Anyone shocked, or even slightly surprised, by the growing rift between the current administration and Israel, has simply not been paying attention to the situation for quite a long time.

 

Shown below is an item from breitbart.com columnist, Ben Shapiro, which was reprinted here back on March 13, 2012, as follows:

 

“President Barack Obama’s longtime pastor at Trinity United Church, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has announced his support for the anti-Semitic “March to Jerusalem” at the end of March. The White House has refused comment.

 

The “March to Jerusalem” is a massive campaign designed to send anti-Israel partisans across Israel’s borders and into Jerusalem. The National Conference on Jewish Affairs reports Iran's government is involved in the organization of the event and plans to send thousands of participants in caravans, whose schedules have been published by the Quds News agency.”

 

Consequently, the movement away from Israel and towards Iran, up to and including Iran’s development of nuclear weapon capability, seems perfectly natural considering the incumbent president’s apparent religious proclivities.  

 

On a similar aspect of foreign policy, Mark Landler, White House correspondent for The New York Times writes that: “One day this month, as the nation shuddered with fears of an Ebola outbreak and American warplanes pounded Sunni militants in Syria, President Obama’s national security adviser, Susan E. Rice, invited a group of foreign policy experts to the White House to hear their views of how the administration was performing.

 

“She was peppered with critiques of the president’s Syria and China policies, as well as the White House’s delays in releasing a national security strategy, a congressionally mandated document that sets out foreign policy goals. On that last point, Ms. Rice had a sardonic reply.

 

“If we had put it out in February or April or July,” she said, according to two people who were in the room, “it would have been overtaken by events two weeks later, in any one of those months.”

 

Now, let’s bear in mind that the article’s source is the New York Times. As solid a liberal media ally than any Democrat politico could possibly hope for, and having a strongly partisan readership. Nonetheless, though, the comments following the text indicate that even this hard core, usually dependable base of readership, is seriously dissatisfied with the “leader” they elected.

 

Examples of their comments illustrate their frustration far better than this writer, so they’ve been posted below: 

 

MFW of Tampa, FL wrote: “Yes, of course its a big joke over there. What newspaper endorsed and promoted a "community organizer" to be our president? What news organization papered over not only his lack of experience, maturity, temperament, and judgment, but his basically anti-social personality?

 

“We are living through some of the most dangerous moments in our history. Not because the world is any worse, that is demonstrably not so. Despite the tone of this story ("All of these problems! Who could cope!"), it is the talent we've tasked with the problems that is lacking.

 

“Susan Rice, a serious contender for least talented individual (and a slam dunk for most deceptive) ever to serve in the federal government, can't produce a national security strategy because events would overtake it. This only proves she doesn't understand what strategy even means.

 

Your article reveals that you are finally on to this White House. Sadly, we needed you to report this stuff in 2008. And certainly by 2012.”

 

Then came this one from John in Atlanta: “Let's not forget that Barack Obama never held a management job of any kind prior to taking on the most challenging executive leadership job in the world. He had never managed a shift at a fast food restaurant, never run a small business, and certainly never managed a division of a company or a military unit. In that context, can it be surprising at all that his administration is in total disarray?”

 

So, to repeat. While dissatisfaction such as that displayed is quite commonly found on more conservative outlets, such as Fox or Breitbart, the negativism is far more rare on bastions of liberalism like the flagship newspaper the New York Times. Which may be one of the best indications that next week’s elections may truly wind up to be a major Democrat awakening of serious trouble ahead for them, nationwide.  

 

That’s it for today folks.
