As War Ravages Gaza, Silent Barack Works on Golf Game

20 Days Ahead of Inauguration, President-elect Seems Distant From Growing Crisis
With the death toll in the Gaza Strip still rapidly rising, incoming President-elect Barack Obama’s initial reaction of "no immediate comment" has seamlessly segued into an official policy of no comment, period. As Obama and family continue to enjoy a luxurious vacation in Hawaii, his attention seems far more focused on his golf game than the foreign policy crisis he is poised to inherit.
The silence from Hawaii is almost deafening, with Obama’s staff using the oft-repeated excuse that the US "has only one president at a time" to justify his lack of commentary. The silence, combined with his cabinet choices, has punctuated what many already believe: that when the Obama Administration takes the White House next month, little will have really changed.
A small group of protesters at his rented vacation home hope to ensure that the President-elect is at least aware of what is going on. But if Obama saw the protesters as his motorcade took him to play a game of basketball, he didn’t show it. There was no word of how many points Obama scored, but it is unlikely to have rivaled the number of casualties in the Gaza Strip during the game. And the silence continues.

| Comment by dirk diggler - 01 Jan 2009 - 11:57 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | Obama serves his Israeli masters. The life of one Israeli is worth more than all the Palestinians combined. It is a small matter to slaughter them, as they are not much more than beasts anyway. |
| Comment by ezrider - 01 Jan 2009 - 14:07 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | What a pathetic article. Bush is President. Some so-called writers make themse lves look foolish trying to discredit Obama. Anything he said at this time woul d be meaningless until he is inaugurated. In the meantime, try writing about fa shion. |
| Comment by ian mckenzie - 01 Jan 2009 - 16:34 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | Osama, Obama, Tim Osman,"the supposed person uk cops were after when Richard De Menezes was shot" Does this combination of letters have some obscure NWO or Free Masonic meaning? seems very coincidental. |
| Comment by mary mckeen from boston - 01 Jan 2009 - 17:46 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | President elected Barack Obama, when are you going to do something for the oppre ssed people of Palestine? You are the person most of the people believed in, ple ase prove us right, prove that you deserved to be elected. Do not be afraid of t he evil money lovers zionists who try to rule our country and rule the whole wor ld, remember that you are the President and we the folks, the hard working Americans are here for you and with you in the name of justice and to free those oppressed people. Step forward in the name of justice, stop hiding behind the golf cart to pretend you do not care. You gotta care!!! Bye bye forver Bush, go to Israel, in where you belong! Go now, do not wait till January 21st! Ha, and take all your family with you, we do not want any Bushes around here. I don not think that Paraguay would like any of you over there neither. |
| Comment by professorpoopypants - 01 Jan 2009 - 20:06 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | Oh my gawd......could it be that this man is just another cocksucking ass taster ? What are the odds that the American people have been conned again into having the New World Order continue their reign of terror throught he use of another ga y puppet? I'd say based on his performance so far, that he has Satan's cock pret ty far down his throat. |
| Comment by the avenger - 01 Jan 2009 - 20:40 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | fuck obama. he is a puppet just like bush. the puppetmaster is the head of illum inati. any muslim who expects favor from a disbeliever or from an enemy of Allah the Most High is a loser. America is the right arm of dajjal. the jews will bri ng the entire us army to mideast soon for their messianic delusions. anyone who conspires against Allah will face a humiliating and terrible end. it is the obligation of every muslim to get organized and fight back. don't expect almahdi to come to fight by himself. get organize around the truth. for their system is based on falsehood. and the truth will in your hand will be the sharpest sword ever. |
| Comment by mashj - 02 Jan 2009 - 00:13 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | I love these Obama apologists ,they will be flat out for the next 4 years at lea st explaining why their favourite glove puppet is doing the thing's he's doing l ike EZRIDER , poor bugger thinks Obama is a good bloke! He's also forgotten that it was only last month that Obama started taking center stage holding press con ferences on this and that shooting his mouth off about what he was gunna do about this and that blah blah blah how he was gunna fix the economy because his Zionist puppet masters told him to,Now of course he's been told by the same guys to shut the F**k up!!. New policy overnight Go to Hawaii , you know the place where we forged your Birth certificate release form ! Uh Huh ? yeah right ok I'll go dere, good boy now remeber ,Shutup .play Golf play Basketball just shut up!.This is not rocket science folks this guy is the worst yet,He's the Caligula of our time he will help tear this world down into a screaming pit of fire if he can ,stay tuned don't touch that dial here on Zionist TV there's more bullshit heading your way at the speed of Light,and one last word for all you Obama BAAHH BAAHH cult members , get out of the paddock the truck's coming and it ain't taking you to Disneyland! |
| Comment by americantothecore - 02 Jan 2009 - 05:52 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | Out of curiosity, why should AMERICA care one wit
about a place that has absolutely NO VALUE in
ANY sense of the word to the USA whatsoever.
I getting REALLY TIRED of the world expecting
US to be the worl'd policeman and to BAIL THEM OUT
...it's about time we ABANDONED the rest of the
world and go completely ISOLATIONIST and focus
on our OWN PROBLEMS at home.
My suggestion is we pull OUR TROOPS out of
EVERY COUNTRY in the world and tell the
rest of you to GO SUCK AN EGG and solve
your own problems --- NO MORE FOREIGN AID
TO ANYONE PERIOD !!!! HAVE A DISASTER ????
THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM - NOT OURS - YOU DEAL WITH IT !!!!!
HAVE A WAR - AGAIN, NOT OUR PROBLEM - YOU DEAL WITH IT !!!
NO MORE WORLD BANK, UN, WORLD FOOD PROGRAM
NOTHING NADA NIX NAY and see how long it takes
for YOU smarten up and shoulder YOUR OWN LOADS !!!!!
And ANYONE who even THINKS about performing
even a SINGLE act of terror on OUR SHORES,
gets NUKED - NO QUESTIONS ASKED OR POSITED !!!
It's time America goes BACK to what it once was!
ACTING IN IT'S OWN INTERESTS for its OWN SOCIETY
An America acting ONLY on American Soil
for AMERICANS ONLY !!!!!
The rest of you can go to hell
and leave US ALONE !!!!!!!

| Comment by mikeodd - 02 Jan 2009 - 10:20 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | What is Obama supposed to say that will actually matter? Isn't the very timing o f this latest outrage suspiciously convenient? Dubya's swan song, so close to Is raeli elections...Until Israelis reject the hardline cowards that run it, it wil l NEVER be at peace! |
| Comment by philiptravers - 02 Jan 2009 - 13:56 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | I see, from other e-mailers including the American one, that it very difficult f or some to see the injustice in the bombing of Palestine.I have a similar feelin g,when, I wonder about Israel the Jewish State as Zionist.I have come round to n ow thinking,the majority of Israelis today,are absolutely conned,that they maybe Jews, but, they are being conned by history,and a some powerful tribal matter within the plethora of Jewish groups that have made Israel home.Their government is unrepresentative swill.Driven by false and misleading foundational Constitutional matters.The bombing of Palestine,and the receivals of monies from the U.S.A. is to keep the deceit hidden and unactionable within the changing borders of Israel.The Jewish Settler Movement into Palestinian territory. etc., actually represents the weakness in the legal matters of Constitutionality.The same can be said,in part, with Australia,as the Constitutionality of our legal framework historically rests on a very small percentage of the population supporting Federalism.In one respect,Palestine has more of a Right to call itself a nation,than Australia ,and Israel.But, how we deceive ourselves,it seems is to be bloodthirsty.The inaction of Obama,in a lack of definite statement alone,means, he doesn't feel the responsibility of his soon legal position.He is, therefore, a fool. |
