Oh, he sure does hate Israel, LOL!

I am playing hooky today. Twice a year I manage to throw my back out. Usually two chiropractic visits I am good. Not this time. Three sessions plus ice, electric stimulation, and decompression haven't fixed it. Well, got some x-rays and measurements done, and it seems my left leg is just a touch shorter. Enough shorter that it throws my hip 7mm off in height. So, bad news is I hurt a bit, but good news is I know why this happens. A simple orthotic will fix it. Ehh, this growing older thing ain't for the weak

Hip or pelvis is slightly tilted making one leg a little shorter...which I never even noticed.
Been going to the Chiropractor for weekly visits for 3+ months. Will it ever end?

You say a simple orthotic would fix it...what's that?

I wonder often if I'm being scammed. Never heard of so many visits to fix a problem.
I never felt any problem with my hips...now sometimes they hurt. I wonder what good she's doing...or maybe even harm?

I don't wear shoes in the house, so I have taken a heel cup I picked up at the drug store and ace bandaged it over my sock. Just walking around the house seems better- my pain is slowly going away. Like I said, this happens every six months. The last time and this time my chiropractor shot x-rays. In both cases, my hip had shifted 7mm in the vertical. Hopefully the insole thing will work.

The Chef Rabbi, President Peres, the PM, the last I don't recognize.

He is the director of the Yad Vashem memorial.

That might prevent him from becoming a full-on honorary Jew.

This sounds like a job for Donald Trump!

'Show us the penis, Mr. President.'

Somehow, I doubt Trump would want to see our President's penis.

oops, I'm sorry...that's Trump's underwear...

for being thoughtful enough to accept $115 billion in aid.

nuttiyahoo looks like he'd like to cut President O's nutts out

To me it looks like he's thinking, "All these years I hated you, but...damn...that smile...you're hard to resist."

We should compare results of Rorschach tests.

to me, it looks like his eyes are smiling, if you know what I mean.

just as Rachel showed on her show. Only MSNBC showed it and CNN. FOX was showing something all together different...even though they showed some of the video, BUT they were doing all the talking. Check out the video...

I was watching CNN with my mom and they were covering the trip, and we decided to go to FOX just for laughs, and all they talking about was gun laws.

President Obama has done nothing but impress me with this trip to the Middle East. In his short time, he appears to have really revitalized the left wing in Israel and made peace appear possible.

That he got Bibi to apologize to Turkey is amazing.

are all harummphing and sour grapes about it.

Ah, sweet wingnut tears. More schadenfreude, bitte.

I don't see it as very amazing. To me its only reasonable that Israel would be motivated to patch up relations and ensure Turkey is onside for when the USA or USA/Israel launch an attack on Syria and/or Iran. Notice that Israel has still not deemed it necessary to apologize to the US for killing a US citizen in their heavy handed attack on the Gaza flotilla. It knows the USA is already onside.

An American-Turkish dual citizen killed during an Israeli commando raid on a humanitarian aid flotilla was among activists buried in Turkey on Thursday.

Furkan Dogan was struck by five bullets shortly before dawn on Monday while atop the Turkish-flagged Mavi Marmara ship, according to friends who were on board at the time of the Israeli raid and attended the funeral for eight of the nine Turks who died.

The website of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan – who called the Israeli raid a "bloody massacre" and threatened to sever ties with Israel – listed Mr. Dogan's nationality as American. A State Department spokesman confirmed a dual US-Turkish citizen was killed and said the embassy in Turkey had offered consular services to the family.

“Furkan was my friend,” said Ali Yunusoalu, who went with Dogan for pre-dawn prayers on the top deck of the Mavi Marmar on Monday. Israeli naval boats soon approached the ship, he said, and then commandos dropped from helicopters.

“The soldiers started shooting and bombing” with bullets and percussion grenades, said Mr. Yunusoalu. “It was a big sound – you can’t hear a thing because of the noise.”

First, I'd say that it's very clear the only reason Bibi apologized is because of the President pushing him to do so. I don't think this apology, which is leading to a normalization of relations between the two countries, happens without President Obama.

Second, I think this notion that the US or US/Israel is about to launch or is trying to create provocation to launch a war against Syria/Iran is completely overblown. I think Bibi is realizing the changing winds within his country that show the people want peaceful relations, not continued belligerence. I believe the President's visit did a lot to help Israel's left-wing gain its voice back.

And not just to satisfy Israeli desire to have what is seen as a major threat to their security removed

Considering how long Netanyahu refused to apologize, it is really something that Obama was able to step in and make it happen so quickly.

As far as I'm concerned he's another Bush or Romney. I wish our Prez didn't have to do all that glad handing with neo-con, which is all he is.

On his shoulder...and neocons have taken advantage of it.

Thanks Matt!

Unlike Commander Chickenhawk Jr.

Oh, yes. I went there.

I just wish he was more progressive. (and no, I don't think hes playing 5 dimensional chess).

(this is joke based on the subject line in the OP)

amazing encounters from his trip to the Middle East.. thanks for the pics, PennMatt!

official Facebook page and read the comments with the photos posted there of Obama's visit. It only takes reading a handful of comments to piss me off. The President is never going to get a compliment or support from these (religious right) people no matter what.

and has an ad saying how Obama is helping Israel's enemies. totally ignored the whole thing. Now of course if that ever gets back to Israel not sure if they'd ever work with the Republicans again..

When I saw that on Rachel Maddow's show, I can't say I was completely surprised, but I was just aghast because that shows the gravity of what a fraud they are perpetrating on a daily basis!

for "military relief."

and still won't apologize for doing all it could to make sure Jewish refugees couldn't get in to the U.S. in the late 1930's and for all the support it gave to Hitler on "anticommunist" grounds.

Supporting the oppression of Palestinians does NOT make up for giving aid and comfort to the Holocaust.

I wonder if this made it on FOX.

and supports a disgusting Apartheid regime.
