With President Obama wrapping up his trip to the Middle East today, we cats thought it might be fun to compare and contrast his visit with Willard Mitt Romney's excursion last July. Here goes.
Obama gave a highly praised speech to Israelis — and the world — in Jerusalem. Willard held a Republican fundraiser on foreign soil.
Obama asked Israelis to put themselves in the Palestinians' shoes — to "look at the world through their eyes." Willard said the Palestinians' low GDP was due to their inferior "culture."
Obama met with Palestinian President Abbas. Willard blew him off.
Obama said "peace is possible." Willard refused to endorse the two-state solution. (Which was pretty much in the spirit of that secretly recorded Boca Raton fundraiser, where he said the Palestinians have "no interest in whatsoever in establishing peace...the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable.")
Obama got his new BFF (although still a pain in the ass), Bibi Netanyahu, to finally talk to Turkey. And maybe even talk turkey. But for Willard, the Middle East "is going to remain an unsolved problem...we kick the ball down the field and hope that, ultimately, somehow, something will happen to resolve it."
Gee, looking back at all the Romney shenanigans, who would you rather have in the White House? Not Netanyahu's guy! We've been mighty proud of our President this week. We cats PURR.
