Obama must be pissing his pants right now. All that work to try and
appease his voters and convince the public that he wasn't Reverend
Wright's boy... down the drain.
Curses! ...and the best part... is he was plaid (99% sure of it).
Sarkozy is trying to get elected with his Joooo hate'n Franks who have
an ass fetish for Arabs and particularly Arafat's former haunts. Those
Palestine boys throwing rocks just look so cute to the froggies in Paris
is how I figure it. Best way for old Sarko to get some juice into his
election campaign is to make it seem like an accident where he is caught
attacking the American. aah politics! and poor Obama... he didn't want
this. The best part is it isn't the first time Obama fell for Sarkozy's
Shenanigan. Does anyone remember the time the press photographers came
out and Sarkozy fooled the newly green Obama into staring at a 16 year old girl's ass?
Sarko is so tricky! Obama may be a great speaker (yes with the
teleprompter), but he is very slow in the back room and he got plaid. I
almost feel bad for the BHO. Maybe Obama might learn who his friends are
in the future. I bet you Obama is gritting his teeth tonight.
Congress and the ADL calls on Obama to apologize to Netanyahu [UPDATED]
We are deeply disappointed and saddened by this decidedly un-Presidential exchange between Presidents Sarkozy and Obama.
President Obama’s response to Mr. Sarkozy implies that he agrees with the French leader. In light of the revelations here, we hope that the Obama Administration will do everything it can to reassure Israel that the relationship remains on a sure footing and to reinvigorate the trust between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu, which clearly is not what it should be.
What is sad is that we now have to worry to what extent these private views inform foreign policy decisions of the U.S. and France — two singularly important players in the peace process.
Congressman Mike Grimm (R-NY) has called on President Obumbler to apologize to Prime Minister Netanyahu:November 8, 2011

Rep. Grimm Calls on President Obama to Apologize to Israeli P.M. Netanyahu over G20 Remarks
WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Michael G. Grimm (R,C-NY) issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s remarks overheard at the G20 summit criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu:
“I find President Obama’s criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu highly offensive and call on him to issue a formal apology on behalf of the American people. Whether the microphones are on or off, the message to our allies in Israel should always remain the same: ‘We stand with you.’
“As an American, I understand the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship to our own national security as well as to the peace and security of the Middle East. As a member of Congress, I will do all I can to ensure our alliance remains strong.
“President Obama’s comments are disgraceful and inappropriate coming from someone who holds the highest office in the United States. They provide a poor and inaccurate reflection of the American people he was elected to represent, and they must be rescinded.”
Rep. Michael Grimm is a co-chair of the House Republican Israel Caucus.
(Israel Matzav) Grimm has accurately characterized Obama's remarks. But I don't want a self-serving apology from Obama. I want Netanyahu to issue a statement thanking the President for finally letting out in the open how he really feels about Netanyahu and about Israel. We would also be deeply grateful if he could release the original recording so that it can be used in ads in the 2012 campaign.
Egghead an Iranian agent?
(Israel Matzav) Israeli officials are accusing former IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei, an Egyptian diplomat and Nobel Peace Prize winner, of being an Iranian agent all along. (OVER EASY)
U.K. Guardian is on CRACK! Pippi Longstocking books charged with racism
Not that I'm offended... or annoyed. I'm just awestruck at what passes for journalism in the U.K.Guardian:
In Pippi in the South Seas, "the black children throw themselves into the sand in front of the white children in the book,"
..."When reading the book to my nephew, who is black, I simply left that passage out." "It is not that the figure of Pippi Longstocking is racist, but that all three in the trilogy of books have colonial racist stereotypes," said Wollrad. "I would certainly not condemn the book completely – on the contrary, there are many very positive aspects to the book, as well as being very funny, it is instructive for children as it not only has a strong female character, she is against adultism, grown-ups being in charge, and she is fiercely opposed to violence against animals – there is a very strong critique of authority in the book," she told the Local.
Astrid Lindgren's daughter Karin Nyman emphatically rejected the charge. She told the Guardian: "She is not a racist. She is the opposite. She is not only 'against adultism, grown-ups being in charge, and fiercely opposed to violence against animals' she certainly is also against racism. The passage quoted by Eske Wollrad, where the 'black children throw themselves into the sand' in front of Pippi and Tommy and Annika, is explicitly preceded by the explanation that they did so thinking,'for some incomprehensible reason', that white skin was to be revered. This passage is, of course, referring to 'colonial racist stereotypes', but since it is immediately questioned by Pippi, who refuses to be knelt in front of, who makes a very strong point of the children being all alike, black and white, and enjoying the same games in the two books dealing with the South Seas, it is difficult to see the books as representatives of a dubious racist conception and thus harming reading children of to-day. But, of course, the old harm of colonial racism itself remains!"
The paper that claims Israel is an Apartheid state. unf#(%ing-believable. Look... I don't like their politics, but I had no idea they were this stupid.

Bomb Proof Piggy
h/t Regina Berg and Bare Naked Islam
The latest transportation mode for the Swiss. On it they are not harassed by "Asians."(Islam vs Europe ) This is the pig tram in Basel – a last resort for Europeans who wish to escape Muslim harassment on public transport. Maybe we should extend the concept further? Pig-shaped planes – guaranteed terror-free! One commenter on a Swiss blog said, “The pig is part of our culture, why should we remove it? In order not to harm the sensibilities of people who have nothing to contribute to our culture?”
Might be a better idea to have live pigs on board. Then it might just be... Muslim proof. Hey...Anyone seen a Mosque?
In the last 16 years, Israel has moved Right no Left and the 'Palestinians' have become more rejectionist
(Israel Matzav)Today was the 16th anniversary of the death of Yitzchak Rabin. While the observances today were much quieter than they have been in the past (another issue for another post), Evelyn Gordon used the occasion to refute the mantra that Israelis have moved to the Right since Rabin's death. Comparing Rabin'sfinal Knesset speech(which the Left systematically ignores - it has never been included in the package of materials given to journalists to mark Rabin's death) to today's seeming Israeli consensus, Gordon argues convincingly thatIsrael has moved dramatically to the Left.For instance, Rabin envisioned a final-status solution in which Israel lived alongside a Palestinian “entity which is less than a state.” Today, even the “right-wing” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu openly advocates a Palestinian state.Read the whole thing.
Rabin envisioned “united Jerusalem, which will include both Ma’ale Adumim and Givat Ze’ev [two nearby settlements],” as “the capital of Israel, under Israeli sovereignty.” Since then, two Israeli prime ministers have offered to give the Palestinians East Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount and most of the Old City.
Rabin declared that Israel’s “security border … will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term.” Since then, two Israeli premiers have offered to give the Palestinians almost all the West Bank, including the Jordan Valley; even the “right-wing” Netanyahu reportedlyagreed to negotiateborders based on the 1967 lines.
Rabin listed Gaza’s Gush Katif as one of the settlement blocs Israel would retain. Since then, Israel has withdrawn from every inch of Gaza.
Rabin pledged “not to uproot a single settlement in the framework of the interim agreement, and not to hinder building for natural growth.” Since then, Israel
has uprooted 25 settlements (21 in Gaza and four in the West Bank) without a final-status agreement, while the “right-wing” Netanyahu instituted Israel’s first-ever moratorium on settlement construction (for 10 months), including “building for natural growth.”
Rick Richman looks at the flip side of the equation and finds thatthe 'Palestinians' are more intransigent than ever.
What about the Palestinians? In the last 11 years — after they rejected the Clinton parameters that would have given them a state on 97 percent of the West Bank and Gaza with a capital in Jerusalem and a “right of return” to the new Palestinian state — they have not moved at all.I suppose that there are those who will argue that President Obama's pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu was worthwhile. After all, it has yielded Netanyahu's acceptance of a 'Palestinian state,' Netanyahu's alleged agreement to negotiate based on the '1967 borders' and a 10-month 'settlement freeze.' One is left to wonder what similar pressure on the 'Palestinians' might have yielded.
In a July 2000polltaken by the Palestinian Center for Policy & Survey Research (PCPSR), large majorities opposed Israeli retention of even the Western Wall and Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem, or security arrangements prohibiting a Palestinian air force or heavy weapons systems. A total of 87 percent opposed adopting a school curriculum in the Palestinian state that would “recognize Israel and teach school children not to demand return of all Palestine to the Palestinians.” Flash forward a decade: a December 2010 PCPSRpollshowed a lopsided majority (58-40) opposed to what “everyone knows” is the solution: a Palestinian state on roughly the 1967 lines, with land swaps for the major Israeli settlement blocs, a shared Jerusalem, international compensation for Palestinian refugees, and a “right of return” to the new Palestinian state.
Palestinian Authority TV: Rain cleanses Jerusalem of Jews' impurity so Muslims can pray
From Palestinian Media Watch,( h/t EOZ) quoting PA TV: The golden dome [of the mosque] shines with colors of the sky, with the white of clouds, while the joyous holiday [Eid Al-Adha] is good to the residents. The light rain cleanses the steps of the foreigners [Jews] so that the feet [of Muslims] in prayer will not step on impurity.(MORE PAIN)

(h/t Jew Pi) The judges noted that, in her defense, Kamm had said she acted out of “stupidity” rather than for ideological reasons. Her father, in character witness testimony in court, had said his daughter had not intended to harm state security but was merely “foolish, stupid, idiotic and vapid.”

...but the online progressive circuit
seems to think she was a hero who knew exactly what she was doing. Very odd that a stupid girl would be seen as
such a role model. What is the incentive for other Israelis to not
follow her footsteps? Her jail term is the same length of time and effort as a college diploma. after she gets out she will become a hero to the left.
heck... if I were a Palestinian sympathizer I would take the deal too!
Dearest Jackie
History is going to start looking at the Nixons in a different light. They were not the elitists we made them out to be. Dick's bigotry was not the ramblings of aristocracy, but rather the ramblings of a man who knew his family was not from old money. Vassar girl Jacky Kennedy elucidates the rest of us on the perception war they faced.
(Spectator.org)(VINTAGE JOAN KENNEDY and PAT NIXON ORIGINAL PHOTO / eBay)
And then there is poor Pat Nixon. "I used to see her at bandage rolling,” Mrs. Kennedy recalls. "You know, the Senate wives have to go roll bandages every Tuesday and the vice president's wife is always the chairman of it.” To which Schlesinger snidely interjects, "I think she'd be perfect at bandage--bandage rolling.” The other references to Mrs. Nixon are too painful to cite; they all emphasize her deplorable dress sense and hair style. Poor thing--her mother died young and she had to go to work almost immediately; she didn't get to go to a finishing school in Paris and become elegant like Jacqueline Bouvier. (MORE PAIN)
IAEA: Iran developing nuclear arms
(YNET) UN nuclear watchdog says Islamic Republic worked on bomb design, 'carried out activities relevant to development of nuclear explosive device.' Iran: Politically motivated report. Meanwhile, US official says Washington likely to slap Tehran with more sanctions, but not on oil or gas
Iran has worked on developing a nuclear weapon design and other research and testing relevant for such arms, the UN atomic agency said in its most detailed report to date pointing to military dimensions to Tehran's nuclear program.
The International Atomic Energy Agency document, which has been preceded by media speculation of military strikes against Iranian nuclear sites, detailed new evidence suggesting efforts to develop a nuclear arms capability.
The report was distributed to the 35 members of IAEA and to the United Nations Security Council, while parts of it were obtained by news agencies.
"The agency has serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program," the IAEA said in the report, which included a 13-page annex with key technical descriptions of research.
Citing "credible" information, the Vienna-based agency said the data "indicates that Iran has carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device."

It added: "The information also indicates that prior to the end of 2003, these activities took place under a structured programme, and that some activities may still be ongoing.
The report also stated that Iran has benefited from the help "of a clandestine nuclear network," corresponding to news that a Russian scientist and Pakistani experts have lent a hand to Tehran.
'Repeats Zionists accusations'
Tehran quickly rejected the report: "(It) is unbalanced, unprofessional and politically motivated," said Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's ambassador to the IAEA.
Iran's official news agency IRNA stated that the findings "repeat the Zionist regime's claims," adding that the document, which was supposed to remain confidential, "was given ahead of time to media outlets and American government officials.

"Publishing satellite images of suspicious facilities as damning evidence proves that this report was conducted without proper evidence in order to fit to the American's worldview," the news agency, which is considered the Iranian regime's mouthpiece, stated.
The US State Department on Tuesday said it needed time to the report and declined to make any immediate comment on its contents.
"This was released to member states about an hour ago so we're going to take some time to look at it before commenting," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told a news briefing.
"We are not prepared to talk about any next steps at this point."
'More sanctions, but not on oil'
However, a US official said on Tuesday that Washington may impose more sanctions on Iran, possibly on commercial banks or front companies, but is unlikely to go after its oil and gas sector or its central bank for now,
"I think you will see bilateral sanctions increasing," the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said after the report's release.
"From our side, we are really looking to close loopholes wherever they may exist," he added, noting that US sanctions are so comprehensive that "there is not a whole lot out there other than the oil and gas market and you know how sensitive that is."
"I don't think we are there yet," he added, referring to the possibility of the United States seeking via US sanctions to make it harder for Iran to export oil and gas, the mainstay of the Islamic Republic's economy.
The official also played down the chances of sanctioning Iran's central bank, which is the clearinghouse for much of its petroleum trade with the rest of the world and which Washington recently suggested was a possibility.
"That is off the table (for now)," said the US official. "That could change, depending on what other players (think). I don't want to rule that out, but it is not really currently on the table."
Meanwhile, Russia criticized the release of the report on, saying it would reduce hopes for dialogue with Tehran and suggesting it was aimed to scuttle the chances for a diplomatic solution.
"We have serious doubts about the justification for steps to reveal contents of the report to a broad public, primarily because it is precisely now that certain chances for the renewal of dialogue between the 'sextet' of international mediators and Tehran have begun to appear," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
It said time was needed to study the report and determine whether it contained new evidence of a military element in Iran's nuclear program or was nothing but "the intentional – and counterproductive – whipping up of emotions".
