HONOLULU, Hawaii (AFP) — US president-elect Barack Obama is "monitoring" the deadly violence in the Gaza strip while he is on vacation in Hawaii, a spokesperson said Saturday.
Obama, who takes office on January 20, "is closely monitoring global events, including the situation in Gaza," said his chief national security spokesperson Brooke Anderson.

‘Monitoring’? Isn’t like voting “present”?
How bout a real decision or opinion from PEOTUS before we’re all blown up?
"If somebody was sending rockets into my house where my two daughters sleep at night, I'm going to do everything in my power to stop that," Obama said. "And I would expect Israelis to do the same thing."How's that "being silent" on the issue?
Please, people, let's try not to do what the MSM does, which is see the world through heavily tinted glasses and only report a pre-arranged "truth".
If Obama sticks by his comment here, that's a good thing, not "silence".
