How Crazy is this?

Mitt Romney is in Israel. I get it; I really do. Team Obama does not want Mitt to grab headlines with regard to Israel, so they are doing everything possible to grab them away. Again, I get it. But this stuff is nuts! Loopy Nancy Pelosi is out telling Jews that if they vote Republican, they are being used by the GOP. Then she tells them that Obama has been to Israel over and over again. Has she lost her mind? Okay, that is something of a rhetorical question, since I think the answer to the question is clearly yes. Obama has not been to Israel as president even once. Over and over again???? And to tell Jews that the GOP is using them has essentially no chance at success as an argument. As a group, Jews are much more involved in politics than the other groups for which the Demcrats make similar arguments. Among ethnic groups, Jews vote at higher percentages than any other. They know when Obama undermines Israel. They know when Obama is disrespectful to the Israeli prime minister. Nothing Nutty Nancy says will change this.

So what elese is team Obama doing? They planted a story that Obama had had Netanyahu briefed on American battle plans for taking out the Iranian nuclear facilities. It took about three hours for the story to be exposed as a total hoax. Was it so important to upstage Romney that Obama had to use a blatant lie? Again, a rhetorical question where the answer is clearly yes.

And what about that bill signing the other day that let Obama agree to position about 75 million dollars worth of US weapons in Israel. The point of these weapons is that they are available for usage by American troops in the Middle East without having to bring them halfway around the world. Obama portrayed this as a commitment to Israel's security, but it is more part of planning for future US operations in the entire region.

I saw Romney's main speech in Israel. He seemed to have done quite well with it. None of the Obama nonsense detracts from that fact. Obama and his people are just making themselves look fooolish.
