Across Southern California today, in phone calls, meetings at senior citizen centers, and workplaces, people studying Obama's and Hillary's telling Israel to stop construction of 1,600 homes in East Jerusalem said to each other: Impeach Obama now!

People defending Israel and attempting to call Washington reported busy signals at the offices of their representatives and at both Boxer's and Feinstein's offices.
While Jewish community leaders declined to join the calls, "not part of their marching orders," individuals not burdened with the inertia of Jewish community leadership and able to see immediately what was going on recognized the problem as an Obama detached from reality and no longer fooling the American people. In Ohio, yesterday, Obama promised senior citizens with a straight face that Obamacare would help Medicare, while less than a week ago he promised business leaders to limit Medicare spending because it was taking the country into bankruptcy.
Allegations that Gen. David Petraeus had urged a change in U.S. policy towards Israel in Pentagon briefings surprised and shocked readers:
The briefers reported that there was a growing perception among Arab leaders that the U.S. was incapable of standing up to Israel, that CENTCOM's mostly Arab constituency was losing faith in American promises, that Israeli intransigence on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was jeopardizing U.S. standing in the region, and that Mitchell himself was (as a senior Pentagon officer later bluntly described it) "too old, too slow ... and too late."
The Petraeus briefing: Biden's embarrassment is not the whole story People asked since when does a general of the U.S. Army get involved in political foreign policy issues, especially one such as Israel on which a super-majority of Americans agree. Observers believed that Petraeus would have said what he did only with pre-approval from Obama himself and that Obama wanted to hear what Petraeus said.
-that CENTCOM's mostly Arab constituency - [ huh? please explain this hogwash as there is no 'Arab constituency' unless you mean the one created through paranoia and projected / transferred guilt ]
-which a super-majority of Americans agree- [ I'm sure you mean the zionist run American media and government, as people around me are getting real tired of seeing Israel piss all over our foreign policies and get us into expensive wars.
But I guess no amount of toe sucking is enough for Israel and their hyper sensitive propaganda [ public relations ] services
