Hagel, Obama, and the Israeli elections

Caroline Glick  "Today the National Journal reported that Obama is reconsidering his decision to appoint Chuck Hagel Secretary of Defense. As I wrote in my previous post, there is no chance that Obama will appoint a supporter of a strong Israel to any senior foreign policy post because he wouldn't appoint someone who doesn't share his basic animosity towards Israel. But in Hagel, he chose someone even more outspoken in his animus towards the Jewish state than Obama."
....
"If Obama indeed scuttles Hagel's elevation to Defense Secretary, it shows that it is possible to fight Obama on foreign policy even in his second term, and win, at least sometimes. This is important information for Republicans, American Jews, and the Israeli government."

What will Obama and his Democrats do to us next?

President Obama To Republicans – You Have Another Thing Coming!
 "First, he will expose himself as the class warfare warrior he really is. Second, he will show just how serious he really isn’t about the debt and the deficit. I have said it before, it’s the spending, stupid. Obama either doesn’t understand that or he just doesn’t care about reducing our debt and deficit and getting spending under control. I suspect it is probably the latter." Via CBC

Obama: We raised taxes, but the rich still aren’t paying their fair share   "President Obama cut a video, distributed by his reelection, to reiterate his belief that the wealthiest Americans still aren’t paying their “fair share” of taxes and to outline a second-term agenda ranging from environmental policy to gun control."

Boehner tells GOP he’s through negotiating one-on-one with Obama "The shift could have immediate ramifications as Congress heads into its next showdown over raising the debt ceiling and replacing steep automatic cuts to defense and domestic spending that are now set to take effect in March. It will also impact other presidential priorities like immigration reform and gun control."

Neal Boortz; What Did I Tell You?   "Dear Ruler is just getting started … BOHICA!   You just read a statement I would love to see the leaders of the Republican Party issue (yeah, I know … in my dreams).  Now take a look at what Obama had to say earlier this week:"...
Two of Mr. Boortz's points are:

• Apparently the fiscal cliff agreement of a 41:1 ratio of tax increases to spending cuts is not “balanced” enough for Dear Ruler.

• It’s odd that Obama expresses concern about economic growth when he just increased taxes on the very people who invest in our economy and create jobs.

Remember I told you what BOHICA means?

White House eases path to residency for some illegal immigrants  "The change is the latest move by the administration to use its executive powers to revise immigration procedures without Congress passing a law."  Notice the pro-amnesty propaganda in the wording of this article:

The new procedures could reduce a family's time apart to one week in some cases, officials said. In recent years a few relatives of U.S. citizens have been killed in foreign countries while waiting for their applications to be resolved.

You do remember we're discussing potential Democrat voters here, don't you?

Despite looming debt ceiling fight, gun control, immigration reform on Obama's agenda "For tactical reasons, he may wish to bring one or both of those pieces of legislation to the floor - especially if they would be doomed to go down to defeat. Neither measure would be popular with the voters and a GOP stance against them wouldn't hurt - and might help them - at the polls."

As 2d term looms, Obama's Hope and Change become Fear and Gloom  "By a nearly two-to-one margin Americans are certain that 2013 will see 12 months of economic troubles. That seems like a pretty safe expectation since that's what we've had for four years of this administration, despite $800 billion-plus in wasted economic stimulus. Call it Obama Continuity.
"The two-thirds (65%) who see a tough economic year ahead, despite Obama's improving golf game..."

Victor Davis Hanson; Americans can’t trust the government not to infringe on their traditional freedoms.  "The ability of citizens to protect their households, to keep at least half their earnings safe from various government taxes, and to use their own judgment in making health-care decisions is central to a free people. No wonder the fear that a radically growing government will infringe on such traditional freedoms is stampeding millions of panicky Americans in all directions."

Don't any of Obama's worshippers realize how their idol is viewed?
