Right wingers have to be the pettiest people in the world.

Possible one-termer, unless he has the luck of Bill, he seems to be following that playbook to the T and much better than Hillary did.

I do think though that it’s Obama’s 300+ backup who are brilliant. Obama delivers their lines better than any Oscar recipient ever delivered theirs. I often say that he’d make a great actor.

Wright, of 20 years, who knew him best, described him truthfully. His propaganda tour of duty(according to NBC), in Europe, his speeches, words "I know I do not look like other Americans who previously have spoken in this great city", in Germany, then apologizing for series of things is just elitist, and appeasing. He could be a celebrity in Europe, but not in Middle America. Well, Ahmadinejad, will be coming to New York soon, why not candidate Obama publicly send a stern message to him strongly supporting Israel.

Probably said something like this: "They're buying it. It's good to be Me." Remember, for two decades he sat in a "Christian" church and supported it while his spiritual mentor showed them all how to break the Commandments. To lie and be resentful and envious - even hateful. He always does what's appropriate and right. Never any reason to admit being wrong. It's his judgment that's so superior, he'll tell you. That little note he tucked in the Wall?

Shimon Peres our purely symbolic president who has retired from active politics after never winning an election and is a swooning left dove, was Obama's biggest fan here. For press he got, there was just as much if not more healthy skepticism here in Israel. McCain leads Obama by large margins in Israelis polled for preference, and opinion news pieces were mostly also very skeptical, not much if any of the usual love affair opinion pieces you see plenty of in the US. Allison put this proper tag line above: "Israelis liked what they heard from the Democratic presidential candidate during his whirlwind visit. They just hope they can believe it." One might argue strongly few were moved as Obama is widely seen as a double-talker & Israelis are notoriously cynical of hype machines, sensitive and largely unimpressed by propaganda. Our press threw no small measure of zingers Obama's way while he toured around challenging harder than I've seen from most of his regular tagging press corps. Frankly, making a big show in the US at AIPAC in what was clearly a political what you want to hear speech, resulted in many more headlines over his backtrack on Jerusalem the last while, than Obama got over his 24 hour shoot through Israel. He left this morning, our public broadcaster made no mention of him in the evening TV news tonight, maybe there was something in the trailing 5 minutes where they cover fluff, I didn't watch that long. In Israel we respect both nominees, they represent the future of our #1 ally after all, but this was certainly the least hype Obama has seen I would gather in a long long while. Contrasted to the German reaction today, night & day.

It's a delicate matter, I suppose, and the Israeli Press may be rightly reluctant to mention it -- but Drudge and other reports I've read hint at some rather vocal opposition to HIS arrival.

We have had several Prime Ministers which our media just had orgasms over, and which were the worst, most uninformed, most cynical, and most dangerous leaders we ever could have elected. Remember Rabin and the media hype about how Israel is waiting for Rabin? Rabin turned out to be a drunkard who brought Israel to her knees with the Oslo Accords and Arafat's terrorist army in the heart of Israel. And then our media led us into voting Ehud Barak into the PM's office, and Barak didn't just leave Israel broken and bleeding with his Lebanon pullout, he multiplied the damage with his unbelievable offers of complete Israeli surrender at Camp David when he met with Arafat and Clinton. Then our media fell in love with our own home grown criminal fascist, Ariel Sharon, who along with his disengagement fiasco, proceed to almost fatally damage Israeli democracy with his criminal behavior and his abuse of our most important political and governmental institutions. And of course, our media just loved Ehud Olmert, and after his plonter in Lebanon in 2006, Ehud Olmert found even more innovative ways, with his criminal behavior and immorality, to make Israeli politics even more unpalatable to our public. Take my word for it, anyone the media loves, either here or in America, will be the worst possible leader ever elected should he win the election, and by this I do mean Barack Obama.
