Which one of these two graphic art expressions about Obama you find more credible, Saudi or Israeli?

As long as they both don't like Obama...that's all good.

Wouldn't that be ironic if the Israelis and the Palestinians finally came together and found common ground in a common enemy, Obama, and joined forces to boot him out of their business so they can continue fighting each other to settle their own disputes like civilized people.

This whole issue has my head spinning. I also visit thetreeofliberty.org forums and the people over there swear up and down Obama is a Muslim and he wants to destroy Israel, and they're pretty convincing with their own articles/cartoons/evidence/etc.

I'm beginning to think that the people who got this guy elected want him to raise hatred on both sides--the old trick of funding both sides of a conflict for financial gain--but this time they're funding both sides psychologically as well as financially.

Since U.S. foreign policy has a history of supplying both Israel and its enemies with guns and money, and he's not done a thing to change that. I'd say they're both accurate.

Because you're in the spin zone of US foreign policy : -)

But is US FP really as circular as this article suggests?
