Every day, I’ll be counting down to election day 2012. And every day, I’ll be giving you a reason why you SHOULDN’T vote for Obama. So let’s continue the countdown!
Reason #43: He and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are on the same page with Israel.
The following is from a 60 Minutes interview last night:
STEVE KROFT: "You’re saying, you don't feel any pressure from Prime Minister Netanyahu in the middle of a campaign to try and get you to change your policy and draw a line in the sand? You don’t feel any pressure?"
PRESIDENT OBAMA: "When it comes to our national security decisions—any pressure that I feel is simply to do what's right for the American people. And I am going to block out—any noise that's out there. Now I feel an obligation, not pressure but obligation, to make sure that we're in close consultation with the Israelis—on these issues. Because it affects them deeply. They're one of our closest allies in the region. And we’ve got an Iranian regime that has said horrible things that directly threaten Israel’s existence."
In an interview withe The Washington Post, Andrea Saul notes:
AHMADINEJAD: “I have spoken about this topic at length, previously. We generally speaking do not take very seriously the issue of the Zionists and the possible dangers emanating from them. Of course they would love to find a way for their own salvation by making a lot of noise and to raise stakes in order to save themselves. But I do not believe they will succeed. Iran is also a very well recognized country and her defensive powers are very clear.”
They're one if our closest allies in the region - yet they don't rank as high as David Letterman, Beyonce, or Jay Z. And you won't even meet with Bibi this week at the UN General Assembly.
