One of Obama’s little pseudointellectual gimmicks was very visibly holding topical books to send a signal ahead of a policy intifada. One of those infamous moments came when he was showing off Fareed Zakaria’s “The Post-American World”.
That’s not something Biden does.
Biden’s not much of a reader and he hasn’t bothered with that kind of posturing before, but then shortly after forcing a ceasefire on Israel using an arms embargo, he was photographed while ‘pulling an Obama’.
President Biden was photographed exiting the Nantucket Bookworks bookstore in Massachusetts with a copy of an anti-Israel screed by Obama’s old pal Rashid Khalidi who had been a terrorist spokesman. Was Biden really planning to read through ‘The Hundred-Year War on Palestine: A History of Colonialism and Resistance’ which slurs Israel as an ‘apartheid state’ and describes Islamic terrorism against Jews as ‘resistance’?
After the Oct 7 attacks, Khalidi defended Hamas, claimed that its members really wanted peace and that Hamas had opened “a door that the United States, Europe and Israel slammed shut”.
“If you can’t go to the International Criminal Court or do a BDS,” Khalidi argued, “then you pick up a gun.”
Khalidi was so toxic that the Los Angeles Times had permanently buried a video of Obama’s toast for the former terror spokesman.
So why is Biden showing off a copy of Khalidi’s hate tract?
Regular readers know I’ve been highly skeptical of past claims that Obama is controlling Biden. I’ve written plenty about the role that Obama has played, largely through his associates and more importantly through the ‘unity’ deal he brokered to secure the nomination for Biden in 2020, but all of that relied on empowering various figures in the administration. Biden had mixed feelings about Obama (at least back when his mind functioned) and he had plenty of loyalists around him. Obama was and had been old news for a while.
The Biden administration did not have Obama’s fingerprints all over it.
The Kamala campaign had more obvious Obama fingerprints all over it and if you look at it from a cultural perspective, it’s pretty easy to spot.
Ditto for Biden toting around a copy of the book Obama would be showing off if he were still in the White House.
The Biden administration is toast. It’s mostly of value to the folks who want to use the remaining days to accomplish whatever destructive political goals they have in mind. The careerists have checked out. No one sees a future for this administration and that leaves a pretty clear field for Obama and his allies.
And what do they want?
Obama’s exit strategy involved going after Israel in 2016 in order to force another realignment. Carrying around an anti-Israel book is a topical signal that another realignment on Israel is about to be forced. It’s not how Biden’s people would normally signal this. It’s how Obama’s people would. We know their objective.
It’s the diplomatic recognition of an Islamic terrorist state inside Israel.

Obama and Biden would make good Cellmates together doing time for Treason with Clinton(Bill)and Gore the Bore

… along with Harris and several hundred apparatchiks who have been principal actors in their treasonous acts. There will be no justice and a beginning of the restoration of the American Republic until these cretins are prosecuted and put away for life. In the process the Democrat party should be decertified, disestablished, and dismembered as a consequence of it being an international organized criminal enterprise (masquerading as a political party) in league with a long list of Marxist, Islamist, and narco-terrorist entities and operators. To allow them to remain as a legitimate member of the American body politic would be like allowing the Nazi party (NSDAP) to remain as an active member of the West German government at the end of WWII. There are many commonalities between today’s Democrat Party and NSDAP, and both belong on the ash heap of history.

I hope the Trump admin don’t do another fake promise where he promised to lock up Hillary Clinton and then said it would divide the country. If they don’t lock this lot up, it will be 2016 all over again: Russia Russia Russia again, more assassination attempts, chaos and destruction.

This time around the Israelis know exactly what they are getting as far as the new President goes, that’s going to make it a lot harder for the genocidal anti-semitic Democraps in Washington to bring pressure to bear effectively on them, for the simple reason they know they only have to wait until the third week in January.

Beginning with the Clintons, the 30 year grift of the radicalized commie Jihadi DemoCrats has finally come to an end. It continued with the fundamental transformation of grifter No.2, gay Muslim Barry Soetoro. It finally crashed and burned with Demented Biden. Each iteration was worse than what went before. Each iteration needed propping up from an increasingly corrupt “press”.
Can you imagine what a Hilary presidency would have looked like? A scandal du jour. Fortunately Trump won against her and we got to see what normalcy looked like albeit for four years. Otherwise it would have been continuous scandal and grift, through Clinton, Obama and Biden into the Harris admin. Grift-a-palooza.
Thank God Harris was so monumentally awful as a candidate. Back to normalcy and greatness with Trump 2.0.
When you have spent the better part of 30 years engaging in the identity politics grift, I don’t know where you go when you get whacked at the polls
So Oboingo thinks he can affect America’s relationship with Israel now. Obviously he is delusional.

Nothing says peace like an AK blazing away at unarmed young people attending a concert, or breaking into homes and chopping the heads off babies.
Back to Biden. I believe he wants to leave a colossal mess behind to hinder Trump as much as possible, and so does Obama. Biden is no longer sharp enough (if he ever was) to do it by himself, but he does sit in the BIG chair with authority to do a lot of damage. That’s where Obama’s influence might get transferred through many “buffers” and reach Biden in a way that makes him think it would enhance his legacy, especially after being forced to drop his fantasy of a second term. Almost surely Biden thinks that was what put Trump back in the White House.
If the mess is big enough and nasty enough, I’m sure Obama’s fingerprints will be all over it.

Speaking of books-
Coming soon to a bookstore near you:
Obama’s Mind
Synopsis: Obama’s mind was poisoned early in his life; and, as for experiencing a foundational homegrown American childhood, elemental to forming the strong, Godly moral roots and purpose of this nation, he did not. His was a childhood planned to have a different, divergent trajectory through adulthood straight to the White House.
Chosen by, exalted by, connected to and attracted to nurturing agents of evil, he was directed, groomed and slobbered over to be the current, most powerful resurrector of evil in today’s world, in the guise of an American president like no other, specifically, after eight years in office, still wielding power for eight more years as president in a shadow government during Trump’s four years of his first term and then ‘being’ Biden for Joe’s four years.
Few Americans believe that he’s always been a one issue president – the issue of destroying America and Israel – and because of that, they don’t believe that he and his millions of accomplices are traitors.
The Nobel peace laureate hid his obsession in plain sight by creating fake issues/crises, and wars, to ‘lead’ America into division and moral decay, and Israel into oblivion.
And with such willing domestic and global partners, why wouldn’t he see America and Israel destroyed “in his lifetime”.? He could taste it. All these years, and now so close….
But now the ending is pending.
That’s what’s holding up publication.
The suspense is riveting.
The founding fathers are watching.
It’ll be a blockbuster.

Any such terror state within Israel will be rejected by the Israeli people. I am told they do reject that (other than some paid off creepy Biden-Obama allies at the top). Israel would inevitably be at war with such `’states” win and retake the territory. There are forces in heaven more powerful than Obama, believe it or not. And whatever Obama and his UN pals do in 5 weeks, it can be undone. Much of Gaza is rubble. Were it to attack Israel again, it would be rubble again and again.. Heaven will see Israel will expand. Hopefully soon and peacefully but by any means.

The audacity of the infinite arrogance of the Kenyan herpes. As if the Kenyan herpes still mattered.
Covid-19 and the Kenyan herpes were not able to destroy America and the Kenyan herpes won’t destroy Israel either.

Fortunately for America and Israel, neither will you and your silly philosophy be able to.

In reflecting on the past, IMHO, OBAMA, IS A traitor, and should be held accountable for all the activity, that was undermining the AMERICAN IDEALS.
WE WILL FIND IN THE VOMING DAYS AS TO HOW TRULY EVIL HE WAS.

The problem Daniel is the circumstantial evidence is mountainous for xhiden being malibu’s pawn. If he did it indirectly through getting his communists like mao loving anita dunn appointed or directly demanded it obviously made no difference. There was nothing left of xhiden making his own policy and it showed in his illogical political evolution from segregationist to seemingly an Austrian school fanatic and dead red communist tyrant.. He was a grifter with some American sensibilities before and his policies all became rabid communist designed to weaken America at every juncture. xhiden’s presidency was malibu’s third term plain and simple. We won’t ever know what his presidency would be and the distinction you are making is unimportant and moot by what happened..
Flooding the border with 20 million + illegals is not something xhiden would have come up with and he likely would have been opposed to this reckless, obvious, dogmatically clumsy, and unreasonable policy as a danger to himself and his ability to grift seamlessly if he was in control. There was no trace of xhiden only a full blown Austrian school devotee as author of all his administration’s policies and appointees.
xhiden wanted to be president and malibu brokered a deal to give him the nomination. They both got everything they wanted.

Doddering old Joke Bidumb holding a book? It’s a prop. as if that retard reads.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah, it must be. Do dementia patients read? I don’t remember seeing that.
Even if he did read it he wouldn’t remember what it said.
So it seems highly probable it was a prop. Or maybe one of those books the store had on display for easy pick up. Too bad there are no eye witnesses to pin this down. Shows the difficulty of getting even current history right. Can’t even determine the basic facts.
If it was a prop, what was the motivation? Particularly with the critical situation in Israel, and with Israel relations to Biden. One of the key issues is that Israel is low on ammunition. As dumb as the terror states are, they are never low on weapons and ammunition. They stockpile vast amounts of it all over the place. Like Saddam Hussein did.
Kasandra says
I hope you’re wrong. Fifty-one days isn’t much time to come up with borders and a government for such an artificial state. The various factions will likely still be shooting and blowing up each other fifty-one days from now.

This reminds me of when Obama dictatorially ordered the DOJ to drop a case into a billion-dollar drug-trafficking enterprise run by Iranian supporting terrorists in order to appease Iran. America’s safety was irrelevant. Again, the DOJ did what it was told. Where were the honest people at DOJ to call this out?

When Biden pratttled about the ceasefire, he noticeably only mentioned the deservedly suffering residents of Lebanon and Gaza but said zero about the hostages or the rocket bombardments of Israel. That verbal mush had Obama’s handwriting all over it

Rashid Khalidi & Nazi Slur: Jews (sic) Rats (sic) Infestation.
Dore Feith.
February 1, 2017.
The famous Columbia professor repeatedly used a Nazi-era metaphor to depict Jews as vermin.
Rashid Khalidi is unapologetic. The longtime Columbia University professor last month said repeatedly that supporters of Israel would “infest” the Trump administration — language that evokes the imagery and metaphors of the Nazis. But for all the on-campus sensitivity seminars and trigger warnings that dominate our age, don’t expect an apology in this case. Apparently, no language, even if it is dehumanizing and deeply rooted in historic anti-Semitism, is out of line in condemning Israel…
What makes it especially nasty is its historical resonance. To be sure, not all criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism and not all anti-Semitism is Nazism. But there’s no getting around the fact that in his memoir, Mein Kampf, Hitler over and over again described the Jews as an infestation of vermin. That was one of the book’s main metaphors. And that’s why Nazi officials made a point of saying their Jewish policy aimed not to “kill” but to “exterminate” (vernichten), a word more appropriate for bugs or lice than human beings…
