
said.
Can Israel
trust the US INTEL community, the US defense establishment, the
US Congress?
Yes.
But
ya just have to ask yourself - is this a President and a political
party that you would trust your children's lives with?
My
kids live in Israel.
They all have gas masks while Iran works on delivering a nuclear
bomb to Tel Aviv.
As the Syrian government prepares to transfer chemical weapons
to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
