President Obama's Pilgrimage.

President Obama's Pilgrimage.

A pilgrimage is a journey or search of moral or spiritual significance.

After his first election, President Obama went to Egypt. He gave a speech. After his second election, he went to Israel. He gave a speech. He seems to have an affinity for "saying things". (Some may be referencing a particular Simpsons episode now, but I digress...)

Earlier in his career, I brought you, his Throw Israel To The Wolves Speech , wherein effect, he proposed that The Jewish State return to the '67 borders. I guess that thought, might still be rolling around inside that head of his,because prior to this week's trip the White House's YouTube account released this video, detailing The President's upcoming trip, complete with an animated map, with obviously shrunken Israeli borders. 

Upon his arrival to the Holy Land, to campaign on the behalf of the Palestinians, Mr. Obama was greeted by a large constituency of anti- American , anti- Obama, flag burning, Allah Akbar chanting , shoe throwing community organizers. 

Now, no decent Obama foreign policy trip (although there is no new policy here) would be complete without a "The Beast" catastrophe. No. Not to be outdone by the legendary bottoming out of the President's limo, this time all the President's men somehow managed to pump the wrong fuel into "The Beast". If only "The Beast" had been wind powered , then all those headwinds , Obama is constantly talking about, would have come in handy. So Obama had to borrow a ride from Jordan.

Many have asked, why did President Obama has come to Israel at this point in time. I'll let history be the judge of that, but let's examine some interesting happenstances. 

1. Obama ate a Matzah given to him by a robot.
2. He made a joke about Iran's nuclear ability.
3. The President planted a magnolia tree , and for a day, it was in danger of being uprooted...but now it's okay.
4. Israel released a YouTube video of an animated Obama and Netanyahu set to the theme song of The Golden Girls.
5. Obama compared the relationship of Israelis/Palestinians to that of the US and Canada.
6. He refused the invitation to speak to the Knesset, and instead spoke to a handpicked audience of college students. 
7. While speaking there, he was heckled and said it made him feel at home.
8. Obama had to borrow a coin to throw in the wishing well, definitively proving, that The President can throw other people's money down a wishing well, in multiple countries.
9. The Palestinian Authority's message to Obama, Hilter was better than FDR.
10. Obama was scheduled to fly to Bethlehem , but a sandstorm (perhaps more headwinds? ) forced him to be driven there instead.

Then the President left Israel and met with legendary disco stars Abba to perform the hit song "Dancing Queen"... no wait, what he didn't meet with Abba? Oh! he met with PA President Mahmoud Abbas ...my bad.. and on that note I will bid you adieu...

Oh yeah. Do you think President Obama found any moral or spiritual significance during his pilgrimage?
