Obama to AIPAC over the weekend: "Iran's leaders should know that I do not have a policy of containment. I have a policy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. And as I've made clear time and again during the course of my presidency, I will not hesitate to use force when it is necessary to defend the United States and its interests."
“For Mr. Obama, the speech, before some of Israel’s loudest and staunchest supporters in the United States, was a political high-wire act, an effort to demonstrate his commitment to Israel’s security without signaling American support for a pre-emptive strike against Iran. And it was an effort to confront the Republican presidential candidates who have turned the Iranian nuclear issue into the top item in their litmus test for demonstrating support for Israel,” the New York Times adds.
The New York Daily News: “The strongly worded speech before the pro-Israel lobby came on the eve of the commander-in-chief's tense White House head-to-head with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who fears a second Holocaust should Tehran get the bomb.”
The New York Post: “Israel will wait until after the US presidential election in November to bomb Iran’s nuclear plants, under a deal being hashed out by the two allies this past week. President Obama plans to reassure Benjamin Netanyahu tomorrow at the White House that the United States will make sure Iran doesn’t build a nuclear weapon, as long as the Israeli prime minister delays his attack plans, according to a report in The Sunday Times of London.”
‘A sense of his soul?’ Vladimir Putin was elected Russia’s president. The New York Daily News: “Czar-in-the-making Vladimir Putin will keep his stranglehold on the Kremlin for another six years. The 59-year-old autocrat was elected president of Russia on Sunday in an election that observers charge was riddled with fraud, intimidation and ballot-box stuffing.”
The Moscow Times: “Tearful Putin Declares Victory at Rally.”
A Catholic Cardinal continued to ramp up the rhetoric against Obama and birth control.


President Obama is a brilliant statesman.
Exactly! The president is not going to show his hand to anyone until HE wants to... When he says that everything is on the able, well that means, think twice and you better not screw with me...
I believe the president when he says "I don't bluff."
Yes he does how do you think he got the two kids he told Michelle he was wearing protection.
Obama's only concern is the timing of any military strike on Iran. His timetable will be to strike in October just prior to the election with the thinking that voters won't want to change horses during a military engagement.
Otherwise, obama doesn't give give a crap about Israel.
Oh he is a master of timing...
If you own a home, Please read this.
No matter your party - it is worth it to check out the
following information - check it carefully and make a well informed decision –
Protect yourself....
THIS WILL BLOW YOU AWAY !!!!!
The National Association of REALTORS is all over this and
working to get it repealed, before it takes effect. But, I am very pleased we
aren't the only ones who know about this ploy to steal billions from
unsuspecting homeowners. How many REALTORS do you think will vote Democratic in
2012?
Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you
will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home, etc. When
did this happen? It's in the health care bill and goes into effect in 2013 right after the elections (coincidence?).
Why 2013? Could it be to come to light AFTER the 2012
elections? So, this is "change you can believe in"? Under the new
health care bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales
Tax.
If you sell a $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax.
This bill is set to screw the retiring generation who
often downsize their homes. Does this make your November and 2012 vote more
important?
Oh, you weren't aware this was in the Obamacare bill?
Guess what, you aren't alone. There are more than a few members of Congress
that aren't aware of it Either!

Look carefully at the 2014 rate compared to the 2013 rate
EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW, NOT ONLY SENIORS.
For those of you who are on Medicare, read the following.
It's short, but important and you probably haven't heard about it in the
Marxist liberal media. "The per person Medicare Insurance Premium will
increase from the present Monthly Fee of $96.40, rising to:
$104.20 in 2012
$120.20 in 2013
and
$247.00 in 2014."
These are Provisions incorporated in the Obamacare
Legislation, purposely delayed so as not to confuse the 2012 Re-Election
Campaigns. Send this to all Seniors that you know, so they will know who's
throwing them under the bus.
you want to buy some beach front property in AZ?
96ws6, If you know could you publish which page of the bill the new Real Estate Tax is on?
His comic book doesn't have page numbers...
Some food for thought. The country most concerned about Iran getting a nuke is Saudia Arabia. Now, maybe it is time for the Arab League to get more involved with this issue - and keep Israel and the West out of it.
Sailcat, I would google that if I were you. There does seem to be in HR3200 a provision to increase capital gains on real estate by 3.8%
All options on the table is another way of saying...." I don't know what to do"........."Just please Israel... don't do any thing till after the elections"
Does Obama think that audience is stupid? They don't believe a thing he says.
President Obama is a threat to the GOP, and the more brilliant he is, the more you guys hate him. Too bad the hatred blinds the GOP to facts.
We know 30-40% of populous is retarded....look at GOP/TP crowd. Have you ever seen a dumber group of people?
Just the Liberal left...
Of course he is a threat to all of America he is a Muslim and he is an anti-Semite.
Obama is correct in weighing all of his options before committing to a course of action. Making the best decision from a wide range of options allows for the most favorable outcome. The worst possible course of action is to act impulsively because that removes all options from the table except one, and that is almost always the worst possible choice.
On the other hand, if we followed the advice of some of the right wing lunatic fringe who post on this site, this world would be a lifeless, blackened cinder.
didn't you know that "thinking" "weighing" and "analyzing" are for snobs with their fancy book learnin'
Rush Limbaugh is not a spokeman for the GOP. Nor is Bill Maher a spokesman for the Democrat party.
But when Rush speaks (such as he did with the young woman he called a slut) the media expects all of the GOP presidential candidates and political leaders to denounce his antics. WHY?
When Bill Maher calls Sarah Palin a c_nt no one requested that Obama, Pelosi or Reid denounce his antics.
I am very tired of the nation news media clear and bigotted liberal bias against good people, even if they do represent the GOP. That B S has to end.
maher is a comedian first, limbaugh is a pundit first....see the difference?
I seem to remember Michael Steele apologizing to Rush - in fact, Rush is often courted by Republican politicians- never heard of any Democratic official apologizing to Maher.
We should ALL thank our lucky stars that President Obama-- not some hotheaded Republican warmonger-- is Commander-in-Chief.
Cardinal Dolan doesn't have a leg to stand on. He needs to sit down and STFU. Where was he when the children who were being victimized by pedophile priests needed his protection???
Well said, Kaybee.
If President Obama gets re-elected you'll be singing the blues more than he does because of your tax bill. Be careful what you wish for!!!
This is the foreign policy issue that really concerns me. I hope President Obama and PM Netanyahu have a successful meeting.
All options on table! Does anything else need be said here? No. President Obama is no war monger like the idiot before him was! Thank all that matters, for that! Iran will NOT have a bomb, period! And for the Cardinal, go lay down by your dish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
