Ooooo-kay. Certainly, we’d hope he would, but his record seems somewhat spotty on the whole strong-friend-to-Israel thing. Let’s recap:

In my opinion, EXACTLY!

Maybe we could believe Obama when he says that an Obama administration would put our democratic allies ahead of the kleptocracies and worse in the Middle East if he hadn’t spent so much time with people who feel the opposite, and have acted on those feelings. His only actions on record have been to hire Malley and give money to Khalidi. What does that say about Obama that Jackson didn’t get right?

In my second opinion, EXACTLY!!!

Thanks JJ.

No Jerome, No mention by Hannity.

?

because Obama supporters all seem to be under some kind of spell.

Yeah, not kidding with that one. I made the mistake of not easing into a conversation with an old neighbor I ran into. They’re really conservative type folks, but when I said something that wasn’t favorable about the ONE, he went ballistic. Not a little pissed, I mean BALLISTIC.

Never seen this kind of religious zeal on a political figure. Doesn’t bode well for outcomes of this election, though like someone stated above about obama’s approach to taxes it is simplistic.

McCain wins – Riots in the streets
Truther Berg in PA is right and Obama has to remove candidacy – Riots in the streets
Obama Wins and starts making changes along the lines of Odinga – Riots in the streets.

I think that’s exactly what it is and he’s hoping a statement like that will peel off some of Obama’s support, while he publicly appears to still back Obama. Unfortunately, I don’t know how well it will work though, because Obama supporters all seem to be under some kind of spell.

Barack Obama may say that Israel has no better friend than himself…

Won’t he have to enter a cagematch with Joe Biden for that honor?

Rev Wright, Farrakhan, and Jesse Hymietown Jackson, the Three Wise Men

Farrakhan has verified the identity of the Messiah.

Jackson proclaims the message of goodwill.

Wright, well Wright can take credit for mentoring the Messiah

Could the world be a happier place?

BHO is a total joke, and he is making a mockery of everything the US stands for. Send him back to Indonesia, already.

No man of God, as he claims he is, speaks this way. His hatred of Israel comes out again.

As he came in from the cold and took off his coat, I went up to greet him. He responded warmly, and volunteered, “Hey, I’m sorry I haven’t said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I’m hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.” He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the The Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy, “Keep up the good work!”

It’s too bad we can’t write this off as a lone kook spouting off. Obama’s long term commitment to anti-Israel TUCC and Rev Wright, who is also closely tied to Farrakhan, indicates that more than just guilt by association. Hot……

You claim to be an agent of change, Odinga wants to take Kenya back to the 5th 7th Century. Sure this is change, but not the kind of change most of us had in mind.

Sorry, had to fix that one.

Marine_Bio on October 15, 2008 at 10:49 AM

Thanks for the help. : ))

I guess Hymietown is not going to do so well either.

I forgot that one -well done. I’m sure the financial meltdown was caused by the Joooos, and those kosher chickens are coming home to roost!

Another longstanding foreign policy flaw is the degree to which special interests dictate the way in which the “national interest” as a whole is defined and pursued…. America’s important historic relationship with Israel has often led foreign policy decision-makers to defer reflexively to Israeli security assessments, and to replicate Israeli tactics, which, as the war in Lebanon last summer demonstrated, can turn out to be counter-productive.

Obama is a friend of Israel like Iago was a friend of Othello.

Because there is no logical explanation why they would vote for Barry and his ilk.

It is also mysterious why any of the Christian right would be voting for anyone who doesn’t support Israel either.
