What is Obama going to do about North Korea, and Iran, and Israel? (sighs) You know, I love these easy questions. The first thing you have to understand about Israel is: they\u2019re on their own. Israel, whether you know it or not (I think they do) we have de-tethered. I mean, they\u2019re still an official ally, but Obama has thrown them under the bus. The King of Saudi Arabia told Obama &#8212; and remember, now, we get a lot of oil from them, and Obama bowed to the guy. Folks, Obama has far more roots, heritage, ability to relate to somebody like the king of Saudi Arabia than he does with Benjamin Netanyahu. May we say that without fear being raked over the coals for it? <\/p>\n<p>He said it himself in his Cairo speech. He was surrounded by Muslims growing up in three different countries. He understands he\u2019s got far more in common with the king of Saudi Arabia than he does with Benjamin Netanyahu or anybody else in Israel. So while he hasn\u2019t thrown Israel under the bus yet, they\u2019re in trouble. I said this on the Hannity interview last week on Fox. In that interview I didn\u2019t specify why, but I think he\u2019s got a big problem with Israel. He\u2019s got a huge problem with Israel. I\u2019m not going to speculate. It doesn\u2019t matter what or why, it just is. With the king saying &#8216;impose a solution\u2019 on the Israeli-Palestinian thing, to a guy who then later said we don\u2019t &#8216;impose our values.\u2019 (laughing) Netanyahu is due to make a speech this week. I have great qualms about our allied relationship with Israel under this administration. <\/p>\n<p>Iran. Look, put two and two together yourself. Obama has twice in the past two weeks, once in the big speech in Cairo, made the case that a nation like Iran should have nuclear power. They should get the assistance necessary to build nuclear power. Meanwhile, we are doing what? We\u2019re investing in&#8230;windmills! Solar panels! Lawn mowers with two seats on them called automobiles. We sell &#8212; the government running GM sells &#8212; the Hummer division to the ChiComs. The ChiComs are gonna grow their economy. They\u2019re going to give their people the opportunity to buy what they want. The ChiComs are looking at our debt and they\u2019re saying (summarizing), &#8216;You know, it\u2019s getting a little tough here. We may stop buying your debt. We\u2019re just going to start manufacturing products for sale to our own population, rather than focusing on exporting them to you and the rest of the world.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Now, Obama has proposed that there be a worldwide supply of uranium that the UN or somebody would control and parcel out on an as-needed basis. Like the Oil-for-Food program is a good example of it. I\u2019ve got it here in the stack. I\u2019ll get the details if I have time to get to it before the end of the program. Obama says we\u2019re going to interrupt some shipments from North Korea and to North Korea that would enhance nuclear programs elsewhere. The North Koreans and the ChiComs say, &#8216;Okay. You want to ramp it up on the seas? We\u2019ll join you out there.\u2019 I think the North Koreans and the Iranians are testing our president each and every day, and I think as our president runs around and tries the Conflict Resolution 101 approach &#8212; apologize for us, say, &#8216;We\u2019ve made some mistakes. We\u2019re big enough to admit it. We want you to find nuclear power\u2019 &#8212; they\u2019re laughing at us. I think they are seeing a golden opportunity to expand their own spheres of universe, North Korea and Iran both. Because they see in President Obama a weakling, somebody who can be manipulated. They\u2019re laughing at him, they\u2019re laughing at us, and it\u2019s not a laughing matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Albert in Cleveland.
