Obama has shown his true colors in more than one way this week

The Wisconsin fiasco as orchestrated by the Democratic Party and approved by him has just about overshadowed what he was planning to do in the United Nations by comdemning Israel.  Here are some articles about both.

US vetoes UN resolution on Israeli settlements- Washington Post

The U.N. veto and the real headline -Washington Post opinion by Jennifer Rubin
The final paragraph tells the whole story:
Sure, the U.N. once again has proven itself to be a hot-bed of anti-Israel rhetoric. But let's be clear what really happened this week. The U.S. representative, while reluctantly casting a veto, joined the pack of jackals that seek to make Israel the culprit for all that ills the Middle East. Shouldn't THAT be the headline?

The UN is up to the Usual Insults to the US

A New York Post editorial:
An UN-welcome visit

Looks like the notorious UN Human Rights Council has taken a break from its constant bashing of Israel and is focusing on (ready for this?) housing violations in US cities, including New York.

You didn't know that "adequate housing" (whether you pay for it or not) was a universal human birthright?

Neither did we.

Nonetheless, the panel sent its "special rapporteur on adequate housing," Raquel Rolnik, on a whirlwind tour to sniff out these "violations" -- not to say, crimes -- against humanity.

Rolnik launched her US visit last week in the city and is also traveling to places like Chicago, New Orleans and South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

At issue: whether adequate housing is too hard to come by amid the economic downturn.

Never mind genocide in Darfur or, say, Tehran's crackdown on those who protest Iran's stolen June election. (Yesterday, the regime's "supreme leader" said just questioning the results is criminal).

Rolnik says her mission is to "hear the voices of those who are suffering" -- and she doesn't mean overtaxed, rent-controlled landlords struggling to pay their bills. Rather, she's decries "the reduction of the role of the state in housing."

Gee, why not just declare capitalism itself a war crime -- and be done with it?

Actually, since 2000, the UN has had a housing investigator looking into shortages in such obvious places as Cambodia, Kenya and Iran. (Notably, the first place visited was the Palestinian territories.)

But this is its first foray into US territory -- and it remains to be seen whether she'll call for Donald Trump and other landlords to be hauled before the International Criminal Court.

On the other hand, there is a perfect site for new "affordable housing": that patch of land along the East River that's been wasted for 60 years on the UN.

I've posted the whole editorial here but this is the tag line: Have an opinion on this Post editorial? Send it in to LETTERS@NYPOST.COM!

Limits to Hypocrisy?

From the Washington Post an interview with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.

'Just means against an unjust attack'

Q: What did you think of the Goldstone report?

A: I thought there were limits to hypocrisy but I was obviously wrong.

That answer jumped out to me. You need to read the whole thing.

Another Outrage Discovered

Where Did the American Flag Go?
by Kathryn Jean Lopez

The United States Mission to the United Nations has a new look online. If you check out the redesigned site, you see it’s decked out in United Nations blue, with the U.N. logo prominently displayed.

Fine, the U.N. logo is there. But where is the United States flag? And where did the red, white, and blue that used to introduce the site go?If you compare the new U.S. Mission site to the Mission sites of other permanent member nations, you’ll see that America takes a backseat to not just the United Nations, but nationalism...You also won’t find archived statements from past U.S. ambassadors to the United Nations. It’s all Susan Rice, all the time. That means the U.S. Mission site is currently no longer hosting historic documents concerning our ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In Barack Obama’s America, we don’t just apologize for the past, we erase it?

I assume with a little uproar, the U.S. flag will, at least, make a return. If nothing else, members of the European Union, who have already made strides in surrendering their sovereignty, should do the job.
Currently, their Mission websites put ours to shame.

Go to the corner of National Review to see it all! Let Susan Rice know how you feel about this.

The United Nations is Getting Some Bad Press

That means it must really be bad. This is an article from Foreign Policy, but notice all the references in the article.

Still Going Nowhere Man
by Jacob Heilbrunn
A scathing confidential memo by a senior Norwegian diplomat leaked to the press yesterday has taken public what up until now has been the quiet and increasingly despairing concern at the United Nations about Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Indeed, Ban might now be facing what must have seemed unthinkable only a few months ago: a single term as the head of the United Nations.

In her damning memo, Deputy U.N. Ambassador Mona Juul called Ban -- the South Korean foreign minister elected secretary-general in 2007 -- "spineless," "charmless," and, most importantly, "incapable" of setting an agenda. Her critique echoed a series of pieces in the international press -- in The Economist, The Times of
London, and by yours truly in Foreign Policy -- that in recent months have called Ban out for his miserable performance, citing his lack of vision, leadership, or policy prowess. Of course, Ban and his staff have aggressively tried to combat this emerging image. My own article drew an outraged letter from Ban's chief of staff, who claimed my criticisms were part of some unnamed "political agenda." I doubt he
can say the same of Juul's.
