President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address last Tuesday was free of surprises. He spent most of it on domestic American issues, such as the slow growth of the economy and the steady rise in the federal debt. He also focused on the middle class and made it his issue, promising that this segment of society would reap the gains of an improvement in the economy. The president mentioned some foreign policy issues; he promised to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and to continue his pressure on the Syrian regime. We will find out if he has a new position on the peace process when he visits Israel (and Ramallah and Amman) next month. The speech should be the most important one we hear from the president during his second term, as it set down a list of priorities, and there remains holding him accountable during the coming four years. Although the speech was important, the international media gave it too much attention. I decided to wait and monitor the reactions of Israel and its supporters, and the neoconservatives, and other members of the evil cabal. They ate the president alive, or nearly did. An item on an Israeli-American pro-Likud website was entitled "Most Dishonest State of the Union." It compared the relatively long speech to one of Fidel Castro's seven-hour addresses. It said the president's performance was "obscene," as he fought the middle class. He was speaking to the richest politicians in Washington, who are all bought and paid for by the Israeli lobby, which has them in its pockets. Another article was entitled "The Democratic Disgrace," and on the day President Obama was giving his speech the pro-Likud website could only talk about the killing of the American ambassador in Libya, holding the Democrats responsible as if they killed him, even though the terror of Israel is what has launched all other terror in the Middle East and elsewhere. The president of Fox News, Roger Ailes, said in an interview with the New Republic that President Obama was busy with making people hate each other, even though Fox News is open to the most vile, hateful and extremist people in America. The pro-IsraeliWashington Times found only in the president's State of the Union address that it was a "wish list" for liberals. At least liberals did not take part in the killing of one million Arabs and Muslims based on deliberate falsified evidence. Michael Gerson in The Washington Post chose the day that Obama gave his speech to talk about how "George W. Bush's words in State of Union saved millions." Bush was not even fluent in English and his mistakes are in books that mock him. Even so, Gerson believes that the most important thing on 12 February 2013 is to remind people that Bush said in his 2003 State of the Union address that "“Tonight I propose the Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, a work of mercy beyond all current international efforts to help the people of Africa and prevent seven million new AIDS infections" in Africa. These words saved seven million Africans? I have one thing right, namely that the cabal of Israel, the neoconservatives, and the lobby hijacked American foreign policy from an idiot president and planned for the US to wage wars that it all lost, and saw (once again) the killing of one million Arabs and Muslims, and destroyed the economy of the US and the entire world with it. In The Weekly Standard, the spokesman for the Israeli mafia, I read: "There He Goes Again," and again, "Unfulfilled Promises." The National Review, another pro-Likud publication, spoke about deceit in the State of the Union address. Richard Cohen, a generally objective writer, titled his column in The Washington Post on the day of Obama's speech "On Syria, Obama looks the other way," in which he criticizes the administration's failure to intervene in Syria. I ask, who gives the US the right to intervene in any country with its foreign policy in the hands of the Israeli lobby and its allies from among traitorous American politicians? The Syrian people alone have the right to topple the regime, and the only legitimate and acceptable assistance is from Arab states opposed to the violence of the regime. No one else has the right to intervene in Syria or any other Arab country. Understood? [email protected]
