In reply to the discussion: Obama calls U.S-Israel bond 'eternal' [View all]John2
(2,730 posts)the President of the United States, not King or God. The U.S. is a country of 315 million people that will soon eclipse over 400 million. The primary responsibility for the United States is to its people and not that of any other country. And when his term is up, he will have no say in Foreign Policy except as just another U.S. citizen. What he said was not in our Constitution or what any other U.S. politician declares. What he states is what I see as the bias in our current Foreign policy and good reasons for Israel's enemies to increase their Arm Forces. We pose ourselves as the threat instead of the mediator in the Middle East. It is one of the reasons we are being attacked.
We go back to this issue based on religion again. President Obama is a Christian and makes my point. He is making bias decisions based on his religion. The same way he did with gay marriage initially. There were people on the land before there was any nation appeared called Israel. Should we give preference to them also? So if he wants to use history to make his claims, then maybe he should use all of history. And the Israel he speaks of, disappeared from the map. The current Israel did not appear until after World War II. While he continues to talk about Iran getting one nuclear weapon, the same country that he makes pledges to maybe hoarding hundreds of nuclear weapons. And at the same time, he is open to discussing releasing a person allowing them to obtain such capability. Does he think people cannot think or reason for themselves? Even though he completed Law school, his thinking is flawed.
