Obama Continues to Diss Israel
World Net Daily is running a story about how Dear Leader has insulted Israel once again: by showing the soles of his shoes. The picture was taken during a phone conversation Barry was having with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Abu Ahmed, a leader of Hamas' so-called military wing in the Gaza Strip, commented, "Just as a journalist humiliated (President) Bush with his shoes, this is how Obama is humiliating the Israeli government."
The gesture is not an insult in Judaism, but is widely regarded in the Muslim community as such. Aluf Benn, a commentator for the Israeli Haaretz newspaper weighed in: "As an enthusiast of Muslim culture, Obama surely knows there is no greater insult in the Middle East than pointing the soles of one's shoes at another person. Indeed, photos of other presidential phone calls depict Obama leaning on his desk, with his feet on the floor."
What is it going to take for Barry to realize that Israel is not the enemy?

It's hard to say what he's talking about on the phone in the pic, I think that after writing up my health care piece today it might be this -
Obamanation - "hello, presidential imposter here, is this Soros calling?"
Ted Kennedy on the line - "Mr. president, it is Teddy Kennedy calling, did you get my memo?"
Obamanation - "Uh, uh, uh, where's the teleprompter?"
Teddy - "Well Mr. President, the memo said that we need to get this health care thing through yesterday, we're going to make sure that it's 4,000 pages long and give congress one weekend to read it, that way there's no discussion."
Obamanation - "Uh, uh, uh, teleprompter???"
LCR -- LMAO! That was great! Maybe he had Biden holding cue cards as penance for knocking over the teleprompter.
