Who is Obama’s Favorite Middle East Leader? An Anti-American Radical Who Loathes America and Israel

And see my interview on Canadian television
Not today it isn’t. President Barack Obama can’t stand Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In a recent statement to French President Nicholas Sarkozy, caught by a microphone both men thought was off, Obama said: “You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!”
There is, however, a man who Obama loves to deal with, if not every day at least as often as possible: Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
As Turkish expert Soner Cagaptay put it, “The United States and Turkey are on a honeymoon, with President Obama and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan having formed what is probably the best relationship between a U.S. president and a Turkish prime minister in decades…. Obama and Erdogan seem to have really hit it off…. The two leaders speak often… and frequently agree on policy.”
I would also stress that Erdogan is Obama’s tutor on Middle East affairs:
–When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other Obama Administration officials claim that Islamists like the Muslim Brotherhood are really moderate and will be further moderated by being in power, the only example provided was that Erdogan’s regime is moderate.
–The U.S. government announced last September 11 its self-described main initiative for the tenth anniversary of the attacks on America. It was an international counterterrorist organization with Turkey as the sole co-chair. Israel was not invited to join.
–When the Turkish regime has engaged in anti-Israel tirades–which Turkey’s opposition leader has called going to the verge of war with Israel–no U.S. criticism, pressure, or lessening of the Obama-Erdogan love affair has taken place. By acting in this way, Obama has licensed Erdogan’s anti-Israel policies and his regime’s at times antisemitic rhetoric.
–Despite the Turkish government’s opposition to additional sanctions on Iran last year and Erdogan’s effort to sabotage U.S. efforts by cutting a separate deal with Tehran, Obama was not perturbed.
–Erdogan’s close and supportive relationship with Hizballah and Hamas have not brought any U.S. negative reaction.
–The U.S. government and mass media have systematically avoided talking about this regime’s ties to terrorist groups, including its sponsorship of the Gaza flotilla which was organized by the IHH terrorists. The Turkish regime has also been involved in antisemitic actions, like an antisemitic website sponsored by the Turkish Education Ministry.
–Erdogan has publicly stated that he believes Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons and that Iranian President Ahmadinejad was his friend. Lately they haven’t been getting along so well. Why, Turkish moderation? No, Erdogan wants a Sunni Islamist regime in Syria; Ahmadinejad wants the current Damascus government which is his ally.
“Erdogan is a con-man in this regard; Obama is his sucker we are their victims. As a result, nations will be enslaved (or further enslaved); the prospects for real democracy will recede, Israel will face tremendous dangers, and U.S. interests will suffer greatly.”
What if Erdogan and Obama basically agree in regards to policy goals? Obama’s foreign policy has been too consistently anti-American to be explained by naiveté or fecklessness. If one uses a political calculus in that Obama’s foreign policy is geared toward the long range undermining of US interests and influence globally then his foreign policy becomes remarkably steadfast and successful. What is naive is to assume that given Obama’s past political and personal relationships that his foreign policy would be anything but anti-American.
” . . . anti-American.”
That’s Obama, exactly!
You hit the nail on the head. One thing more he still wants more power. Like dictator? Like Caliefa? Whatever you say about this guy, he shots for the moon. For himself of course. He dosen’t give a rip for the USA, Blacks, whites, Israelites, British, French, Russians, or the Arab nations, mohommedist nations, maybe one exception King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia who Knighted him with the honor of Warrior of Islam, while the whole world watched.
‘Erdogan is a con-man in this regard; Obama is his sucker we are their victims’
Actually Obama and Erdoğan are soul mates when it comes to democracy. Both of them despise it and they are self righteous egotistical, tyrants wannabes. The only way to neutralize Erdoğan is to get rid off his twin Hussein Obama.
Everybody knew if they just looked at their TV screen. Obama was in Wright’s church for 20 years applauding Wright’s rants against Jews and Israel. You do not remember “Them Jews?” Do you remember Farrakhan’s Million Men March when every of his rants against Israel and against Jews were cheered by multitudes as far as you could see. You surely remember this one. Right? Well, Obama was one of the organizers of this anti- Semitic event. You still voted for anti- Semite Obama because he is a Black man and because he is a Democrat in the same way US Jews voted for Roosevelt, the US Jews semi-God even though he closed the door to Jews trying to escape the Shoa. Part of my family went up in smoke thanks to Roosevelt. Today Obama calls the Muslim Brothers moderates! Erdogan support Arab terror against Israel: HItzbollah and Hamas. Turkey today does brisk business with Iran too and yet Obama cuddle Erdogan. Of course US Jews will vote again for anti- Semite Obama just like they did for Roosevelt. Ask me if I will again step into a Jewish country club called Jewish Center? Yuck!
I know how you feel, but, please don’t walk out on them in this critical time.
US Jews are suffering from a serious case of self-inflicted mass delusion and denial.
Some are slowly beginning to come to their senses now.
“US Jews are suffering from a serious case of self-inflicted mass delusion and denial. Some are slowly beginning to come to their senses now.”
If US Jews were any slower in coming to their senses on who & what Obama really is, they’d be in reverse. Between being “pals” with anti-American/anti-Israeli tyrants & his 67 borders comment, Obama could see his support by Jews fall from 78% all the way down to 77%…BUT I’m not all that hopeful.
The sky is always falling and the coming caliphate from Morocco to Turkey never quite seems to arrive. Muslims are acting like Muslims; when have they not?
The real problem, as so nicely laid out by Shelby Steele elsewhere, is the West’s perception of Islam as colonialist victims and allowing the wholesale immigration of Muslims into the West.
In terms of the regions actual threat, there is more and more oil in the West and less and less in the East. Considering that Turkey is the most powerful Muslim nation in the region and yet never recovered from being the sick old man of Europe, the threat is overstated.
The threat you have not overstated is Obama and his minion’s perception of Islam; this allows weak groups like Hamas and Hizbollah to get away with murder. In the past, we would just have stepped on them.
we would just have stepped on them.”
Let us hope that, in the very near future, we will do just that.
Many commentators on these pages seem to ignore Obama’s witt in handling the muslims in the Middle East. There is a saying in Turkish: “If you know you will get a goose you can let go of the hen” What this means in Obama’s case is this. By neglecting Israel temporarily and making closer than ever friends with Turkey and tolerating radical Islam (this is the hen)in countries surrounding the Middle East Oil (he has Saudi arabia on his side allready) Obama is trying to setup an islamist belt in the Mediterranean and North Africa subservient (this the goose) to the US. Subservience is the catch! In the end this will be beneficial to Israel also. As to the antisemitism of these backward Arab countries this can be dealt with subsequently. In a way Obama is, for now, selling his soul in return for oil. This should not be alien to Western capitalism. In short, while some people just see the trees Obama sees the forest! Once the Middle East is conquered Erdogan will become “the Turkish prime minister what’s his name?”
Of course Erdogan is the Mideast leader most admired by Obama… After all aren’t they both working for the same agenda in Middle East?
- They are both servants of the same Pan-Islamist Muslim B’hood strategy which — under the guise of Democracy, Reform, Freedom, etc — aims to topple all national/secular regimes in Muslim-majority countries of the Middle East and replace them with Muslim B’hood rule, eventually uniting the whole region under a supposedly US-friendly New Caliphate…
- They both want to create a strong Pan-Islamist Sunni bloc to counter the Shiite threat of the Iran-Syria axis in the region…
- They are both staunchly anti-Israel and are set to promote the Pan-Islamist agenda against the Jewish nation-state which sits smack in the middle of the regional Caliphate they aspire to create in the area…
Let no one argue that Erdogan’s anti-Israel Jihad, declared with his Davos outburst and still in force today, was not fully coordinated with Obama from the outset!!!
What about Erdogan blowing winds of war against the Republic of Cyprus?
It seems that Obama and the EU are prepared to acquiesce to Turkey occupation of the entire Cyprus in order to appropriate the gas fields located south of the island.
Obama loves the counsel of anti-semites like himself.
Actually, given Obama’s actions and historical political associations–his first communication director’s hero is Chairman Mao, I suspect he expects a sort of replay of the thirties middle east and spring time in Hitler’s Germany, only this time the Jews will be allowed immigration privileges to America to escape the Muslim initiated holocaust, sorry, Arab Spring–we must be tolerant and the tide of war is receding. After all, FDR wasn’t perfect on Jewish question, and I think Obama thinks he can improve the progressive record on comprehensive immmigration reform by managing change for the simple people, the silly people, still clinging to their superstitions, guns, and bigoted beliefs. Besides, he needs defense cut backs to pay for midnight basket ball and nation building in Chicago.
So not getting along well with a paticular person who happens to be Jewish makes Obama an anti-semite? Is that really what you are saying? What makes him an anti-semite? No jewish leaders think he is an anti-semite. They only ones showing their Anti-American leanings is this sad excuse of an author!
Amazing how much vitriolic hatred for a man who is hated for who he is, a man of mixed race, not for what he does. Hatred that comes from prejudice and stupidity with an absence of decency. Shades of Joseph McCarthy.
LOL. Nice straw man argument.
did you read the article? it lists at least 5-10 things Obama has done that show he doesn’t care for Israel or Jews. we could also add:
the way he treated Netanyahu when he was in DC last year, Obama suggesting that Israelis don’t like him “because of my middle name” (Jews are bad AND stupid!), the famous Rashid Khalidi dinner video that we’re not allowed to see because whatever Obama said about Israel and the Pals is too inflammatory, the fact that Obama has still never visited Israel, the fact that Obama out-Palestinianed the Palestinians and asked for settlement freezes the PA never insisted on, thereby moving the peace process backward, the exceedingly weak UN veto where Susan Rice basically apologized to the Pal for having to side with evil Israel, the hissy fit Obama threw when Israel decided–shockingly–to build apartments in its own eternal capital of Jerusalem, the fact that the word “Israel” is being scrubbed on WH and State Dept websites, the fact that the administration won’t let dual US citizens born in Jerusalem put “Jerusalem Israel” on their passports , and the fact that Abbas was the first world leader Obama called when he was inaugurated.
how’s that for a start?
oh and btw, the statement
“No jewish leaders think he is an anti-semite”
is not true. they’re just all a lot smarter than you and they don’t admit it in public.
If you had been in a coma for the last three years and woke up and read this article you would think it was written by a hyper, over-the-top, partisan who was smearing no less a personage than a president of the United States, all of whom, as we know, have been generally level-headed. Unfortunately for us all Obama is not in this category. Although I long ago lost any sympathy for the dems’ crazed trajectory toward political oblivion I really have to wonder why they are not up in arms over what this utter hack of a president is going to do to them next year.
I too, have a deep and abiding sense that the Dems are on a “crazed trajectory toward political oblivian”. There does seem to exist a delusional denial by Dems, American Jews and Obamabots in general as to the cataclysmic magnatude of his political(and personal)deficiencies! The very likely repudiation of all things Obama in the 2012 election cycle is cause for hope.
Echoes of Obama’s crony Jeremiah Wright?
I reckon Erdogan can definitely be a “con-man” but Islam is the real con from which all others emanate. Erdogan is a deceptive slimeball with evil expansionist
intentions.
The mask is off as far as Obama goes:
He’s Communist to the core
He’s clueless …
He does not have a martial mentality but rather; throws tantrums like a spoiled brat
He does not like America or its values
He is unwavering in his quest to foist Communism (in all its morphed forms) upon us.
He campaigns for Islam because he probably believes he’ll get support in his re-election (which is now only an exercise which a delusional would continue).
So why don’t we call him on it??? C’mon!!!
–Far from being a moderate or even a moderate leftist, Obama has been carrying out the fundamental transformation of America into an leftist dictatorship.
–Under the guidance of Obama’s regime, much of the American mass media and Soros controlled alternative media has been generating anti-Americanism. Polls show a huge rise in anti-American public opinion which Obama has augmented, not combatted.
–Incidentally, Obama uses the warm report he receives from the global leftist media outlets at home for political purposes. If the European lefist press like us, the government tells voters, we couldn’t possibly be fringe radicals. Far from isolating America, our policies abroad (alliance with Iran, Syria–up until recently–Hamas and Hizballah) shows our government’s success in overthrowing free market democracy and selling our allies down the river. Everyone in the world knows that the U.S. government is helping the leftist movement worldwide in electoral terms, is helping every anti-Old/New Testament thug in the Middle East and every socialist/communist regime they can.
–Among Obama’s past statements was his famous remark that America needs to apologize for its past, that it has no more exceptionalism than Greece and that it’s people are lazy, mean, bitter clingers. Capitalism is like a bus and you just must decide where to get thrown under it. The Obama model is inspiring anarchists and small c communists everywhere, not toward moderation but merely toward patience in implementing their programs. They participate in elections not because they believe in democracy but because they know they will win the elections and then can consolidate power and irreversibly transform their societies along the lines they wish.
He has certainly not arrived at that final destination yet but he is well on the way. The independent power of every American institution has been broken. America has more journalists in the tank for leftism than any other country in the world. The list of oppression, repression, and leftist radicalization goes on and on.
There …fixed it for you.
The ‘Man with no documented history’ Obambi elected by a people with no brains, the US electorate, sets himself up to be the arbiter of the Mohammedan Jewish problem and aligns himself with an admitted rabid antisemite Erdogan to do so. Notwithstanding that this same man with no documented history was himself born to a Muslim father adopted by a Muslim stepfather and brought up and schooled as a devout Mosque going Muslim during his formative years. Even today ALL members of his fathers and his stepfathers families are Muslims.
But he’s not oh! no how do we know well this man who hides all his documentation tells us so. LOL
Turkey is a member of NATO.
That means that they’re automatically an ally of the U.S.
And that the U.S. is obligated to come to their aid if they’re ever threatened.
Making nice with Turkey is better than having Turkey go into the Islamist camp altogether. Having a fanatically anti-Western nation in NATO would be a disaster.
Obama has alienated enough of our allies already. Why alienate one more.
It should be noted that Turkey has courted admission into the E.U. for a decade and more. With that now impossible, they have stopped being “good” and are turning to the East culturally while still doing brisk trade with Europe.
Turkey is a member of NATO and all that claptrap but it didn’t stop them preventing the US from entering Northern Iraq in 2003; but the US has to kowtow to their demands?
I loathe BB because he has brought Israel to the absolute BOTTOM of every item of the OEAU!!! ( we do have the best army – but this unfortunately isn’t a factor on the OAEU ) Medicine, education, the rift between rich and poor, housing, contract workers (ie slaves) is, in fact everything that makes life worth living. (I have very little hope for my kids.)
Of course this makes no difference for you religious, nationalistic, myopic , so called Zionists from abroad
Sure you shouldn’t sign Luni Zan?
How wonderful for both presidents. The good news is that turkey is doomed. The fertility rate of the Kurds is at least twice as high as that of turks. In a half century or less there will be more Kurds than turks in turkey. Of course, by then there will probably be more turks in Germany than Germans. Non-persians already outnumber persians in iran, another plus for the United States and Israel. We need to encourage the disintegration of iran and turkey by supporting separatist movements. Both are countries that shouldn’t exist in the first place. They are failed as well as fake states.
Turkey is indeed a counter-force to Russia in the Central Asian Republics
region, but it’s a very dangerous unstable one to cozy up with. I’m going to
guess that Obama’s french kissing Erdogan is for Putin’s benefit. I don’t
think Obama and Hillary are up to playing this one right, though.
Turkey does what is best for itself and is only a counter-force when it suits them.
Just look back and see how they dropped their NATO pal, the US, in 2003 when it suited them.
“The U.S. government announced an international counterterrorist organization with Turkey as the sole co-chair.”
Our Muslim president and his rabidly pro-Islam administration reveal themselves to be big admirers of Erdogan:
Erdogan publicly read an Islamic poem: “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and Muslims our soldiers…”
“Turkish expert: The two leaders speak often… and frequently agree on policy.”
Erdogan is a devout Muslim who follows the Koran. The Koran commands Muslims to conquer and enslave all nations under excessively cruel Islamic sharia law. It is not only our allies that are targeted, America, possibly even more than Israel, is targeted for Islamic conquest and destruction.
America has never been in such grave danger of losing her freedom. America urgently needs a patriotic president and administration who are loyal to, and LOVE America. The hour is late.
“The president of the United States adores a radical, anti-American Islamist who supports radical terrorist groups, seeks to overthrow U.S. allies and replace them with other radical Islamist governments, and wants (no, he doesn’t say it publicly, but what do you think?) Israel wiped off the map.”
And we’re to believe that this is the result of Obama’s naivete or ignorance? Or is it more likely that Obama is exhibiting his Muslim roots and is perhaps a willing if stealthy participant in what the Islamic scholar, Robert Spencer calls “the stealth jihad.” If this man is not exposed for what he is, continues to be supported and idolized by an adoring press and is accordingly reelected in 2012 then the proverbial “end is near;” for real.
Obama works to undermine US interests. Boorrriiinnnggg, did he ever do anything else? Is anything else on, this administration only does reruns.
In a way it’s good, imagine the effect on the world if he did something wise? Millions would go into shock, heart attacks, dogs and cats sleeping together, mass hysteria, wrath of g-d stuff. Better that Obama continue to work against US interests, he’s good at it, we know where he stands and what to expect. We can plan accordingly and prepare.
Nations don’t have brother/sister relationships. Every politician has to be a “con-man” for their nations interests. Israel is just so used to this unconditional US backing and can’t accept that this has changed.
Obama, the Oracular Orator
Lest our president feel neglected after the attention paid to his second-in-command in “Biden, the Bumbling Booby,” with all due deference to the Obamassiah, the Big O, the Anointed One, I hereby devote a separate but equal article to Our Leader.
I cited a few of Barack Hussein Obama’s old, new, and always classic instances of dumb and thoughtless gaffes in ”Biden” and some others are so old that his mainstream media have sometimes acknowledged them, if grudgingly.
In that latter category: his geographical confusions, dissing Cambridge police, ridiculing Special Olympics kids, addressing dead soldiers he saw in a Memorial Day audience, inventing an Austrian language, misstating a Kansas tornado death toll of 12 as 10,000, saying the Mideast has plaqued the Mideast for centuries, etc. etc. etc.
Those and his legion of additional screw-ups surpass Biden’s and even Bush-isms but are irrelevant as compared to the central issue surrounding Barack Obama: Is he really anywhere nearly as smart as his MSM have been painting him for years now?
He apparently did graduate from Columbia University and Harvard Law School, though he has adamantly refused to release his transcripts from those prestigious institutions and his years at Columbia are still cloaked in mystery.
He did allegedly teach constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School, though the contents of his lectures are still unknown and he has often disregarded the Constitution.
He did work as a community organizer in Chicago, though who and what he organized and for what purposes are still unclear, and suspect, as are his associations during that period.
The only thing Obama voters truly knew about him when they bought into his undefined hopey-changey mantra in 2008 was that Barack Obama was a brilliant and spectacular orator.
Over the past three years, more objective observers have noticed his orations have been far less than brilliant and his oratorical skills are very questionable. . .

I dont know why this closeness should surprise anyone. both men are muslims. both conquered their constituencies with charm and false promises of a better future. Both love Dhimmi Jews, court Jews, who bellie their basic antisemitism. Both hate Bibi with a deadly vengeance because he is no court Jew, or coward Jew, and is the Jewish Leader of the Christian congress. Bary Rubins idea of American Interests is diametrically opposite to that of BHO, however BHO was once elected and is likely to be re-elected, as was Erdogan. So exepct this friendship to blossom, and expect it to make Israel’s life very very hard
Hello, Neat post. There’s an issue together with your website in web explorer, might check this? IE still is the market leader and a huge component to people will pass over your excellent writing due to this problem.
