Obama says Israel is a “Constant wound” and a “Constant sore” that infects “all of our foreign policy.”
Obama, under fire for attracting praise and support for his presidential run from the terrorist group Hamas, spoke to Atlantic Monthly at length about his views of the Middle East.
Asked if he thought Israel represented a drag on America’s reputation overseas, Obama said: “No, no, no. But what I think is that this constant wound, that this constant sore, does infect all of our foreign policy. The lack of a resolution to this problem provides an excuse for anti-American militant jihadists to engage in inexcusable actions, and so we have a national-security interest in solving this, and I also believe that Israel has a security interest in solving this because I believe that the status quo is unsustainable. I am absolutely convinced of that, and some of the tensions that might arise between me and some of the more hawkish elements in the Jewish community in the United States might stem from the fact that I’m not going to blindly adhere to whatever the most hawkish position is just because that’s the safest ground politically.”

Obama Hussein Mohammad is a closet Muslum.
He is NOT a Christian. Liberation Theology is
not Christian and he has made it plain that he
will not leave the church. The new pastor preaches
the same stuff as Rev. Wright and just as passionately.
He is also a vicious anti-semite with such a remark.
How ironic that we should have such a man running
for the Presidency only a few years after 9-11, His
background and name says it all.
