It begins: Obama edges towards Jewish control of Congress claims

This week, amid statements of an unequivocal nature from B Obama that he would PROTECT Iran’s interest in negotiations by vetoing ANY bill from congress automatically imposing sanction if negotiations fail BY JULY, Sen Robert Menendez (D-NJ) told Obama and the world, he didn’t care and Dems and Repubs were working BOTH SIDES of the aisle to get a sanction bill passed.
NOW.
Of course, this entire performance is occurring in front the curtain behind which Iran is giggling since they will NEVER, CAN NEVER give up the weapon, the ONLY WEAPON AND MANNER, which THEY BELIEVE will make safe the Iranian Islamic State.
File under, ‘We noticed the Kim family vs Sadam and Qaddaffi, stupid Yanquis’

This was B Obama’s response.

Obama: Dem Senators Do What Donors Tell Them

At a closed-door meeting on Thursday, President Barack Obama suggested that some Democratic senators base their foreign policy positions on the preferences of their campaign donors.
Sen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.) was livid at the president’s claim that his Democratic colleagues support increased sanctions on Iran as a way of appeasing their financial contributors, the New York Times reported:
The president said he understood the pressures that senators face from donors and others, but he urged the lawmakers to take the long view rather than make a move for short-term political gain, according to the senator. Mr. Menendez, who was seated at a table in front of the podium, stood up and said he took “personal offense.”
Mr. Menendez told the president that he had worked for more than 20 years to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions and had always been focused on the long-term implications. Mr. Menendez also warned the president that sanctions could not be imposed quickly if Congress waited to act and the talks failed, according to two people who were present.

Imagine if Chuck Schumer, who I am sure feels as Mr, Menendez does, made the same statements. Could a veiled claim of dual loyalties be far off?
Meanwhile, in other Democratic Presidential  stupidities…

Jimmy Carter: Israeli-Palestinian conflict a cause of Paris attacks

Former President Jimmy Carter said the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was among the factors that led to the deadly attacks last week in Paris.
Carter made the assertion Monday night during an appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart.
“Well, one of the origins for it is the Palestinian problem. And this aggravates people who are affiliated in any way with the Arab people who live in the West Bank and Gaza, what they are doing now — what’s being done to them. So I think that’s part of it,” Carter told Stewart.
Carter said the United States must be “in the forefront of demanding that the Palestinians and the Israelis come together and accept a reasonable solution to the problem.”
His formula, he told Stewart, is for Israel to give up the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem and for the Palestinians to promise Israel security.

'for the Palestinians to promise Israel security.'

PS, a little Jimmy Carter donor news, Pres Obama
From the NY Daily News (Liberal if not Progressive)

To see Jimmy Carter’s true allegiances, just follow the money

In embracing Hamas last week in direct defiance of the wishes of Congress and the President, ex-President Jimmy Carter raised the question of why he was granting precious prestige and credibility to an organization the U.S. government has designated a “foreign terrorist organization” since 1995.
If he was hoping to rekindle a flagging peace process, Carter’s trip was doomed to failure; Hamas remains committed to the destruction of the state ofIsrael. So does this trip merely reflect a tremendous lack of judgment on Carter’s part?
Perhaps the answer is more complicated. You see, the Carter Center, the ex-President’s not-for-profit research and activist organization, has prospered over the years as a direct result of Arab largesse. Many of these “charitable” interests support Islamic fundamentalism and are vehemently anti-Israel.
The full extent of these connections is unknown because the amount and source of the Carter Center’s funding is not public. But from various news reports and press releases, one can begin to sketch a very troubling picture.
For example, Saudi Arabia, the source of 15 of the 19 plane hijackers on 9/11 and whose royal family has funded terrorism outside the kingdom, has channeled tens of millions of dollars into the Carter Center over the years. In 1993 alone, the late King Fahd gifted $7.6 million, while more recently, the king’s nephew, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, donated at least $5 million to the Carter Center. The Carter Center has a $36 million annual budget; these amounts are hardly insignificant to its ongoing operations.
Another million-dollar-plus backer is Sultan Qaboos sin Said, monarch ofOman. Considerable financial support comes from the United Arab Emirates as well.
There’s more. In 2001, Carter received the $500,000 Zayed International Prize for the Environment and, the following year, praised the efforts of the Abu Dhabi-based Zayed Center for Coordination and Follow Up.
The Zayed Center has repeatedly hosted anti-Semitic Holocaust deniers, supported terrorism and asserted that there is an international conspiracy of Jews and Zionists for world domination, and that a Jewish-American conspiracy perpetrated the atrocities of 9/11.
It would seem that all of this money is not without its influence. Contrast Carter’s relentless criticism of Israel, the most modern and democratic country in the Middle East, to his appreciation of such authoritarian countries as the UAE, which he described as an “almost completely open and free society.”
Whether the United States can or should interrupt this stream of funding to Carter’s operations, it at the very least should not supplement it.
Yet - believe it or not - the United States government itself has been providing millions of dollars to the Carter Center over the years. Representative Joe Knollenberg (R-Mich.) estimates that the center received $19 million in federal funding since 2001 alone, and has called for passage of a bill that would immediately cut off all federal financing for the center.
Carter is free to travel around the world, stir up trouble, and cheer on terrorists and terrorist sympathizers. But U.S. taxpayers should not help him do this. And Carter should finally come clean and disclose the amounts and sources of all foreign funding for his center.
Just as the American public has a right to know whether a scientist researching the root causes of global warming is being funded by major oil companies, we should know who is supporting Carter’s lobbying efforts to bring “peace” to the Middle East.
It is indeed a sad day in American history when a former President lowers himself to becoming a propaganda tool for terrorists bent on harming our country and the democratic principles by which we live - and we cannot even discover who is paying his bills.
