Obama’s “Triple Play” Chutzpah

Nothing like a Friday news dump: "Obama Blows Off Congress, Funds Palestinians, Lies About PA Stance on Israel"

Andrew McCarthy of National Review Online is reporting (and calling it a "Triple Play"), via the foreign press because our American news organizations are either disinterested or busy expressing its own anti-Israel bias, that Obama has, once again, defied the U.S. Congress and waived its Palestinian Accountability Act in order to hand the PA $192 million.

A spokesman for the White House, Tommy Vietor, says:

... President Obama made the decision to pour American taxpayer dollars into Palestinian coffers in order to ensure “the continued viability of the moderate PA government.” He added the claim that, as the report puts it, “the PA had fulfilled all its major obligations, such as recognizing Israel’s right to exist, renouncing violence and accepting the Road Map for Peace.”

I seem to have missed that. I mean, with all the Western MSM's eagerness to paint the Palestinians in a grand light, and Israel as the evil one, you would think the PA's "recognizing Israel's right to exist, renouncing violence and accepting the Road Map for Peace" would quickly and loudly replace the media's concerns over the Romney family's roof surfing dog many moons ago.

McCarthy continues:

In sum, everything Obama is saying about Palestinian compliance is a lie. Even if we were not broke, we should not be giving the PA a dime. To borrow money so we can give it to them is truly nuts.

Will Congress do anything about it? There is a very simple answer to this: slash the executive branch’s budget. That is the weapon the framers gave Congress to rein in a corrupt, spendaholic executive branch. You could start with a treble damages rule: Obama gives $192 million to the PA against Congress’s directive, Congress responds by slashing $600 million out of the State Department’s budget. That would be start — though State would still have $51 billion left over to fund the Muslim Brotherhood and its other favorite Islamic supremacists.

Here is just a bit of what our U.S. tax dollars funds in "Palestine". Just an example of the Palestinians teaching their children the "recognizing Israel's right to exist, renouncing violence and accepting the Road Map for Peace" Obama claims has been reached.

    If Romney is to prove he is worthy to take Obama on, here is a perfect opportunity for him to speak up against this crap.
    How about that when Obama spoke at the Holocaust Museum with Elie Wiesel there he made lots of lovely sentimental gestures to make Jews think he is on Israel's side. He announced he will be making an Atrocities Board where they will monitor the atrocities being done in the world. So who did he put in charge as his new czar? Samantha Powers, friend of Hillary and leftist radicals everywhere. She has consistently shown anti Israel and pro Palestinian feelings. Guess which country will be the first one singled out for committing atrocities?

    Miss Honey: The battlelines are drawn, comes November America depends on 5% of its voting population to save itself from becoming another third world letrine, even if reason prevails the aftershock will be very unpleasant, this heathen is lazy but is relentless. As for Israel she is by her lonesome right now, only taking the initiative on her own will save Israel, her enemies await the signal for all to pounce, the signal is the downfall of America. The enemies of Isreal know the cruzades lasted 99 years or as long as the Popes' finances and so they wait for they know is not the Jews but Christian America that upholds Jerusalen's Via Dolorosa, pray that Israel knows the way and vote for America, is all we can do now.

    And the Jewish community will keep voting for Obama and sundry liberals. It's a strange cosmos.

  • asombra

    American Jews are plenty sharp enough to read the writing on the wall, and it is up to them to choose whether to be true Jews or good little liberals. Sadly, if not tragically, many will vote for Obama as they did before. Some Cubans will do the same, but in their case it’s a lesser failure, not to say perversion. Cuba is not Israel, and Romney is unlikely to do better by Cuba than prior US presidents, meaning Cuba will stay in the toilet either way unless Cubans themselves change that. But the Jews have a more critical choice, and being Jews they have a greater obligation to choose righteously. May God enlighten those Jews who have made political correctness their idol and their religion and have enslaved themselves to it, not only for their sake but for the sake of everyone.
