What did Barak tell the Godfather to tell Barack?
The Barak/Emanuel meeting made news in Israel.
Haaretz reported, “At their meeting, Barak told Emanuel that Netanyahu is unapologetic for his stance on Iran, but that he has absolutely no intention to support one presidential candidate or another or get involved in any other way in the elections.”
The Times of Israel said Barak met Emanuel “to deliver a message of rapprochement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency suggested that Barak may have had his own agenda with Emanuel. “There are somewhat conflicting reports as to what Barak’s exact message was and — as they say in Chicago — who sent him. Specifically, it is unclear whether he was looking to help Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or trying to undercut him,” the JTA reported.
I think Haaretz had it right.Emanuel earlier this month resigned as a co-chair of the Obama campaign in order to raise money for the SuperPAC supporting Obama. As a presidential confidant, Emanuel doesn’t need a title to send — or receive — a message. With polls trending Obama’s way, Netanyahu may simply want to hedge his bet.

Why bother? Obama cast his lot against the Jews a long time ago. You know most people today, even historians, forget that Romania, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Hungary all enacted Nuremberg-like Race Laws against the Jews in the 1930's before any hostilities erupted in Europe. All Hitler had to do is pick up the phone and suggest that it would be better for them if they did. This is what Obama is; a thug, a tyrant a gangster and a second term Obama will be the end of most dealings between Israel and the US. Of course the useful idiots, the American Jewish Democrats will still vote for him but there's nothing to be done about that. What's left is to weaken Obama in Congress and work to strip away as many Democratic seats in both houses as possible.
