REMARKABLE – QUOTE OF THE DAY – AT 8:59 A.M. ET:  When a Saudi columnist applauds the prime minister of Israel, we know that something is changing in the Mideast.  There is this extraordinary quote from Ahmad Al-Faraj, in the Saudi daily Al-Jazirah:

Since Obama is the godfather of the prefabricated revolutions in the Arab world, and since he is the ally of political Islam, [which is] the caring mother of [all] the terrorist organizations, and since he is working to sign an agreement with Iran that will come at the expense of the U.S.'s longtime allies in the Gulf, I am very glad of Netanyahu's firm stance and [his decision] to speak against the nuclear agreement at the American Congress despite the Obama administration's anger and fury. I believe that Netanyahu's conduct will serve our interests, the people of the Gulf, much more than the foolish behavior of one of the worst American presidents. Do you agree with me?

COMMENT:  Yup, we agree with you.  And we believe that many Arab leaders are cheering Netanyahu this morning.  On Iran, he speaks for them. 

We may be seeing the start of some new alliances in the Mideast.  They may just be alliances of convenience, but they can move the region in the right direction.

Obama would probably oppose that, too.  We learned just days ago that he has been withholding critical intelligence information from Arab and European nations, as these nations confront the Russians in Ukraine and ISIS all over the Mideast. 

What Rudy Giuliani said about Obama several weeks ago is what millions of Americans are thinking – that he's a man of strange loyalties.  Millions more are probably thinking it today.
