Wexler

Today is the final day in office for “fire-breathing liberal” U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler. On Monday he begins his job as head of the nonprofit Center For Middle East Peace and Economic Cooperation, a post in which Wexler says he’ll try to convince wary Israelis to support President Obama’s policies in the region.

   Yes, Robert Wexler is just the calm, reasoned, non-judgmental voice we all need in the Middle East. This appointment makes as much sense as packaging dynamite with kerosene, or as much sense as a majority of the Jewish community having voted for Barack Obama in the first place.

   What a perfect marriage…Obama and Wexler, both useless and both liars!Maybe he should try pitching Obama’s garbage here at home first before he tries to go out and pull the wool over the Israelis’ eyes. Unlike most of the American people who voted for that P.O.S. Obama, the Israelis are much smarter.

   Wexler and Ron Klein…two peas in a pod. Party hacks who vote the party line regardless of the effects on their own constituents. And the idiots keep electing them. I despair for America.

   Let’s hope that the Israelis are smarter than we were.

   I suppose this is the end result of Obama chastising Israel on his maiden march into the Whitehouse. Probably one of his original great expositions of pure international ingorance. Israel has been our ally for decades. Oh I almost forgot Muslims don’t like Israelis do they. Goes to show the truth comes out. Israel is cunningly smart It will take more than a part-time Jew, full time politician by the name of Wexler to pull the wool over their eyes.

   We forced you to resign by calling you out and if you think that we will support this ..you are out of touch.

   Wexler, Obama sold all of us out including you…stop faking it. It is too clue.

   You are going to support again to push the Israelis out of the home. You are an embarrassment & the entire party should pay you not to be involved in the Democratic Party.

   Maybe if you spoke to American Jews and Israelis they would tell you that you are wrong and so is he.

   Out of touch with reality.

   Wexler and obama are both lying thru their mouth about supporting Israelis.
   Israelis must not trust what Obama and his czar [red book friends] are saying.
   NEVER TRUST OBAMA PERIOD……

   WEXLER AND HIS LIBERAL SOCIALIST BUDDIES OBAMA AND PELOSI DO NOT SUPPORT ISRAEL. HOW COULD ANY REAL SUPPORTER OF ISRAEL EVER SUPPORT OBAMA? THIS CROWD HAS DONE ONE HECK OF A SALES JOB ON THE JEWISH COMMUNITY AND THEY THINK HE IS JUST WONDERFUL AS THEY SELL ISRAEL DOWN THE DRAIN. WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

    They voted him in and continue to do so every election so they deserve what Wexler does to them. And the same goes for the Jews voting for Obama, if they didn’t see that coming then they probably also gave Madoff money too. It will all come out soon enough.

    Wake up!

    With Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, running the Middle East show in the White House, Israel will NEVER be thrown under the bus. (remember Rahm NEVER served in the US military, but ran to Israel and joined up in the first Gulf war..so we know that Israel is Rahm’s #1 country, and the USA is #2). Nothing will be done to hurt Israel.

    It is more important to elect people who make the USA #1, not #2 and that fill their cabinet positions with people loyal to the USA.

    There is AIPAC and there is J Street. Two ‘different’ philosophies, but both loyal to Israel.

    Remember, we send OUR children to war, and Israel does NOT have THEIR children fighting BESIDE our children. Israel wants protection, but will not fight BESIDE our children.

    Taxpayers sent $900 Billion to Israel, yes, that is Billion. Nearly a trillion dollars of our hard earned money to other countries.

    So the USA supports Israel with the blood of our children and the money workers earn.

    Support Israel; but am tired of Israel keeping their youth in their country while we send our youth to die for them. That’s just plain wrong.

    Israelis have a powerful impact on our political system. The American people need to wake up, demand that our children have Israeli children fighting BESIDE them.

    Wexler is a sham. He has alienated his constituents. Who funds Middle East Peace and Economic Cooperation that ‘hired’ him. And Wexler has KEPT his campaign money for another possible run at a governmental office. (Use it in Maryland, don’t even try it here in FL)

    Don’t let a religion or other countries manipulate our government and demand that countries that want the USA to fight for them, send THEIR CHILDREN to fight BESIDE OUR CHILDREN.

    Getting tired of deaths of our children on the battle field for Israeli children, and they don’t even fight for their country. Cowards.

    It’s your children America, that are dying for another country that fails to send their children to fight beside ours. It’s shameful. Our children are being USED.
