President Obama has ushered in a new form of diplomacy, just in time for Passover.
The Jewish holiday of Passover has arrived and Jews around the world celebrate their deliverance from bondage and subsequent exodus from Egypt. How did this miracle come about? God sent Moses with an ultimatum to Pharaoh: Stop your tyranny or suffer the consequences (plagues). The first nine plagues fell a bit short. By the tenth plague, however, the tyrannical and arrogant Pharaoh had had enough.
Recently, North Korea threatened to launch a satellite missile over Japan and into space. Due to the provocative nature of such a launch, President Obama was quick to criticize North Korea. After the launch, a launch that saw the North Korean missile pass over Japanese airspace, the President was clearly not happy. He spoke of sanctions, a strong international response, a harsh rebuke and the need for non-proliferation in the world. It was Passover Diplomacy; talk tough and when the bullies of the world fire their missiles, hope they pass over.
Like North Korea, Iran teeters on advanced missile and nuclear technology. Unlike Japan, Israel has some options. Iran has called for Israel's destruction. What should Israel do? Should Israel act like Moses and use her might now? Or, should Israel put her faith in President Obama's Passover Diplomacy, and hope that the first "satellite" missile Iran sends in Israel's direction passes over?
Some of my Dem Jewish friends are impressed and overjoyed by this historic first-time White House seder. Don't remember them expressing similar glee, if any, when Obama's predecessor welcomed to the White House members of the local Jewish community to light a Chanukah menorah. Funny how that works …
Unlike Bush before him, President Obama doesn't know the first thing about freedom. And just because he is black–and especially because his black roots are not even American–he has no automatic right to claim to understand slavery. Obama's actions as president, such as the ones itemized by Mr. Witkov, and his voting record as senator clearly reveal that Mr. Obama is *against* the side freedom. Against freedom in Iraq, against freedom from Islamic terrorism in Israel and evidently in the U.S. as well, against economic freedom in our own country. Against political freedom in Cuba, Iran, and N. Korea, the "Pharaohs" of which he'd rather appease than confront.
In short, President Obama is the *last* person to host a Passover seder, let alone attend one.

Harold, you seem to be more of an advocate for Andy Capp diplomacy. It was Andy Capp who explained to the bobbie who was writing him a citation for knocking out some bloke who was lying on the ground at their feet; "I thought he was going to hit me, so I hit him back first."
Or maybe you'd prefer no diplomacy at all?
