Harsanyi: President Obama’s Remarkable Holocaust Cheapshot - Conservative News

During the third — and mercifully, final — presidential debate, Republican candidate Mitt Romney, as expected, hit Barack Obama for his awful record on Israel. The president was ready.

‘If we’re going to talk about trips that we’ve taken — when I was a candidate for office, first trip I took was to visit our troops,’ Obama explained. ‘And when I went to Israel as a candidate, I didn’t take donors. I didn’t attend fundraisers. I went to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum there, to remind myself the nature of evil and why our bond with Israel will be unbreakable.’

Freakout over here.

When constantly presented with the fact that your wingnut candidate is nothing but an echo of the POTUS, the only thing that you can do is freak out in impotent rage.

So, an expensive shot, with donors and fundraisers, is preferable?

Plus:

Ew, Human Events. Not clicking.

I wonder what they would have said if he HADN'T gone to Yad Vashem. Presumably not the nothing they're saying about Romney.

They are upset because they did not think of doing it first.

I'm not clicking on a Human Events link either, but I don't need to.

How typical. Romney tried several times to imply that President Obama has thrown Israel under the bus, yet when POTUS pointed out that Romney only went to Israel to collect money and couldn't be bothered to nod at the place that memorializes the horrific events that immediately preceded its creation*, then it's a cheap shot.

I guess they have a guilty conscience about POTUS pointing that out. Romney in my observations only uses the state of Israel as a vehicle to bash President Obama and frankly that's pretty shameful.
