Israel's Largest Daily Newspaper Rebukes Romney and Endorses Obama

If you recall, in the third presidential debate Mitt Romney accuse Barack Obama of having betrayed Israel and of having basically kicked Israel to the curb in terms of a faithful ally.  According to Romney, Obama had seriously strained US/Israeli relations.  Well, today, Israel's most influential daily newspaper, Haaretz, endorsed Obama.  This clearly suggests to me that during the last presidential debate Romney was - oh the shock and surprise - lying yet again.  I swear to God, if Romney's lips are moving, the man is lying.   Here are highlights from the Haaretz endorsement of Barack Obama:

The outcome of the elections will be determined by the voters' decision as to which of the two candidates is good for America. But if any of them are vacillating in their vote over whether Obama has been a good president for Israel, the answer is yes.

Tens of millions of Americans will go to the polls on Tuesday to vote for a president and vice president. It will be an important day for American democracy. This will be the Americans' day, but the outcome of the elections will impact the entire world.

For Americans in general, and American Jews in particular, the United States' attitude toward Israel is just one of many factors to consider - among internal and foreign affairs, the economy and defense - when casting their vote.

But for various reasons, Republican candidate Mitt Romney has made incumbent President Barack Obama's policy toward Israel a hot-button issue in the campaign. One of those reasons is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's open support for Romney, who like him enjoys the patronage of casino magnate Sheldon Adelson.

 [A] deeper examination of the core issues comprising the two countries' relations - devoid of political and personal interests - reveals no grounds for portraying Obama in a negative light.

Obama continued this two-way track vis-a-vis Iran and the issue of Palestinian statehood. Under his pressure, Israel suspended for the first time - for a while - construction in the settlements. Relations between the two countries' armed forces have never been so close. Obama's challenge in his second term, if he wins the elections, is to lead the region to a stable arrangement of peace and security.  

Yes, once again, Mitt Romney was not telling the truth.  I truly don't think that Romney would recognize the truth if it beat him about the head with a two by four.  The man is a disgrace to to America.

Want to know Romney’s advice for storm survivors?
Don’t be a victim, and stop looking for handouts!
And.... ask your parents for help!
Heck, Romney will dismantle FEMA and the EPA 
(= more $$$ for his people/corporations).
Leave it to the states, he says.
Yeah, sure.
Maybe he'll make us dams.... out of his used Etch-A-Sketches?
What we need is a tidal wave
.......of voters.....
to sweep these kind of guys out of power.
This is the BEST way to help the victims
of present and future Sandys.
AND the best way to help yourself, and your family.
Obama does not dismiss 47% of America like Romney.
Obama says: This is not a Republican America.
This is not a Democratic America.
This is the UNITED States of America.
If only the other side would realize that fact!
