Fox News strategic analyst Ralph Peters said on the channel’s “Hannity” show Tuesday night that President Obama “would not shed a tear” if Israel “disappeared from the face of the Earth tomorrow.”
“I am convinced, Sean, absolutely convinced, that Obama, Kerry, and company have accepted that Iran will get a bomb,” Peters said during a conversation with host Sean Hannity about Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. “They just don’t want it to happen on Obama’s watch. They want it a decent interval of denial.”
Obama “is willing to give Israel up,” Peters said later in the segment. “Let’s face it: If Israel disappeared from the face of the Earth tomorrow, Obama would not shed a tear.”

By the way, I am convinced, absolutely convinced, that Ralph Peters is a GFCM.
I love how everyone knows exactly what The Black President is thinking, and is perfectly willing to put thoughts in his head for him. A bit disrespectful I would say.
Right in line with their new tagline:
“Faux: We Are Complete Idiots”
Let’s make a few minor changes to Peters’ quote to make the statement more truthful:
Republicans are willing to give up the President of the United States. Let’s face it: If President Obama disappeared from the face of the Earth tomorrow, Republicans would not shed a tear.
Personally, I find the Republican’s behavior toward the President far more offensive than President Obama’s supposed (although untrue) ambivalence towards the foreign nation of Israel.
How strange that even in his disgraceful speech yesterday, Netanyahu spent the first minutes thanking President Obama for the times he came to Israel’s aid, times, he noted, that we don’t even know about. But this chucklehead knows better, I guess.
