This past Sunday, July 29th, I awakened to find pictures in numerous news sources of Mitt Romney’s visit to Israel and with Benjamin Netanyahu. The aura of respect and amiability was easily recognizable from the photos alone, and my mind rushed to contrast this visit with one from 2011.
First, we should remember that Obama prefaced the May 2011 visit with an extraordinarily arrogant assertion that Israel, in a move toward peace with Palestine, should recognize and return to the pre-1967 borders. Friends of Israel in America and around the world responded with incredulity and anger. Following such an ill-conceived and imperious speech, I was not at all surprised to see this chilly photo emerge (right: Benjamin Netanyahu and President Obama).
At this critical time, just over 3 months ’till the presidential election, all those pro-Israel and Jewish voters should take the time to remember that Obama, in his 1st term found the opportunity to visit some 32 different countries on 47 trips. However, the one very important country and long-time ally not visited? Israel. We should remember that Obama purposely bowed to Saudi King Abdullah, told outgoing Russian president Dmitry Medvedev that Vladimir Putin should give him more space until after the election, and foolishly proclaimed that Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez was no special security threat!
Thus, Sunday’s stories and photos were a stark contrast, chronicling an amicable reception for Mitt Romney, a long-time friend of Netanyahu and staunch supporter of Israel. Romney, unlike Obama, followed his visit with Israel’s PM by delivering an assertively pro-Israel speech wherein he declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel. The GOP presidential candidate stated that the strong alliance between America and Israel is “…a force for good in the world…” and “…should make every American proud.”
I hope every voter in America, and in particular every voter concerned with the future security of Israel and America’s unwavering commitment of friendship and steadfast support for that state, is listening and watching! We must choose between 2 disparate candidates: either an incumbent who has emboldened America’s and Israel’s enemies, or a candidate who believes in a bold and exceptional America–an America that supports in every way its long-standing allies. The choice could not be more clear: Obama who habitually apologizes for America and insults Israel, or Romney who proudly proclaims America’s greatness and admires the democratic values and true friendship of Israel. Here’s hoping all voters will choose the latter!

You write with such Briliance.
Keep up the good work.
America and Israel needs You.

Posted by Red Pill Report | August 1, 2012, 4:55 amGreat article. Examples of how to be a leader and how not to. What an embarrassment we have sitting in the white house. 4 years later and I still can’t believe the American people were duped into voting for this guy. Amazing! Then again, half the population is below average intelligence…and they congregate in big cities and vote as a block!
Posted by Cucciolo | July 31, 2012, 7:54 amA picture is worth a thousand words . . . I hope these pictures are worth many thousands of votes. I heard Obama’s spokesman, Carney, the other day reaffirm that the Obama Administration has not changed its position relative to Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol. This means Obama still believes Israel should give back the territory they won in the Seven Days War, even though the Arabs/Palestinians were the aggressors and the belligerents in that war. Obama, from day one, has supported regimes that have sworn to destroy Israel. Can anyone remain in doubt of Obama’s religion. Bible-based Christians naturally support Israel because they read and understand Bible prophecy regarding the return of the Jews to their “promised land.” Someone is NOT a Bible-based Christian!

Posted by Linus | August 1, 2012, 4:47 amI could not agree more, Linus! The moment I saw the pictures of Bibi and the Romneys, I felt compelled to write! America has been blessed, and I believe, our strong support of Israel is one reason for the blessing!
I sincerely hope people around the nation pay attention to the sharp contrast between Obama’s woefully wrong foreign policy as compared to Mitt’s strong grasp of foreign and domestic policy.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment, Linus!

Posted by lundy | August 1, 2012, 7:21 amExactly what I thought when I first saw the pictures! Compounded with Mitt’s speech from Jerusalem, I am more convinced than ever that he will make a fine president!
