Column One: Obama’s foreign policy spin

By CAROLINE B. GLICK, JPOST

In recent months, a curious argument has surfaced in favor of US President Barack Obama. His supporters argue that Obama’s foreign policy has been a massive success. If he had as much freedom of action on domestic affairs as he has on foreign affairs, they say, his achievements in all areas would be without peer.

Expressing this view, Karen Finney, a former Democratic spokeswoman who often defends the party in the US media, told The Huffington Post, “Look at the progress the president can make when he doesn’t have Republicans obstructing him.”

According to a Gallup poll from early November, the US public also believes that Obama’s foreign policy has been successful. Whereas 67 percent of Americans disapproved of Obama’s handling of the economy and the federal budget deficit, 63% of Americans approved of his terrorism strategy. So, too, 52% approved of his decision to remove US forces from Iraq. In general, 49% of Americans approved of...

As Palin said, “polls are for strippers”

These numbers sure sound like BS to me. In order to reach 63 seats, the left would have to include the Arab Parties with 10 seats which has never been done before.

Canada TV Host Doesn’t Believe Israel Deserves to Exist

Laura: While islam wages a relentless and bloodthirsty global jihad, the wretched and moral degenerate leftist cowards of the western elite believe that it is Israel that doesn’t deserve to exist. The left has nothing to say about the unspeakable horrors perpetrated upon women, children and non-muslims in islamic countries whether by regimes or terror groups. But they constantly condemn Israel on the basis of invented “crimes”. It goes to show how far the west has degenerated when the barbarians surrounding Israel are given legitimacy and treated with respect while Israel itself, the only civilized and free country in the region, is treated as a pariah. You never hear anyone saying that nations with the world’s most brutal regimes don’t deserve to exist, yet this is considered a legitimate opinion when it comes to Israel.
