Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu Is No Friend Of America

BiBi, Israel's prime minister is once again trying to undermine the foreign policy of President Obama concerning Iran and the middle east.  In previous commentary I pointed out how Israel's leaders in the past have tried to undermine the peace process in the middle east and if any one starts a war in that part of the world it will be Israel with its nuclear weapons.

Now comes BiBi who wants President Obama to draw a line in the sand concerning Iran.  He is trying to control and make foreign policy for the U.S. and Obma should reject his right wing extreme policies.  Israel has a stock pile of nuclear weapons and a system to deliver those weapons.  What BiBi and Israel want is the ability to use their military power in the middle east with impunity.  It should be remembered that the leaders of Israel supported a war with Iraq over WMD that did not exist and they knew that those weapons did not exist. 

President Obama needs to keep BiBI at arms length and tell him and Israel to stay out of the foreign policy of the U.S.  Our leaders should not be willing to stoop so low as the leaders of Israel have done over the years.

A Revised Job Report and Count For The U.S. Economy

The U.S. Labor Department announced on Sept. 28 that the economy created 386,000 more net jobs than it originally reported for the year ending in March.  Total new jobs added was 453,000 new jobs and a loss of 67,000 government jobs for a net gain of 386,000 new jobs.

The latest report on consumer spending for the balance of 2012 is up and so is the consumer confidence index concerning the economy.  Part time hiring for the holiday season will be robust as reported by the retail sales industry.  The profound effect of the second great republican depression still demands a slower recovery than normal, but the President's policies are working, having a positive effect on the economy and job creation and slowly moving the country and its people to a full and lasting economic recovery and job creation.  And like in the past the republican party has nothing to offer the country or its people and have been a traitor to the people they represent by refusing to do any thing to help the President's policies move the country and its people forward.

Yes, November 6 will be a very important election.  The American people need to step up to the plate and reject the policies that produced the second great republican depression.
