Americans have fallen into a pit of self-delusion and it keeps getting deeper. The delusion is that, whether it be our government, parents, teachers, employers or simply society in general, people are somehow entitled to benefits they did not earn. 
When the obamas are serving hot food to people who buy a phone whose cost is the annual wage of those in developing countries.. there is a problem. Michele can feel good about herself while she doles out hot food to a man geared in a 300$ blackberry with 100$ service, but who is paying for that Government hand out? When we are being told by this spending government, that obamas 500 billion per year increase over Bushs spending will jump start the economy, they fail to mention how feeding the entitled is supposed to help.
Who is demonstrating to the poor blackberry universe that they are NOT entitled to hot handouts, and that things in life must be earned. When you take money from Peter to pay Paul, you will always have the support of Paul
Age Of Entitlement
In the land of Pharoh Obama
The Economy was in shambles, and the world focused on the great empire, the kings ( pharoh) of the last empire decided to heed the recommendations of his jewish financial adviser, greenspan. For a while , this deed found favor in the natives, and the Jewish advisers national homeland.
Time passed, and the pharoh had forgoten all that which was done, and began to treat the Jews with heavy hand. The Jews began to cry out, but Pharoh heard no cry, as he surrounded himself with those who believed as he did.
Pharoh heard that the Jews were getting stronger and that great leadership was about to be born that would compromise his plans. Pharoh decided that if Jews were naturally going to gain strength that he would have put an end to this by any means.
The Pharoh, ordered his henchmen to put a halt to any natural growth, if any Jew were to have a child, that child would not be allowed more room in the families dwelling, Families were to have funds stripped and taxes waged that would make it impossible for the Jewish to have more children.
The Jewish familes cried out, let our people grow!
Pharoh wanted no part in this and the lord made his heart heavy. A plague befell the empire, one that had never occured in its time, death greeted the healthy and young, the strong and mighty. And the Jews cried out ! let our people grow... yet the lord hardened the pharohs heart once again.
One by one the empires largest industries began to tumble, unable to stop the inevitable crisis, the pharoh, tried to empty the coffers in an attempt to halt the hand of g-d. Yet, his efforts proved fruitless as the natives became desperate for work, and the coffers were becoming empty.
Once again the Jews cried out. LET MY PEOPLE GROW...
Story to be continued as time ticks on.
Obamas history lesson
His eloquence and stage presence seem to take even the academics off guard. For those who remain on steady ground, Obama's romanticized talk of peace and tranquility drops even the finest.
When Obama spoke in Cairo, addressing a moderate Egypt and an extreme axis of evil, he excelled with rule one for any public speaker, know your audience. He began with a consolatory message, with sound bits of not being in a war against islam, meant to disarm those who have been using that mantra to enlist soldiers in that very war.
He spoke of moderation, which may or may have not influenced Lebanons elections to side with the March Alliance.
Yet, he was not simply here as a speaker, he was here as a salesmen, and the US pitch to the extreme voice was scapegoating Israel. In proper form he began with a compliment, by reaffirming the US friendship with Israel, and saying something nice and about the shared ideals between the 2 countries. This of course was met with silence from the floor, but every Bernie & Ruth across the 80% of american Jewry, were no doubt standing in ovation.
Then the other foot hit the floor, now American Jewry all buttered up, Obama begins his historically inaccurate moral equivalency pitch.
Obama began to talk about the Holocaust, and those who negate it.. and then.. the famous words "On the other hand.." In 4 words Obama compared the tragedy of 6 million to the "Resistance" and Intifada of Arabs in Israel. This comparison is very similar to Ahmadinjenad has been saying for years, why should Arabs have to atone for Europes sins? As to suggest that the only reason Israel existed was from the ashes of the Holocaust.
Recall some history
1890 Dryfus Affair
1896 Theodore Herzl wrote Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State, 1896)
1903 Kishinev pogrom Ze'ev Jabotinsky joined the Zionist movement
1917 British issued the Balfour Declaration,
1920, Jabotinsky promotes to establish a modern Jewish state with the help and aid of the British Empire.
1936, Jabotinsky prepared the so-called 'evacuation plan', which called for the evacuation of the entire Jewish population of Poland, Hungary and Romania to Palestine.
1933–1939 HoloCaust
White Paper of 1939
1948 Israel is Born
It is historically accurate to say that the Shoah, (Holocaust) delayed the state of Israel. The dryfus affair and Pogroms prior to Shoah, already had the gears in motion to evacuate the Diaspora. If the British would have allowed more boats to enter then palestine, the world would have different reality.
The State of Israel was born not of the Holocause like Iran & Obama would like you believe, but from the knowledge the world is hostile place when Jews cant defend themselves as an independent people.
ON THE OTHER HAND.
1920 Hebron Massacre ( arabs kill Jewish inhabitants of Hebron)
1936 Arab Revolt against the British led by Haj Amin Al-Husseini.
1948 Declaration of Israel as the Jewish State; British leave Palestine; Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia declared war on Israel.
1964 following an earlier decision of the Arab League, PLO created with goal of the liberation of Palestine through armed struggle.
1967 6- Day war
1971 Surprise attack on the Jewish day of atonement.
1982 Israel strikes PLO terror cells in Lebanon
1993 Oslo
Feel free to insert the thousands of acts of palestinian terror, or as Obama calls it "60 years of suffering" as mapped out here
For Obama to place zionism after the Shoah, is simply towing the arab line in an act to throw Israel to the dogs.
Now Obamas speech moves on to calling for an end to settlements, and Natural growth. Can you imagine, if Israel called an end to natural growth in arab cities? If Israel said as Obamas has, that from here on out, we are going to make if difficult for you to reproduce. If you have a chid, you can not build a room for him, and when that child gets older, he can not live in your city. Every Bernie from NY to Cali would be an uproar, the leftists would yell ethnic cleansing and racism. It would be compared to the Egyptians throwing babies into the Nile.
So I ask, where is the uproar? Obama has asked for UnNatural Shrinkage, to demand Israel take on mother nature herself. Yet the same human rights activists who demand the removal of checkpoints on humanitarian grounds find Obamas demand moral and just.
Even if you believe the settlements are an obstacle to peace, do you 1st create the environment in which israels feel safe and thus unable to hold on to the claim that there is a security risk? Or do you ask Israelis to give up the high positions in "hope" that things will be ok. Obamas mantra as we know, was hope and change, and thus we understand why this convoluted approach is emanating from the former community organizer.
If Israel , as it did with Gaza and Lebanon, pulls out of the west bank, under an arab lull in violence, then upon completion of the pull back, spits in the face of Obama ( as N'Korea s doing now) and launches an attack that rains rockets down on every city. What is the recourse? Do we tell all 350,000 people to go back into their razed homes? Do we ask for a mulligan ? It is simply unheard of that Obama ask Israel to do anything with the settlements until Hamas has been dismantled, Iran neutralized & Moderate arab states open up full diplomacy with Israel.
The Arab world knows as does N' Korea, that Obamas administration is serving dishes of hot words, sprinkled with sanctions which simply feed into the enemies hands. Thus, Obama can not force peace on the arab nations, but he is able to Push israel, and if that is the only pawn he has to play, with 80% of American Jewry behind him, this is a play he wont back down from. Abbas, has said this publicly as have other leaders,, simply wait for Obama to dismantle Israels leadership and the West bank, then we can continue in our "struggle" to dismantle the state of Israel with weapons of demographics and ultimately a war on the a indefensible border.
Obamas speech was written and scoured over, and if nothing he said worried you, then i fear you will accept just about anything he says.
Will the Jews Obsession with Obama outweigh their vestigial ethno-religious pull of affection for the Jewish state.
Will the Jews Obsession with Obama outweigh their vestigial ethno-religious pull of affection for the Jewish state.?
Obama's insistence on picking a fight with Israel over settlements rather than prioritizing the menace from Iran is puzzling, since more concessions on settlements are unlikely to advance the peace process with a toothless Palestinian Authority or its Hamas rivals, neither of which have much interest in accepting a two-state solution that most Israelis already support. It is as if Obama has decided that pressure aimed at ousting Netanyahu, who was elected in February, is more important than confronting the ayatollahs in Teheran, even if it means the latter will almost certainly be granted the time to advance their nuclear ambitions..

Obama Speech
1. Obama doesn't have to use the word terrorist in orderto make the point that it's wrong and we're against it, which he did
Tll today they are scraping through his speech.. you must know that every word he uses is mulled through and had 3 pages of notes behind it. The fact that he used the word "Violent extremists" & "resistance" is tantamount to calling the people who ran their plane into the trade centers by the same very name. There are many that would take offense to that.
2. Obama never at any point compared the Holocaust to the Palestinian situation.
Holocaust reference then:
"On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people -- Muslims and Christians -- have suffered in pursuit of a homeland. For more than 60 years..
This is a historically incorrect moral equivalency. Joe lost 10 dollars, On the other hand John's cat got run over. this denotes that this is a 0 sum game and that both grievances share equal weight.
Also note the time frame 60 years " How were they suffering any more 1 day after israel took over from the British
3. There are many who would like to take Obamas speech as the emotional dribble that it was.. i would love to simply say Islam could live in harmony with the west or that the word "peace" wasnt different then the west.
Salam comes from the word "completeness" ie, that the world will be at peace when everyone adheres to shariah law, and the non believers are either converted or killed
Koran" Lo! those who disbelieve, among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters, will abide in fire of hell. They are the worst of created beings"

There is a reason policemen carry a weapon, and not thesaurus. Peace historically has simply been a pause between wars. Obama may have a new way of looking at things, but what is the price if this is incorrect?
Id rather the smoking gun not come in the form on an iranian /nkorea nuke cloud
“Obama spoke more from his own heart and less from genuine understanding of the direction Islam is taking around the world. Whoever thinks that the establishment of a Palestinian state will stop the war in Darfur, India, Chechnya, and Europe will apparently soon learn that Israel is not willing to be the ‘pound of flesh’ that he wants to throw to the Muslims.”
NoBama, you cant. and wont expel jews from their land
My name is Zahava Englard. I made aliyah 3 years ago and I live in the Judean Hills, the heartland of Israel. I have one son in the army and yet another scheduled to go in, in the coming year. And, one thing is for sure, my sons did not come to live in this land and join as proud soldiers of Israel’s Defense Forces in order to carry out President Obama’s destructive policy of chasing out our own people from our own land.
We, the Jewish people, the only legitimate heir to the Land of Israel have but one authority to adhere to. And, the last time I checked, God does not reside at the White House, or at the State Department.
Apparently, President Barak Hussein Obama is looking to make new friends. He is looking to make friends with those among the Arab nations who support, train, finance and harbor terrorists. To this end, General Keith Dayton’s term has been extended in order to train the so-called Palestinian army at the U.S. taxpayer’s expense - an army that will indubitably be used against the Jewish people.
To this end, Obama has concocted a Middle Eastern policy borne out of ignorance and arrogance. Ignorance in not realizing that a policy based on apologetic appeasement is translated by the Arab mentality as a posture of weakness. Arrogance, in thinking that he can persuade Iran to relinquish their nuclear agenda by using his electioneering charisma.
To this end, Obama has surrounded himself with delusional anti Israel protagonists such as the likes of John Zogby, Hillary Clinton, Samantha Powers, Emanuel Rahm, and George Mitchell to name a few.
You can go ahead and try to make new friends President Obama. Moreover, at the expense of your own country’s national security, you can continue to ignore the real threat of global jihad from the very creatures you wish to cultivate as allies while you repudiate and isolate Israel, the only true ally the United States has in the Middle East. But, we promise you this, you will not buy your new friends with Jewish blood.
We the Jewish people have survived and stood up to 2000 years worth of nations, empires and various entities who rose to destroy us. Yet, we have not only survived. Indeed, we have risen out of the ashes of Europe and persevered to return with the help of God to our God given land, to re-establish our sovereignty over this Jewish Land- our Land of Israel. What, President Barack Hussein Obama, makes YOU think that you will succeed in destroying us where others have not. I have three words for you in this respect:
NO YOU CAN’T.
We will not lay down our arms; we will not relinquish our land. Apparently they must have skipped over this little fact in your history class back in Indonesia, and that is, while foreign armies and empires may have ransacked and ravaged the land as they passed through here throughout the ages, we, the nation of Israel, are the only people on this earth to have ever established a sovereign state on this, our Holy Land. The land of Israel in its entirety belongs to the Jewish people alone.
The so-called “Two State Solution” is an oxymoron in and of itself. It has become a code word. A code word used by the U.S. State Department, the European Quartet and the Arab conglomerate of terrorists – as a gentleman’s way (if you will) of begetting the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people.
We, the Jewish People of Israel are Jerusalem. We are Haifa, we are Shechem. We are Migron, Judea, Hevron, we are Tel Aviv, we are Takoa, Yitzhar, Maaleh Rechavam, Shdema and we are Kiryat Arbah.
As far as stopping the settlements, President Barak Hussein Obama? NO YOU CAN’T.
Obama unfair moderator
It is very clear that Obama's policies go against Israel's majority government. To be a broker, you have to be unbiased in objective, to line your team with those who call for the US to cease its funding in Israel, kinda of places you as an unfair broker.
Israel's destiny and policy will be determined by her alone. For any person to believe that... Read More Irans extremism has anything to do with a family adding an extension to his house is simply outlandish. Creating this moral equivalence is faulted at its very root. Telling a population that it cant grow naturally, as a prerequisite to anything is at best absurd. Peace in the region will only occur when Arabs want it.. you have be a friendly neighbor before you're invited in for a drink.
We have seen that when israel opens its doors first ( Lebanon pull back, gaza expulsion ) it is ALWAYS met with violence and rockets. The US should recognize that, and insist on israels neighbors to act like decent neighbors as a pre-requisite.
US Spending
some of those policies starting from regan had some net benefits like federal revenues growing at a faster pace after the Reagans tax cuts than after the Bush and Clinton tax hikes.
Regan inherited a %20 revenues as a share of GDP, after regan %19.2. There are those who would argue reganomics had less to do with deficits then is assumed. Only once dems took over did personal revenues drop, and thus taxable income as a whole.
The current deficit spending doesnt seem to be doing much. I would think the government would want to decrease its own spending.. get items out of the hands of the government.. decrease its footprint.. & invest in companies that show promise. ... Read More
Socialism is expensive, the question is who pays.
Obama Spending
Regarding Spending... Bush spent like a man with deep pockets.. and it drove the dems mad.. Yet, Obama plans to spend $4.9 trillion in 2018, about $550 billion higher than the Congressional Budget Office projection.
http://www.cbo.gov/
this 500 BILLION increase in spending is with an expected 300 Billion dollar DECREASE in taxes. The graph shown is grim.. but unless obama does a 180, this graph will continue to worsen.
Regarding the 80% of the USJewry who voted Obama
Regarding the 80%
Regarding the 'Jewish' Vote
US Jewish Stats.
44 percent dont belong to any Jewish group; ... Read More
28 percent were "moderately affiliated"
---
72% of Jewish voters who have no or little affiliation with anything jewish.
which is probably why ,without coincidence, .. 44% of the same demographic voted for Carter in 1980.
Those who voted for the current administration did so knowing full well the ramifications on Israel.. which is also why only 31% of Israelis call Obama 'pro-Israel'
There is really no argument that the previous administration was friendlier to securing Israels borders & a unified Jerusalem.
It is disheartening that while Korea,Iran & Venezuela mock the US and its inability to enforce anything.. that Obama's dream team, incorrectly concludes that iran and the mid east would become less extreme if Israel capitulates to terror.
But i am an optimist, smart people learn from their mistakes well see how long it takes for this Administration to do so..
Bush's Road map
'my boy' about road map
.."In light of new realities on the ground, including already existing major Israeli population centers, it is unrealistic that the outcome of final status negotiations will be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949, and all previous efforts to negotiate a two-state solution have reached the same conclusion.... "
Compare this to the current dream team , Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice,Lee Hamilton,Samantha Power, James bakers.., policy on Israel and its borders.
