Obama Praises His Own Admin for Saving ‘Countless Lives’ & Pledges to ‘Always Be There for Israel’

Apr. 23, 2012 12:00pm Billy Hallowell

President Obama made sure to praise his own administration during a somber speech at the U.S. Holocaust Museum on Monday — a speech that also included references to genocide, Syria, and his claims to “always be there for Israel.” The leader of the free world said that it’s essential for the international community not allow the “seeds of hate” to take root again.

In addition to praising his administration for saving lives, he reiterated his support for Israel and announced new orders that will govern the treatment of regimes who violate their peoples’ rights.

As the Associated Press reports, the event was used as an opportunity for the president to outline a his plans to impose sanctions against foreign entities who use technology to crack down on citizens. The main targets of the executive order governing these new regulatory structures are Iran and Syria — two contemporary human rights violators.

National sovereignty, Obama said, is not a license to “slaughter your people.” The president made it clear that the United States, teamed with international partners, would not tolerate such behavior. You can read more about these sanctions and regulations here.

While the speech was widely focused upon grand human rights issues, Obama did take the time to praise his administration’s handling of global events over the past three years. In particular, he staked the claim that his administration has “saved countless lives.” In addition to addressing the Holocaust, he also spoke of the modern-day mass murders that have taken place in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.

And despite consistent claims that the president is weak when it comes to supporting the Israeli homeland, he made his devotion — at least rhetorically speaking — more than clear. While he has disagreed with Israel’s leaders about how to handle Iran, he said that he will always stand with Israel.

Obama, while referencing a tour he once took of the Warsaw Ghetto, recalled what a woman there told him about Israel. She said, “it’s the only Jewish state we have.”

“And I made her a promise in that solemn place,” he said. “I said, ‘I will always be there for Israel.’”

  Even when speaking to the memory of 6 million murdered Jews, Obama cannot help but toot his own horn. What a lying, satanically inspired tool of satan he is. Is he a Christian? Barry paraphrased:
  IF Jesus were here, He would be in favor of social justice, wealth redist. IF He were here? What a bloody fool! Jesus exists, and is HERE, IN EVERY TRUE BELIEVER! Obama obviously is not aware of this. He should keep a Bible in his WH instead of a koran,and MAYBE read it!

  You’re part right. It was a typo but what he actually said was he “Saved or Created Countless Lives”.

  First off, I cannot believe that whoever is in charge of that Holocaust museum disrespected the memory of the dead, the survivors and the Jewish people overall by letting Obama anywhere near the place. Next time are they going to let the muslim brotherhood come and speak there? There wouldn’t be much difference between the two. They are all muslim, they are all radical and they are all working to destroy our nation and to eliminate the Jewish people from the face of the earth.
  
  Obama “Pledges to ‘Always Be There for Israel’” – That is as clear a threat to Israel as any threat could ever be.

  Obama is A WICKED, WICKED, WICKED man. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, just like Hitler was in the beginning. If this demon is re-elected, then there will be a revolt by WE, THE PEOPLE of America.
  Please pray that God removes the scales from Americans’ eyes – the scales are what pro-Obama people have. They cannot see the evil in front of them. ONLY God can reveal that. SO, PRAY PEOPLE PRAY.

Anti-Semetic with his relationship with Egypt, Tunisia, and the Arab League. Secretary Clinton’s “Freinds of Syria” are also all enemies of Israel.
Anti-Christian, with his announced “new orders that will govern the treatment of regimes who violate peoples’ rights on the same day Sudan’s al-Bashir sends planes to bomb the capital of South Sudan over oil, and to spread his Darfur decade of genocide onto South Sudan.

How is going back to the 1967 borders, an indefensible position, “always being there for Israel”?

  He means always being there to tell Israel what to do. I actually support ending subsidies to Israel because the government tends to use it the same way they use welfare programs: to generate dependency. Private donations from anonymous sources would prove more beneficial.

Since the Worst-President-Ever Øbama Administration has milked dry its claim that it created or saved a zillion jobs, it ratchets up & now claims to have saved “countless lives.”

Sounds reasonable.

Wait a minute. Did he mean ‘saved countless lives? Or created? And what lives? Whose? Where?

And I believe what he really meant was he’d be there when they COME FOR Israel.

  Well, that goes without saying, esp. when placed in light of Eric Holder praising Farrakhan, who would be the single most anti-Semitic hatemonger in history, save for Hitler. So much for Obama admin.’s love for the children of Abraham, huh?

Only doing what he always does….spews necessary lies for his dummie base – much like his friends that he admires – the Muslims. They say whatever sounds good to us in English, expected by the majority and then to his fellow Muslims says the truth in Arabic, which is to destroy us. Same same. The end justifies the means — very, very, very old — but it works well. He really hates Israel and doing everytrhing he can, along with his fellow haters to destroy them – but the good news is many Jews have figured that out.

Another lie, what lives have you saved? You are no friend of Israel? You just another Jew hater. You and other blacks forget that when no one else would do so, Jewish lawyers stepped forward and represented blacks charged with crimes. Again, when no one else would do so, Jews opened businesses in black areas. Jews also march with and supported blacks in achieving civil rights. How do blacks repay Jews? By burning their business, spewing anti Jew demogrotery, beating and even killing them. Someone sitting in a church where the minister preached hate for the U.S., whites and Jews for 20 years deserves no respect.

Why will people not open their eyes Lord?

Yeah, they saved “countless lives”. Another number that can’t be substantiated. Completely made up and not proveable. That is how he governs. I it was good and can be proven to be good then he did it. If it was good but can’t be proven to be good then hype it up and he did it. If it was bad in anyway then its someone elses fault.
