      Okay...let me get this straight. On one hand, the Troglodytes think Obama is too chummy with the Muslims, and now he's supposed to worry about the same Troglodytes thinking he's too chummy with the Jews?

        One thing we can be sure of...

        Whenever something bad happens in the world, it will be a backlash against something Obama has done (or hasn't done), or might be doing, or was thinking about doing.

        You just wouldn't see this kind of innuendo if a conservative was in office.

          Exactly. Obama can do nothing with a positive outcome, and Bush could do nothing with a negative outcome. But they're not partisan, nooooo....

          Hmmmmm.......sounds kind of familiar. Who did the media and Americans treat like that in the past.
          Oh yeah - it was Bush. Amazing how hard it is for the Left to take what they dished out for the 8 years - well okay, maybe just 7 1/2 years Bush was in office.

            Wrong again. Criticisms of Bush had a direct cause/effect. For example: unnecessary war=thousands of dead innocent people. Or: warrantless wiretapping/torture=shredding the constitution.

        You got it. The Trogs hate BOTH the Muslims and Jews.

        Oh and, as if anyone needs to be reminded, they hate the Blacks too.

        okay, I want to try this out just for once...
        (blows tune on pitch pipe)

        Well...you know, maybe it's about time that Barrack Husein O'bamma stop being so chummy with the terrorist Muslims and the Christ-killing Jews and get more chummy with the good God-fearing Christians who founded this country and who still want to see his real birth certificate! WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!!!!!

        Well, now, that was...excuse me--

      Anne,
      How about this question tomorrow:

      "It has been learned that he posted many things online under the name RUSH IS RIGHT. Have we learned if he was a fan of Rush Limbaugh"

      Gibbs: Next question?

      Reporter: Is Obama thinking that backlash from his visit to the D-Day Memorial led to the Air France plane crash?

      Well if that wasn't a "blame America first" question I don't know what is. I know Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc will be all over that. Oh wait...

      I seem to recall Reagan visiting Bitburg. But the 'backlash' from Reagan's visit was that Elie Wiesel made a chiding public statement about it.

      Now Obama visits Buchenwald with Wiesel, and clearly the fatal rampage by an anti-semitic terrorist could have been avoided if only Obama had read the tea leaves correctly.

      These are the kind of ridiculous questions that beltway reporters have been asking for eons. Cheez, Ann Compton, give us a major break. The overdone speculation that goes on and on and on, without any new information. Meanwhile so much never gets covered, or asked about.
