Oy! Ed Schultz Actually Claims Netanyahu 'Very Satisfied' With Obama
Message to Ed Schultz -- if you are going to weigh in on the news, and in braying, scorched-earth fashion, it helps to pay attention to the news.
Case in point -- Schultz's fantasy-based claim on his radio show Monday about US relations with Israel since President Obama took office. (audio and video clips after page break)
Schultz was complaining about GOP Senator Lindsey Graham's criticism of Obama on "Fox News Sunday" when he said this (audio) --
SCHULTZ: Lindsey Graham says President Obama has made dangerous decisions. Listen to this one --
GRAHAM: In the last year he's made some very poor, dangerous foreign policy decisions at the strategic level. Israel has been thrown under the bus by this president. His ...
SCHULTZ: Ho, ho, ho, no, not true! Mr. Netanyahu is very satisfied with the way President Obama has operated with the Israelis. Play it again --
GRAHAM: (same remarks as previously quoted, followed by this): His standing in the state of Israel is very low. The Iranians don't fear us at all, they're trying to attack us here at home. So I would argue that Iraq and Afghanistan's being run out of Chicago ...
SCHULTZ: Really? Well I'm glad they are being run out of Chicago, because when Iraq and Afghanistan were being run out of Washington it cost us thousands of lives and trillions of dollars and gutted our infrastructure, thanks to your crowd, Sen. Graham.
"Very satisfied"? Is Schultz dumb, deluded, deceitful -- or all of the above? He's among the few people who haven't caught on that diplomats claiming "cordial" negotiations is actually code for furniture being weaved across the room.
Not unexpectedly, Schultz cited no examples to bolster his claim. Trouble is, finding them would have required a long, fruitless fishing expedition.
Netanyahu wasn't exactly "very satified" with Obama when he met with him during a March 2010 visit to Washington. Here's how Megyn Kelly of Fox News described it --
Netanyahu went to the White House to talk Mideast peace concerns. But not only did the Israeli leader not get the traditional photo op granted to any head of state, now we're hearing he was left to cool his heels in a meeting room for over an hour while President Obama walked out to have dinner with his family, which some are saying is an extraordinary breach of protocol.
The following month, Netanyahu decided against attending a nuclear security summit hosted by Obama in Washington, that less than satisfying discussion with Obama only weeks earlier still fresh in his memory.
The best example of how Schultz's claim has no basis in reality came during Netanyahu's most recent negotiations with Obama this past May. During an Oval Office photo op, Netanyahu bluntly rejected Obama's suggestion that Israel revert to its pre-1967 war borders. Here's NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell's take on "Meet the Press" the following Sunday --
He (Obama) did have language that said there would be land swaps to protect Israel's security, but it was taken as a red flag by Netanyahu. And what happened then was that even if this was implicit in things that previous presidents had said, Netanyahu seized on it even before he got on the plane. He criticized the president and in such a fashion, he lectured him in the Oval Office. And if you look at that picture that you have up there right now (footage shown of Oval Office meeting), it was a stone-faced Barack Obama and Netanyahu basically treating him like a schoolboy.
Which, come to think of it, Netanyahu may have found very satisfying.

. . . UN recognition of a Palestinian state. Netanyahu was publicly pleased with the US stand, but that doesn't mean he's very satisfied with Obama, who has treated hostile dictators with more respect than he has Netanyahu. Netanyahu has even addressed a joint session of Congress because he had no confidence in Obama and Hillary Clinton to relay his message to Americans.

Netanyahu is perfectly satisfied that Obama does not like Israel and is trying to destroy her. Obama is like a little boy with a little boy mind pretending to be an adult. In meetings with heads of state, he is always the child, never the adult.
What a pair Ed and Obama make. Lard @$$ and whiny @$$ together in la la land. ha, ha, ha.

And he is. :-)
I also have to wonder which person Netanyahu holds in more contempt.
Is it Akhmedinnadinnerjacket, who at least admits he wants to blow Israel off the face of the planet, or is it B. Hussein Obama, who pretends to support Israel while working to make the region safe for true-believing, rabid Israel-haters to take power?
I'm guessing it's the latter.

The other thing is that liberals like him live in a world so filled with lies that they actually believe all that crap. I think it was Glenn Beck that said liberalism is a disease. People like Schultz prove that every day with their irrational nonsense. Also, I'd like to beat him with my Louisville Slugger. Just for fun.

Submitted by killa37 on Fri, 10/28/2011 - 2:02am.
Yep............and given the libs that I know over here, Jer...........I think it's an accurate statement!!! Savage is a very smart guy, but probably a little too 'intense' for the average person.
I've got a client.......he's in the '1%'. He just called me up to his house - which we built for him a couple of years ago - to address some issues that he's having with some wild pigs - which can cause a LOT of property damage. I like the guy a lot - and he likes me too - but he is 180 degrees opposite me on the political spectrum, although he probably doesn't know why, because he only follow lib news.
We had a conversatiion yesterday, while I was checking out his property and trying to come up with some way to deal with this problem.....and he was going on and on about the OWS bowel movement, and the rich, and bla bla bla bla bla, you know???
And then I had to remind him that he WAS 'the rich'............and if the OWS knew where he lived and how he made his money, they would be all over his ass too!!! And you know what, Jer?? He actually ADMITTED that I was right??? ME!!! L'il ol' blue-collar high-school graduate KILLA!!! He wakes up every morning ......checks his stocks, checks his portfolio, checks his gold (he has a LOT of gold!!!).........and then goes right to the lib news!!!
He told me he needs to see a psychiatrist!!! Hahahahahaha!!! I told him he has ME!!! And I charge a HELLUVA lot LESS than any psychiatrist.........and I'm a lot more SANE..........and have a lot more COMMON SENSE!!!
But, you know what??? He does have a sense of humor, and he does consider the things that I say to him, and he does pay me pretty well for doing work for him, so why would I engage in 'class warfare'??? I've never worked for somebody who couldn't afford hiring me and my subcontactors and suppliers, so I'm not a 'class warfare' kind of guy.
