Barack Obama did a fine job of appeasing and apologizing at the United Nations. While his speech was filled with empty phrases like, "the people of the world want change," the part that got him the most applause was when he mentioned Israel. Need I remind you that applause from a group of dictators and despots is not exactly a good thing. Also .. do I need to remind you that the UN is and has been very much anti-Israel. The applause was no surprise.

As former UN Ambassador John Bolton said, Obama essentially put Israel on the chopping block. Obama said, "We continue to call on Palestinians to end incitement against Israel, and we continue to emphasize that America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements ... The United States does Israel no favors when we fail to couple an unwavering commitment to its security with an insistence that Israel respect the legitimate claims and rights of the Palestinians. And nations within this body do the Palestinians no favors when they choose vitriolic attacks over a constructive willingness to recognize Israel's legitimacy, and its right to exist in peace and security."

One of Obama's audience members was none other than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. This is a man who denies the existence of the Holocaust and says that he wants to "wipe Israel off the map." I wonder if this statement by Barack Obama sent tingles up his leg? Can't you just see him sitting there grinning ear-to-ear as Obama carries his water to the UN delegates?

Now ... having brought up Obama's decidedly unfriendly stance toward Israel, there were some good parts of the speech. I particularly liked this:

"Those who used to chastise America for acting alone in the world cannot now stand by and wait for America to solve the world's problems alone. Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges. Nothing is easier than blaming others for our troubles and absolving ourselves of responsibility for our choices and our actions,"

Well .. good for him on this one.

Still ... the three marquis speeches at the UN yesterday were Ahmadinejad, Qaddafi, and our president. Nice imaging.

Former cutest little communist in Congress, Cynthia McKinney, apparently crossed into Gaza yesterday. Looks like she'll have company on a future trip: Hugo Chavez!

As if the United Nations itself isn't bad enough, when the United Nations decides to host a conference on racism .. you know that you are in for some brilliant international diplomacy. Congratulations in order for Barack Obama for his decision not to attend this year's conference on racism. The UN has hosted these forums before, and they've turned out to be nothing less than an occasion for various half-baked dictators and demagogues to rant against Israel and the United States. When you invite Iran's Ahmadininutjob to the party, you know that you are in for some trouble.

Ahmadinejad did not fail to disappoint. He took this racism conference as an opportunity to lash out against Israel and the United States. He said that the Holocaust was a "pretext" for aggression, Israel is a "racist" nation and the Western world is responsible for the current financial crisis. He added that "world Zionism personifies racism."

Folks, what else did you expect? This is nothing new. We know that this mad Muslim, Ahmadinejad, has about as many loose screws as Kim Jong-Il. And you expect this guy to engage in a lucid and constructive discussion on international race relations? If that doesn't make you lose faith in the United Nations, I just don't know what to tell you.

Some Western nations had the gonads to walk out on Ahmadinejad's speech. Good. If Obama had been there, I would hope to Hillary that he would have done the same.

Now we learn that the Congressional Black Caucus is upset that the United States wasn't at the conference. They sincerely believe that this UN summit is a legitimate avenue for addressing global racism. Just last week the CBC was down there in Cuba vying for the opportunity to plant their collective lips on Fidel's wrinkled old ass. These are your elected politicians, folks. These are people that you are putting into office. Not some Islamic goon. These are your representatives saying that they believe it was wrong for the United States to have boycotted this conference and that this is a legitimate way to address racism.

This is a day-after-Easter edition of Nealz Nuze. In other words .. not much work done yesterday, and I didn't exactly get up early this morning. If you're a paid subscriber I'll listen to your complaints.

Paid subscribers .. now there's an idea. I'm sure this would go over well in this economy.

There's talk about bringing one of these Muslim pirates back to the US for trial! What? And afford him all of the privileges of our Constitutions? How about a summary execution? Live in a US prison would be paradise compared to his life in Somalia.

Is it any wonder Somalia is ungovernable? Any Somali capable of anything resembling leadership is already living in the United States. They were living in the Atlanta area, then a radio station in Atlanta told them that there was a town in New England where they could get monthly checks just for being there. The migration was on!

Do you know why Obama's half-brother didn't make it here to the inauguration? Seems he has a history of being a sex predator in Great Britain. And Jimmy thought Billy was embarrassing.

Last week the reports were that the Muslim pirates were "annoying" Barack Obama. Perhaps its not a good idea to annoy the president.

Israeli President Shimon Peres says that if Ahmadinejad doesn't start to come around Israel is going to attack. I guess Peres wasn't listening last week when Biden warned him not to do that.

DC's Mayor is considering taxing residents for street light usage. Across the nation local officials are looking for more ways to get into your pockets. There's a "crash response fee" in Winter Haven, Florida. Like I've said before, there is absolutely no limit whatsoever to the hunger politicians have for your money.

The unionization-through-intimidation bill is still a hot item in Washington. If the government-educated dumb masses in this country actually knew what was going on here the bill would be dead. Democrats and union goons know this. That's why they gave it this asinine "Employee Free Choice Act" title.

Do you want to join a union at your workplace? If not, you have better begin paying attention to what's happening in Washington. Soon you may be put into a position of either signing that union petition or having your car vandalized ... or worse.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is over there in the Middle East pushing the Palestinian state idea again. This just isn't going to happen folks. The Arab Muslim world does not want one. The so-called "Palestinians" (Arafat was an Egyptian) are cannon fodder for the Arab world's hatred of and fight against Israel. They will never permit a solution that does not cripple Israel.

We hear now that there is a great deal of international effort to stop the violence in Gaza. Why? Why now? Where was all of this grand international pressure when Hamas was tossing rockets at Israeli civilians? Why was all of this international pressure delayed until Israel reacted in pure self defense? If the international community wasn't out there in loud condemnation of this Islamic terrorist group for firing missiles at innocent Israeli civilians. If the international community could not come up with condemnations and pressure then, perhaps it should sit back, shut up, and allow Israel to take care of this situation now.

BTW ... why is it that nobody seems to want the so-called Palestinians? Just wondering.

Back to one of my favorite subjects - the unions. The union representing university workers in Ontario (that would be Canada) has decided that it would be a good idea to ban Israeli professors. Yep. The Canadian Union of Public Employees has decided that it wants to take a stand against the evil Israelis who are attacking innocent Hamas victims. So their solution is to use the power of the union to ban Israeli professors from Ontario universities. The president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees of Ontario says, "In response to an appeal from the Palestinian Federation of Unions of University Professors and Employees, we are ready to say Israeli academics should not be on our campuses unless they explicitly condemn the university bombing and the assault on Gaza in general." The bombing he is referring to is that of Islamic University in Gaza.

The union apparently has nothing to say about Islamic Hamas terrorist goons stashing rockets and other armaments in the buildings on these university grounds.

This isn't the first time this union has tried to pull something like this. There have been previous attempts to boycott and goods and services from Israel. But I believe this is the first time they have tried to ban professors because they are from Israel.

Imagine if it were the other way around .. and someone tried to ban Muslim professors.

Hey ... now there's an idea ...

I just hope I can remember most of them......

• Israel fighting back against Hamas ... and the world's reaction.
• That idiot attorney who used to represent the PLO and her insane observations on the Middle East situation.
• What is in store for our country with leaders elected by the less-educated and poorly informed?
• Al Franken will probably be named the winner of that Senatorial race in Minnesota. How many of you really doubt that there was some funny business in the counting of the ballots. Franken, by the way, is a jerk.
• Obama is dead set against the idea of school choice ... for you. Today his spawn start school at an exclusive private institution in Washington DC. Choice for the Obamas. No choice for you.

Apparently she's trying to break the blockade of Gaza. I figured you guys would want this one over in it's own post and all so you could have some fun with it.

This is really so completely ridiculous. For days the Muslim Hamas goons in Gaza launch rockets at Israeli civilians. The "Arab world" is quiet. Then Israel retaliates and the "Arab World' suddenly goes nutso. How long do we tolerate this asinine double standard?

Where was the Arab world when those rockets were being fired at innocent Israelis? Sitting on their butts and shutting the hell up, that's where .. and the same goes for much of the oh-so-enlightened European Union. Then Israel retaliates and the world is coming to and. Everybody tells Israel to be careful about causing civilian casualties. Do any of you remember "the world" telling Hamas to be careful about where they aim those rockets? Did "the world" warn Israelis about civilian casualties among the so-called "Palestinians?"

Hamas tells Israel that if they don't stop their assault then Hamas is going to resort to suicide bombings. Are you believing this? Hamas feels free to fire rockets indiscriminately into the Israeli civilian population. They're telling Israel that if it tries to stop them from playing with their rockets, they'll move on to suicide bombs. In other words ... the message is that Israel just has to endure the rocket attacks and do nothing in return.

Israel is to be admired here. They have a civilian population to protect, and the hell with world opinion. When "the world" shows as much concern for innocent Israelis dying under Hamas rocket barrages as it does for Palestinians, then maybe Israel will listen.

Israeli troops are reportedly massing at the border. Send 'em in to clean out these Muslim Hamas goons once and for all.

Less than 24 hours after his acceptance speech, Barack Obama is working on creating his White House staff. To be expected. But the rumors and whispers came to fruition ... his first act as president-elect was to ask Democrat Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel to be his chief of staff. And you elected this guy to be the beacon of change? Rahm Emanuel is the epitome of old-school, established Washington partisan politics. He was a top dog washer for Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1998. In 2006, you can thank Rahm Emanuel for the Democrat take-over of the Congress ... he was the Chairman of the Democrat Congressional Campaign committee. This He recognized the fact that they Republicans had blown it. And he capitalized. Big time.

Before we go anywhere, did you know that Emanuel was once the senior advisor and chief fundraiser for Chicago's Richard Daley? He was at the forefront of this corrupt, Chicago-style politics that Barack Obama refused to stand up to. I guess that paid off.

But why is Emanuel the ultimate backwards choice? Because he was part of Bill Clinton's inside circle when he was involved in all of these sex scandals. Monica Lewinsky, Gennifer Flowers, Juanita Broaderrick, Paula Jones. Do any of those ring a bell? And there was Rahm Emanuel ... standing right by his side ... working his buns off to make sure that Clinton's sexual escapades didn't become public. And it seems he didn't learn his lessons, because he knew about the sexual scandals in the race for Mark Foley's seat a few years ago, and denied, denied, denied, and the blamed it on Republicans.

To Barack Obama's credit ... the guy has deep ties to the Jewish community. Maybe this will shape his willingness to meet with Ahmadinejad who has called for the destruction of Israel. Then again, maybe not.

Let's keep watching the staffing choices. Hoping things get a bit better.
