Thanks for the link, Ernest. Confirms a lot of armchair analyses.

Here we have a callow communist under consideration to become president, and the serious, career military, state, and political men and women who have made such an achievement possible are battered about.

“Hey Obama, we believed you the first time”

Yes, but now he wears a flag pin, has thrown his Black church under the bus, and brought his white grandmother back aboard the bus...at least in some secret location in Hawaii.

Now AIPAC’s job (should the disaster of an Obama presidency occur) will be to hold his feet to the fire. That’s why AIPAC invites all sides.

Did you notice the sparse applause for BHO?

Berry is courting the Jewish vote. Watch him try to transform himself from a liberal socialist to a conservative democrat now that he’s running in the general election.

RFK was assassinated by a Muslim terrorist for the same reason

That motivation was certainly swept under the rug during the perp's trial. The impression that the media gave the public at the time was that the assassin was unbalanced, no other motivation.

(I refuse to mention the killer's name because I believe assassins and rage killers should be denied their fame/infamy forever.)

My bumper sticker idea for Obachurian is “10 out of 10 terrorist choose Obama”.

This is what Nader sent out in his e-mails today, in part:

"....listen to Barack Obama's speech from this morning to the militarist and right-wing American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

Did Obama make one mention of the illegal Israeli blockade of Gaza's 1.5 million people and the UN-documented resulting humanitarian disaster there?

He did not.

Instead, Obama talked about "a Gaza controlled by Hamas with rockets raining down on Israel."

Did Obama mention U.S. government supplied Israeli firepower resulting in Palestinian civilian casualties in Gaza at a ratio of 400 to 1 (Palestinian to Israeli)

He did not.

Many peace loving Israelis and Jewish Americans will be disgusted by Obama's speech today.

Like the editor at the Israeli newspaper Haaretz who wrote that the Israeli government has "lost its reason" through the brutal incarceration, devastation and deprivation of the innocent people in Gaza.

Obama told AIPAC today that "we must isolate Hamas." (In its current form.)

Did he mention that a March 2008 Haaretz poll showed that 64 percent of the Israeli people want direct negotiations for peace between Israel and Hamas, while only 28% oppose it?

He did not.

Instead, Obama said this morning that "Egypt must cut off the smuggling of weapons into Gaza."

Did he say that Israel must stop bombing the people of Gaza?

He did not.

Obama this morning told AIPAC that "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided."

Did Obama mention that this pledge undermines the widespread international consensus two-state solution peace plan?

He did not. So, in a nutshell:

In this critical election year, Nader/Gonzalez stands on these issues with the majority of Israelis, Palestinians, Jewish-Americans and Arab Americans.

Obama/McCain stand with the hard-line minority position of AIPAC.

Nader speaks in Portland, Maine this week seeking support.

Thanks...maybe Nader can peel off some of his support.
