The Obama Speech -- Israeli reaction

In typical fashion, Obama gave his speech on the Middle East and pulled the rug out from under the US commitment to Israel's having secure borders one day prior to a meeting scheduled at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. After hearing the text of the speech, Netanyahu said prior to leaving Israel for the meeting that he expected that the US would abide by its prior commitments, approved by Congress, to Israel having secure borders rather than the indefensible ones Obama now supports.

I wish we had a president who understood the import of what he was saying. I wish we had a president who acted in the national interests of the USA. I wish we had a president that cared about the commitments made by the USA to its allies. I wish we had a president who was serious about opposing terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah that have Israel as their primary target. Unfortunately, we have a president who is none of these things.

Obama has got to go.
