What is it I'm supposed to say?
That the people have spoken? Technically, of course it is true
-- for indeed Obama will be president for another four years and this must be
respected. But I cannot accept that in this electoral vote there rested
wisdom or understanding.
Rather, I feel that the people
didn't have complete information. They didn't get it. The liberal leaning
media saw to that. Dear Heaven, the fiasco at Benghazi should have been
sufficient in and of itself to deny him the election. If only Benghazi had
been covered fully by the mainstream media.
How can I know what I know --
about Benghazi and Obama's support for Islamists and the resilience of al-Qaeda,
which Obama claims to have seriously weakened, and more and more -- and then say
that the people have spoken, as acknowledgement that the electorate
had superior wisdom?
Obama has made the world a more
dangerous place than it was when he took office four years ago. What will
be four years from now?
The Almighty must give us strength
for all that lies ahead.

Head of World Likud MK Danny Danon
issued a statement after the election results were known:
“The state of Israel will not
capitulate before Obama. [His electoral victory] brings home the fact that the state of Israel must take
care of its own interests. We cannot rely on anyone but
ourselves.”
That, exactly so, is how it
is.

Prime Minister Netanyahu had no
choice, of course, but to congratulate Obama (which he has already done) and to
speak about working with the US to safeguard Israel's security.
Should you feel inclined to let
him know you're behind him as he stands strong for Israeli rights and security,
that would be lovely. Our rights also matter.

Obama's acceptance speech lacked
the graciousness that one might expect of a winner. Bewilderingly, he
sounded as if he were still campaigning. Maybe he DID lift this from a
campaign speech. Listen:
~~~~~~~~~~
Now that the election is over, I
will turn back to a more focused look at events in this part of the world.
I want to close here today. There should be a great deal to share in
tomorrow's posting.
