Israel will award President Barack Obama the country's Presidential Medal of Distinction during his upcoming visit.
Israeli President Shimon Peres' office said Monday that Obama will be recognized for his "unique and significant contribution to strengthening the State of Israel and the security of its citizens."
Obama is scheduled to visit Israel in March – his first as president. Obama has often had a tense relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the Jewish state's West Bank settlement policies and the lack of peace process with the Palestinians.
But Peres and the committee behind the award noted Obama's overall friendship and backing of the Iron Dome missile defense system.
Okay if I could have one wish right now I would dearly LOVE to be a fly on the wall when Sarah Palin reads this. She is going to lose her damn mind!
And you know that after Obama gets back from this trip that he will garner even more support from the Israelis then he already has, which is right now pretty substantial with different groups campaigning against each other in attempts to get him address them directly instead of simply speaking to the politicians.
I'm confused. Why would Netenyahu allow this, at this time, with the confirmation of Hagel (which isn't done until it's done) still in limbo. Does Netanyahu have no influence on this?
ReplyDeleteFuck Netanyahu. I always said he was the Jewish Dick Cheney. POS!
DeleteBecause he is not "King" ?
DeleteI love this!!! And, Hagel will be appointed even though the asshole Republicans did everything they could to block it. Plus, this will piss Sarah Palin off and it couldn't make me happier. She being an idiot, liar and fraud does nothing more than reflect how out of touch she is w/our world.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama will go down in history as one of the best presidents America has ever had! Plus, I think he'll end up on Mt. Rushmore!!!
And, just think, President Obama has never worn a very large Star of David around his neck! Sarah Palin will want her money back for that purchase.
DeleteBeaglemom
Pity that poor refrigerator!

DeleteHear Hear!
“Barack Obama is a true friend of the State of Israel, and has been since the beginning of his public life,” the statement from Peres read, according to the Times of Israel. “As president of the United States of America, he has stood with Israel in times of crisis. During his time as president he has made a unique contribution to the security of the State of Israel, both through further strengthening the strategic cooperation between the countries and through the joint development of technology to defend against rockets and terrorism.”

The Israeli president’s website also prominently features a picture of the two leaders embracing.

He is also a friend of the Palestinians.
DeleteBut but Sarah Palin deserves the award!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, here comes another Facebook post and/or tweet. Queenie and the male sheep ghostwriter won't let THIS pass!
ReplyDeleteAnd he managed it without wearing some big old Star of David bling around his neck!
ReplyDeletesucks to be sarah!!
DeleteSome call in Karma, I call it divine justice. Everything that the Republicans throw out there at President Obama comes right back at them by way of the POTUS succeeding.
ReplyDeleteEven as they pooh-pooh his every accomplishment, they can't 'control' fate; fate tends to keep POTUS on a level-headed path which rewards him and Americans with benefits. And, while President Obama is not perfect, he is in line with he believes what's best for the people and represents the majority who elected him, and when he delivers the goods, the GOP are whining like spoiled brats.
This newest award is so wonderful for him; and it gets the tea-partiers' panties twisted in knots!!!! Hahahahahahaha
Great News! And to think that President Obama achieved this without wearing a Star of David on a chain at speaking gigs.
ReplyDeleteSarah will be throwing her Star of David, any of them and all of them, at her refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteWhat you got to say now BITCH? You just can win for LOSING, you poor dimwit. Oh I know, they gave it to him just because he is BLACK.
ReplyDeleteRush Limbaugh Smears President Obama by Suggesting He is Cheating on His Wife
ReplyDeleteRush Limbaugh smeared President Obama today by suggesting that the president was cheating on his wife while playing golf with Tiger Woods.
Transcript via Rush Limbaugh:
By the way, there are some in the Drive-Bys (and we have the evidence coming up) who are not happy that Obama invited Tiger while Moochelle is half a continent away with the children. It’s a guy’s weekend, and there’s Tiger in there, and there are no cameras. So there are some people in the media, particularly over at CNN, who are very, very worried about this.
Not us here at the EIB Network. It never crossed our minds. I saw a busload of women when I was out yesterday on 95. I was up as far as Jupiter, and I did see a busload of women heading north on 95. Now, I had no idea where it was going. It was the afternoon. It was after, like, three o’clock. (interruption) No, no, no, Snerdley! I’m not leveling any accusations, but I did see a busload of women. (interruption) No, Clinton’s not there. Well, that’s a good question. I don’t think Clinton’s in town. Anyway, hee-hee, we have the evidence coming up.

Conspiracy O’ The Week: Obama Will Declare Christians Insane, Put Them In Asylums, Feed On Their Souls
ReplyDeleteOK, fine, wingnuts, we told you a week ago to knock it off with the dumb conspiracy theories already, but did you listen? Of course you didn’t. Fine, have it your way, we’ll just continue to point and laugh, then. What is it THIS time? Oh, Barack Obama is working with the American Psychiatric Association to classify Christianity as a mental illness, so that he can then use the Affordable Care Act to put all conservative Christians in asylums, thereby sweeping aside the last best hope of Patriot America? Sure. We heard about that, but that’s just Erik Rush, that guy who thinks we need to execute journalists to save free speech. Nobody else is dumb enough to buy into that, right? Ah, we forgot that paragon of reason, the American Family Association, which thinks that children being nice to each other is a front for gay marriage and gave Loon Extraordinaire Bryan Fischer a job as its spokesman-for-life. Yes, so now another AFA guy, Buster Wilson, has taken to the airwaves to speculate that the government is planning to classify Christians as mentally ill and “get us out of the picture.” Fine, but isn’t that what the FEMA Camps are for?
