Not only did President Obama visit Israel earlier than any Republican president, but his visit was by all measures a huge success. Obama delivered an historic speech in Jerusalem and also got Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to apologize to Turkey. Yes, this is what real leaders do; they don’t spend their time chasing the tail of a foreign PM just because their main funder tells them to.

Obama’s visit was so successful that Fox News chose to pout by declaring war on the White House Easter Egg Hunt.

President Obama is a true friend of Israel. True friends tell it like it is, while offering their support. They don’t use their friends for political gain during elections, heedless and careless of the harm their actions might cause for their “friend”.

This is what real leadership looks like in action. Be sure to share it with your conservative friends, otherwise they’ll have no idea it even happened.
