#1 They sound surprised that Obama is going to be openly antagonistic to Israel and the Jews. I guess they weren't paying attention before the election when it came out that for decades he attended a church that wallows in it.

#2 maybe not actually muslim, but EXTREMELY open to their issues, huh? Perhaps America's Juice will start to figure out that party loyalty should work both ways?

#3 ION TOPIX > IRAN READY TO TEST NUCLEAR BOMB.

IRAN has the CAPABILITY, iff NOT the INTENTIONS, to do such within six months.

#4 Kind of ironic that American Jews would help elect a President who would love nothing more than to witness the destruction of the Zionist Entity.

#5 Obama and his foreign policy advisors would prefer seeing Labor at the helm (remember the 'casual drop-in' when Ehud Barak was in a meeting at the White House).

However, they figure that if there's to be a so-called peace agreement that's agreeable to the Israeli Right (it'll be agreeable to the Left in any case), it has to be done by Likud, a la Begin and Sadat's Camp David Accord.

But Carter lucked out; a combination of naivete and near-fanaticism. He talked both sides nearly to death and got an agreement. Obama and his advisors have nearly the exact opposite characteristics. Hence the Chicago-Way.

When Obama said "there is a narrow window of opportunity for advancing the peace process", it could also have been in reference to Likud having a tenuous political-hold. The White House reckoned that Netanyahu, when this first started, didn't have the political capital to long resist, that either he would eventually capitulate, or his government would fall. Either would have been preferred by the White House.

As it stands, not only is the Obama adminstration not getting what they want, but it appears they're running ito domestic oppostion as well.

Kind of ironic that American Jews would help elect a President who would love nothing more than to witness the destruction of the Zionist Entity.

Keep in mind that Obama pretty much ignored them (among other Democrat interest groups) during the primaries, especially in Pennsylvania. They voted for him anyway.

#8 Mos people who voted for Obama are what I thought they were: blind fools.

I thought seriously about voting for him. McCain and most of the Republicans would simply slow-walk us down the same path that Obama has us on now with the only difference being that the Republicans would have taken as generation to inflict as much damage as Obama has already. At least this way the crash will be close enough to the policies and the shift radical enough that there's some chance that blame will be levied on the proper parties.
