What Will Obama's Middle East Legacy Be?

Jewish Organization's Add Slams Obama's Middle East Policy

Despite the timely rhetoric coming from President Obama, in light of the past 3 1/2 years of actions, I find it puzzling that more Jewish organizations have not come out with strong stances like this one. It is so overwhelmingly obvious that our President is attempting to convince many constituents that are currently on the fence that he is pro-Israel.  However, it seems just as obvious to me that he is doing so in a serious attempt to woo back wealthy donors for his campaign as well as the Jewish vote.

What is also painfully obvious is that our President continues to have a consistent record of completely inept policies, disgraceful misalignment and horrific naïveté viz. a vie the middle east and Israel. It is my humble opinion that if re-elected, we will need to prepare for the nightmare to get worse...much, much worse!


Many experts have now concluded that the so-called "Arab spring" has, rather than create an atmosphere of freedom and democracy in the middle east, instead has promoted a worsening powder keg up to now, allowing extremists to have greater influence and promoting Iran and Turkey to regional powers.  We have not seen anything close to the worst possible scenario, though.  America's influence in the middle east is currently at its lowest point in the last 100 years.


If our current President gets re-elected, his policies will further erode American strength and continue to promote his neo-socialist and borderline extremist views of tolerance of all...including those with obviously evil intent.


His use of the Bin Laden assassination and the Egyptian and Libyan fiascos as an attempt to show he has strength is merely smoke and mirrors. His current influence on the Syrian debacle - or lack thereof - and this administrations cow-towing to Russia and China, especially with regard to Syria and Iran, is further evidence of that.


I challenge anyone to simply examine this President's current policies - and you will see that they have been by far the most onerous policies toward Israel of any American President since the birth of Israel. If you want to see America regain a position of influence for good again in the world and you have any passion for supporting Israel's right to defend itself against evil, I implore you to consider carefully who you vote for this November.
