Bipartisan Blame for Border Crisis
How are the American people reacting to the crisis at our borders? A
vast majority are upset with President Obama's handling of the
situation,
but even more are upset with Congressional Republicans. Is it fair that
Republicans are being blamed?
A brand new Washington Post-ABC News poll
finds that 58% of
Americans disapprove of Obama's handling of the crisis at our border and
this includes 54% of American Latinos. It gets even worse for
Congressional Republicans with 66% of Americans disapproving of what
they've done to address the crisis. However, it's very possible that
conservatives could be the ones upset with Republicans for their failure
to secure the border first. What is clear is that the American people
aren't happy with how Washington is handling this crisis.
In my mind, the fault lies particularly with Barack Obama, whose
policies have fueled the current influx. Not only that, but he then
chooses
not to lead on the issue by refusing to visit the border and see the
crisis for himself. And considering his propensity to use executive
orders to achieve his goals, he certainly isn't running to the podium to
announce any executive orders to stem the tide of this current

Israel Responds to Hamas Attacks
The situation in Israel continues to escalate.
About a week ago, rockets began flying between Israel and Hamas, with Gaza firing over 1,000 rockets at Israeli cities.
But for Israel's Iron Dome, who knows how much carnage we would be witnessing.
Within the last day, Hamas rejected an Egyptian plan calling for a ceasefire and therefore the bombings are continuing.
Now there are reports that Hamas is using rockets supplied by Iran to
attack Israel.
Last week, White House Middle East Special Assistant Philip Gordon had
the audacity to blame Israel for the current violence, stating that
Israel's ongoing "occupation" of the West Bank is wrong and leads to
regional instability.
This administration says that Israel is our "closest friend," yet comes
out with comments such as that? I simply don't understand this
administration. |
