Another Obamination

Hounded by charges of flip flop, Barack Hussein Obama finally laid to rest the statement he made at the AIPAC Convention in June, about the need for Jerusalem to remain Israel's undivided capital. Blaming "poor phrasing" and careless syntax, the Obaminator said in an interview with Fareed Zakaria: "You know, the truth is that this was an example where we had some poor phrasing in the speech. And we immediately tried to correct the interpretation that was given."

Unlike others who castigated Obama for his supposed flip flops on issues, I never had any illusions about the man. After all his little speeches, oratory concerts and grandiose shows, he's just a politician trying to lie his way around. Unfortunately, there are still many Jews too deluded or too biased to see through his disguise. Obama is not a friend of Israel. He never was and he never will. 20 years in the company of haters, racists and Palestinian activists shape a man in a way that is not easily changed.

Trying to define himself as being everything to everyone, Obama finds himself at odds with his base (far left "blame America" lunatics), with women (who felt cheated by the Hillary defeat), with Jews (which increasingly are tilting towards McCain) and even with some blacks, for whom is not black enough (the Jesse Jackson episode). Out of this environment appeared the "New Yorker" cartoon, which depicts Obama in Muslim garb and headdress, giving a fist-bumping
handshake to his wife Michelle who is dressed in camouflage clothes with an AK-47 and ammo-belt slung over her shoulder. They are shown standing in the presidential Oval Office beneath a portrait of Osama bin Laden while the American flag burns in the fireplace. Obama's campaign said that while the intention may have been satirical, "most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive."

Although it wasn't the magazine's intention, the cartoon lampoons the Obamas based on their actions and words and I guess that "if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck"....
