How would you define "character"?  The character of a man defines whether or not he can be trusted.  Is he trustworthy? Honest? Reliable? Loyal? Is he accountable for his words, actions, and attitudes? He would not blame others carelessly and would be open-minded, respectful to others.  A man with a good character would be a good citizen and loyal and such a man would be a good leader.

Would you say that our "leaders" in Washington need a good dose of character-building?  The latest scandal, but not uncommon, surrounds one man who has shamed his family, the office he holds as Congressman, and has swept the nation's news for the past two weeks.  It is a sad story of a man's weakness and instability in all matters, both personal and public.

The excuse "everyone does it" is no excuse!  America deserves better from its representatives and its president.  The President is the absolute leader of our nation, and therefore, his actions and attitudes trickle down to those in Congress, for the representatives are only as good as its "leader" - the President.  Without a trustworthy leader, those who sit under such leadership began to act and hold much of the same attitudes, thinking there is no one they need to be accountable to - not to the people they serve, or the flag they serve under.
Americans did not vote for "change" that would destroy relationships with its allies, or change America into the 22nd Arab nation!  The article by Sultan Knish, posted last night, entitled "The "Muslims First" Foreign Policy" clearly demonstrates the road this President is leading Americans down ... a road that embraces ideologies foreign to everything Americans holds dear, while betraying our friends throughout the world.  Once you understand the "roadmap" Obama has chosen, it should explain his hatred and disrespect towards Israel and its leaders.
Which brings me to the recent visit of PM Netanyahu (Bibi) to the United States.  Much has been said about Bibi's classic meeting with Obama last month.  The discussion surrounded Middle East history and Obama's dysfunctional foreign policies. (In plain English, exactly what "The Muslims First" foreign policy" describes, along with the bias of this administration).   Can such a president be trusted, as he gives the farm away to the Arab nations?  His concerns are not that of the American people; they are all wrapped up in promoting Islam throughout the world, at the expense of America's security and interests, both at home and foreign.  If Obama were just a citizen, his ideas would almost be considered treasonous in thought; for he waves the flag of nations that undermine the United States (which explains his reluctance to salute the American flag).  Obama can no longer hide his character behind snake-oil salesmanship; nor does a teleprompter hide his true agenda, as he has distorted the duties of a president and became the Apologist for Islam.
Meanwhile, PM Netanyahu's character has remained the same since his youth.  He has grown and been rewarded for his undying loyalty to the State of Israel and Israel can trust such a man, and it does, simply because Bibi's character is unwavering; his loyalty towards the safety and security of Israel remains the same as when he was 28 years old (see video below).  Is it no wonder that Congress cheered and clapped for Bibi during his speech to Congress on May 24th; our Congress recognized a trustworthy leader - a leader who respects America and defends his nation.

In a remarkable video from 1978, 28 year old MIT grad Benjamin Netanyahu debates whether there should be a Palestinian state created on the West Bank and Gaza. Netanyahu argues that such a state would have but one goal: to destroy the Jewish state of Israel. He reviews the history from 1948 to 1967, when Gaza was controlled by Egypt and the West Bank by Jordan and there were no calls to end the occupation, or for national sovereignty for the Palestinians.

But one thing was similar in that period and today: terror attacks against Israeli Jews. Netanyahu went by the name of Benjamin Nitay at the time. His brother, Yonatan was an Israeli commando who led the Entebbe raid on July 4, 1976 during which he died. Netanyahu chose to use the name Nitay at MIT, where he was one year behind me, in large part for security reasons due to his brother's notoriety and the spate of Palestinian terror attacks aimed at Israelis all over the world.
