The News of the day or any Media embossed topic or article generally influence the direction of our views to any particular picture or thought. Take this article for example by : Howard Arenstein , CBS News;
(June 10) - Israeli TV newscasters Tuesday night interpreted a photo taken Monday in the Oval Office of President Obama talking on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an "insult" to Israel.
They saw the incident as somewhat akin to an incident last year, when the Iraqi reporter threw a shoe at President Bush in Baghdad. Some Israeli newscasters are crying foul over this photo of President Barack Obama, snapped in the Oval Office on Monday as he spoke on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The journalists on Tuesday called the image insulting, since in many parts of the region, it is considered an insult to show someone the sole of your shoe. Netanyahu is making a speech Sunday, in part as a response to Mr. Obama's address to the Arab world last week in Cairo.
Israel's Channel One TV reported that Netanyahu was told Tuesday by an "American official" in Jerusalem that, "We are going to change the world. Please, don't interfere." The report said Netanyahu's aides interpreted this as a "threat."
Netanyahu met with George Mitchell today for four hours in Jerusalem. The State Department announced this afternoon that Mitchell will be stopping in Beirut and Damascus when he finishes his visits to Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Skip over this content REPORT!

outlookinvest2....... are you crazy???? If any part of what Obama is trying to do fails, the entire country will suffer. Just like we did when Bush was in office. Both Presidents are human, both have issues. But how Anti-social, and anti-American of you to wish bad times on the entire country. Get a life you politically constipated bafoon.

What a stupid thing to argue about! There was obviously no insult meant. Can we get over it and talk about the real issues? People are dying on both sides. The media should be ashamed for even reporting this. LynnWSafford

I've read posts about Obama's saying he's smart because he graduated suma cum laude and went to Harvard law school. The bottom line is you can have all the knowledge in the world, but without the COMMON SENSE TO APPLY IT, you get STUPID! abiogenesis35

This is what as known as being played. There are some groups that are very good at influence operations and unfortunately many in the U.S. fall for it every time. "The Megaphone desktop tool is a Windows "action alert" tool developed by Give Israel Your United Support (GIYUS) and distributed by World Union of Jewish Students, World Jewish Congress, The Jewish Agency for Israel, World Zionist Organization, StandWithUs, Hasbara fellowships, HonestReporting, and other pro-Israel public relations, media watchdog, or activism organizations. The tool delivers real-time alerts about key articles, videos, blogs, and surveys related to Israel or the Arab-Israeli conflict, especially those perceived by GIYUS to be highly critical of Israel, so that users can vote or add comments expressing their support of Israel."

Wow, the last comment was heated. Now we can take this in many directions. The fact that it was plastered on a public magazine prior to his election victory and was not speaking from the White House or to Netanyahu. Another site that used this picture to address the nation: erikcanady.com/money-mindest/obamas-shoes-tell-it-allyes-we-di... Here Mr Canady takes the reader in more positive direction..,
"Obama’s Shoes Tell It All…Yes We Did! But Now what?
By Erik Canady on November 5th, 2008
Yes We Did …if you look at the picture that I have posted here, you’ll see Obama’s shoes tell the entire story. This man raised 100’s millions of dollars but his shoes show the work that he put in to become the 44th President of the United States of America.
This is a proud day for America. As the main promoter and distributor of this thing called democracy, Americans showed the world that we are still innovators of the world. The people have spoken and elected America’s first African American President.
Whew…As an African American male, that is a mouth full. Like many of my generation (Gen X), my parents were a part of American history where they were not able to participate in the electoral process. My father, who is from the North Carolina, was groomed in the era where America had separate bathrooms, schools and water fountains for African Americans.
I sat in front of the television and watched footage from Greece, Africa, Japan, and Australia as their citizens were jumping in jubilation for OUR new President elect Barack Obama. As I watch this, I began to take pride in the fact that America is special."
Obama’s Shoes Tell It All…Yes We Did! But Now what?
Well, like I began if you listen to anything without the protection of your spirit you leave yourself vulnerable and manipulative. It is o.k. to gather information and research or reject the right to determine the relevance a situation brings to your intellect. Remember you are here to experience and conclude your eternity by choosing wise. Establish who you are and you can enjoy the experiences you are privy to by association. Learn to appreciate every opportunity to obtain growth and maturity of knowledge and wisdom. Your life is your canvas and you are the artist. GOD INITIATE A PLAN and our ancestors chose to go solo and believe the "hype" of an enemy to GOD AND HIS PLANS. We do not have to remain in the dark or doomed to ignorance. Experience, observe and execute sound judgment utilizing the tools GOD GAVE TO each of us and we chose to become or not become wise. Thinking about how to denounce Howard Arenstein's comment, I had to take inventory of my own actions and concluded he just expressed the level of his appreciation for the opportunity to experience just as I am now. I passionately held contempt for an individual just because his view was altered from mine. However, he found an outlet of expression and chose to elaborate that particular audience just as I hope someone appreciates what I have do say. Don't we all. Having aborted my mission to cloud anyone's orbit with anger and resentment, I'll just offer a few other points of orchestrating your life to compliment your passions and weaknesses. With a clear foundation of your persona you leave little room for instability. See the Word of GOD says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of GOD, WHO GIVES to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be GIVEN to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from THE LORD; he is a double-minded man(James 04:08), unstable in all his ways(James 01:05-09). This is not to say one can not "change" their mind as I did starting this piece, but if you are easily led astray your foundation is destructable(Hebrews03:04-12, Colossians 02:06-10, Galations 01:11-17). Or in the book of Proverbs 14:01, "The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her hands." The book of Proverbs gives many dealings about wisdom chapter 08:entirely through chapter 14. Now I'm Spiritual and The Holy Bible happens to be an instructional manual for humanity gathered from HOLY men INSPIRED by GOD(2. Peter 02:19-21). Religion is another interpretation to GOD'S UNADULTERATED WORD. The various sects and organizations provide proof that humanity is the cause of humans troubles, not THE GOD that CREATED THEM. HE merely GAVE us TOOLS(PRAYER AND FAITH) to GOVERN our choices. The final decision is our own. Don't fall for anything get stability have a view of your own.
