    Obama spoke at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, his first such appearance as president. He was announcing a plan to impose sanctions against foreign entities, chiefly Iran and Syria, who use technology to crackdown on dissidents.

    Obama broadly defended his government’s steps to halt mass killings during his three-plus years in office.

    He said “we have saved countless lives.”

    In a warning to other nations, the president said that national sovereignty is never a license to “slaughter your people.”

    Anti-semitism has been on the rise since you’re in office, Mr. Obama. These empty statements are meaningless in the face of your policies. We are not fooled!

    President Obama:

    By kowtowing to Palestinian pressure, you have nurtured the “seeds of hate” against Israel. May you be reminded that those seeds of hate are also directed at Jews world over, not just Israelis. You think it sunds nice to discuss “peace”, but that is a myth, just empty words, when you are dealing with a population of Muslims whose very charter calls for extermination of Israel and Jews everywhere. The fantasy of “peace” when United States is arming all these Arab countries with weapons that are used almost exclusively against Israel is tragic, not laughable. The PC babble about “peace” and “negotiation” is meaningless when we are dealing with entities that are savage and barbaric, basically non-verbal, and live by the sword. None of these countries or groups have ever lived up to fundamental expectations to abandon terror, and to refrain from the atrocities that characterize their very beings. And you wish to fool us all by lighting a candle in memory of those who perished in the Holocaust. Well, The Muslim world wants to repeat that Holocaust. This is not paranoia. We will REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

    Just saw Barack Obama speak with Elie Wiesel on Cspan at the Holocaust Memorial. Dignity and justice has no better friend than Mr. Obama and I am so glad that this man has a voice in a very denigrated society of radical preachers and heretics today.
