OBAMA AT HIS WORST – AT 8:05 P.M. ET:  The president's vulgar, pathetic remarks about the Israel raid, made on the tired old Larry King program last night, represent our leadership at its worst.

That the president is hostile to Israel, and indeed toward other American allies, can no longer be doubted by serious observers.  He's proved that hostility since his first day in office, taking periodic time out for love fests for Israel, the better to keep Israel's supporters in line.

Some pundits are openly speculating that Obama's hostility toward Israel led directly to this week's clash between the Israeli Defense Forces and that "peace" ship.  In effect, Obama has given what the late film star Joan Crawford used to call "the big okay" for the rest of the world to bash Israel.  If America won't stand up for its ally, why should they, when there is money to be made in the Muslim world, and a domestic left-wing "intelligentsia" to satisfy?

Obama had an opportunity, on the King show, to come down hard on the Islamic extremists and Western Communists who are behind the international anti-Israel campaign to, finally, exterminate Israel.  Instead, he pretty much blamed Israel for the whole affair, all the while saying the necessary things about Israel's right to defend itself.

In the meantime, Mr. Obama has, for the second time, canceled a trip to Indonesia and Australia, because of the oil leak in the Gulf.  Maybe we'd be better off if he were out of town.  I don't really care about the canceled tourist visit to Indonesia, his boyhood home.  They'll love him anyway.  But Australia is one of our closest friends, one of the few nations always there for the United States.  Like our other allies, they've been treated like a doormat by Barack Hussein Obama Jr.  Now he's wiping his shoes on them again. 

Obama is an embarrassment.  He is also the most dangerous man ever to be president.
