It’s Official: President Obama Is Jimmy Carter II

By: Melissa Clouthier (Diary)  |  May 21st, 2011 at 12:12 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Charges that President Obama was the taller, suaver, better-looking version of the bitter, shrunken commie-sympathizing Jimmy Carter seemed a bit of a stretch. President Obama’s Middle East speech changed all that.

It’s official: President Obama is Jimmy Carter II.

I live-tweeted the President’s speech and found myself irritated with the easy-to-misinterpret double speak. He’s like a guy who just doesn’t want to go home so drives slow, rambles out of the lines and goes down dead ends only to turn around. He eventually gets home, but he’s taken twice as long. And then he’s surly when he gets there.

Where’s home? Home is Israel. President Obama doesn’t want to go there.

And yet, after all the confusing blabbing about the Arab awakening, Iran doing better, Syria stop killing their own people, and vague “universal rights”, whatever he means those are, President got to the crux of his speech: Israel.

The speech wasn’t about peace, so much as it was about President Obama being sick of Israel not waving a magic wand to make the Arab Muslims stop killing Israelis, and poof! creating peace by fiat. President Obama is bored of it!

So when he got home, he told Israel, you know what honey? You’re going to do what I tell you to do. I don’t care if it’s not good for you. I’m sick of you and your drama. You’re doing it my way. I’ve decided your enemy is right: You’re the bad guy and you have to bend and give.

Imagine. Israel feels betrayed.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately responded. He was not happy.

Now, people are trying to make sense of the twists and turns:

Most agree that President Obama’s speech will undo promises President Bush made to Israel.

Mark Steyn said that Obama made the speech about him, when America has essentially been irrelevant to the Middle East.

Jewish donors aren’t happy.

Benjamin Netanyahu, being a rather seasoned statesman, responded, in the Oval office with a very diplomatic, “no.” You can read the whole transcript here.

My point here, though, is to note that for all the looks of cool and calm, President Obama and his team are just a floundering mess driven by a hostility for America’s allies–especially Israel.

Who are they going to be friends with? They want to be buddies with the world’s tyrants but, they’re so dang tyrannical.

Reality continues to be relentlessly inconvenient for liberals.

Which brings us back to President Obama being like Jimmy Carter. The economy stagnating, high gas prices, and a world in turmoil. The Muslim world shifts and President Obama wants to make something good of it. The reality is that the one thing these regimes can agree upon is that Israel is evil.

With President Obama not wanting to come home to Israel, he creates more instability than ever. A better looking President doesn’t dress up his moral equivalence, weakness, and tyranny-apologist Carteresque words and actions.

Gene Simmons said it best,”He doesn’t have a _____ clue.”

    And they wonder how people could possibly entertain the slightest doubt Obama’s faith. Although the real question isn’t so “Is Obama a Muslim?” as, “Would anything about him be any different if he was?”

    Carter’s presidency was horrible but his post presidency activities of coddling and legitimizing dictators, elevating terrorist leaders to statesmen speaks volumes about the true mindset of liberals.

    Whereas Obama’s foreign policy of throwing Israel to the Arab wolf has the potential to inflict damages worse than Hitler.

    While Hitler rounded up Jews and killed them in Germany. The Jews in Israel are surrounded by blood thirsty Hamas, Hezbollah and Muslim Brotherhood, who are nothing but proxies for all Muslim’s goal of wiping out Jews, from the face of earth. Obama, by withdrawing his support for Israel has sanctioned what could result into something worse than what Hitler could conceive.

    So far due to American support Israel is able to contain its exposure to PLO. If a small fraction of terrorist activities by PLO has huge consequences on Israel, what impact will it have when the entire Muslim population are allowed to attack Israel.

    Ask yourself, is Obama aware of the consequences? Does he care?

    In the annals of history, Obama will be featured as the man behind wiping out Jews.

      are offensive. Can we please forego them?

        when we forget its lessons.

        Obama is clearly not Hitler. He may be Neville Chamberlain.

        How’d that “Peace in our Time” work out?

        • izoneguy

          My thought as well

        your skin a bit, and if you think your sensibilities were that offended, send an email to the site, but in the meantime, how about worrying about what you write and not what he wrote.

        “Tender sensibilities”, should be a song.

    If the Arabs would lay down thier weapons, there would be no war.
    If Isreal layed down thier weapons, there would be no Isreal.

      Netanyahu said that.

        It could have been both.

    It seems as though the sweetheart at home heard the ramblings, answered the door with a cast iron skillet, cracked the lout over the head, and now he is out in the yard trying to figure out what to do next.

    is dead on. Benjamin Netanyahu needs to tell 0bama to go suck an egg. Until the Won serves his 4 years in the IDF, he has no platform from which to speak or dictate Israeli foreign policy.

    President Obama is NOT Jimmy Carter II. Obama is not that good.

  • dmacleo

    Israel will (rightfully) do whatever it needs to do in order to defend itself, and with this nugget of knowledge the potus gave others Israel may soon be attacked on multiple fronts again.

    this idiot may have just blown the powder keg up.

  • Old_Crow

    “The fact is this narcissistic buffoon gave a speech, placed himself front-and-center of developments in the Middle East and in fact, the United States for the first time in 70 years is utterly irrelevant to what

  • drfredc

    Giving away someone’s else’s land is just as easy to Obama as giving away some taxpayers money. So how’s that supposed to work here? Foreign donations are supposedly illegal.

    Except perhaps when you just visited geekland in CA making a deal provide a email program that someone can send to who knows what OPEC money bags that lets them sign up for upteen bazillion credit cards for Jane Does to contribute $5 to Obamacrat election coffers. Who needs the Jewish vote when you can get millions in donations to buy other votes with deceptive lies… Just tell’em there will be a backlash, which will die down, then he’ll come back in his 2nd term when he doesn’t have to worry about re-election.

    Jimmy Carter wasn’t this devious… Nor was the internet available to sign up for automated credit card signups. Otherwise, he’d have figured out how to get re-elected with Iranian $$$ and have the hostages released…

  • madamdeb

    You WISH.

  • libertyfreedom

    This is just a waste of time. The parties have to converge on a compromise that isn’t even close. This needs to evolve from both sides and just won’t work if outside groups Obama, quartet, etc impose a settlement on them.

    • izoneguy

      Until Hamas stops launching thousands of rockets a year into Israel then everything is just “words” – just “speeches”.

  • YnotNOW

    That his ideology is totally inept, out of touch, and narcissistic.
    – Budget deficits
    – Immigration and border security
    – Foreign Policy

    He has now proven that he fails miserably in all areas. All he can do is pander to his base and pat himself on the back, while making problems worse than they were before he tackled them.
