Who knows how many of his dubious supporters and sponsors may be brushed off as he realises the true pressures of being POTUS. <BR/><BR/>If indeed his ideology is what those alarming associations indicate, and he never changes, then we have cause to worry.<BR/><BR/>But my friend examined the Obama kitchen cabinet and concluded there is sufficient pro-Israel influence there (Hillary, Emmanuel, the ex-Bush security advisor whose name escapes me...).<BR/><BR/>I suppose that doesn't mean he must take their advice...<BR/><BR/>One thing's for sure, the media are still enarmoured with him to the point of delusion. <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/column_obama_praised_for_bushs_words/" REL="nofollow">.Interesting article here</A>P.

A civilized conversation is sharpening.<BR/><BR/>Who can blame Obama for not seeking Israel's best interests when an overwhelming majority of America's own Jews couldn't care less about what happens there. 78% of American Jews voted for this man! <BR/><BR/>Even many Israeli Jews are blinded to him. When I was in Israel a few months back, a taxi driver was all excited about Obama becoming president. He even said that Mr. B. Hussein O. has a Jewish relative - a cousin who is also a rabbi - so how could Obama be against Israel! (This cousin, Capers Funnye - look him up on YouTube - is a former Methodist who believes that the original Israelites were black, i.e. "Hebrew Israelites")<BR/><BR/>Oy vey!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836835.post-12140387019030899342009-01-22T14:56:00.000-06:002009-01-22T14:56:00.000-06:00Lou,I hadn't heard that.

Glad my arguing with you didn't send you away for good. :-)<BR/><BR/>About what you said, yep, you're preaching to the choir. His unclear stance on Israel is of concern. We know Rev. Wright spews <A HREF="http://judahgabriel.blogspot.com/2008/03/obamas-pastor-spouting-anti-israel-hate.html" REL="nofollow">vehement anti-Israel hatred</A> from his pulpit. We pray Obama doesn't share his pastor's views.<BR/><BR/>I hope people on the left now see that our questioning of Obama was not a dirty campaign tactic, but rather, a real concern. It remains a concern today.<BR/><BR/>If our concern is unfounded, and Obama turns out to be a friend of Israel, well then, praise God.Judah Gabriel Himangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277699587853707632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836835.post-65612932674029813462009-01-22T13:23:00.000-06:002009-01-22T13:23:00.000-06:00Well on his first day, his first international pho...Well on his first day, his first international phone call was to President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority.

This is the same church that has bestowed its highest honors on the founder of that anti-semitic and racist organization - Louis Farrakhan.

I take it you didn't <B>Vote For Change!</B> ;-)<BR/><BR/>I heard an interesting analysis of Bush compared to Obama: we laughed at Bush; it was easy to see he couldn't speak well publicly, it was completely transparent he was a bumbler in public who said what was on his mind, didn't hide his views or actions. This transparency was a way to know him. <BR/><BR/>Contrast this with the new President who holds his cards close to his chest. It leaves questions to where he really stands, and the only real way to find out is to see his actions.<BR/><BR/>As I <A HREF="http://judahgabriel.blogspot.com/2008/03/obamas-pastor-spouting-anti-israel-hate.html" REL="nofollow">said last March</A>, my worry is that Obama's views borrow from his pastor of 20 years. I hope I'm wrong, but without transparency, it's hard to discern where he stands.<BR/><BR/>His actions will show us where he stands. I hope he stands in contrast to his pastor as a friend of Israel.Judah Gabriel Himangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277699587853707632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836835.post-46205797778635323762009-01-22T10:48:00.000-06:002009-01-22T10:48:00.000-06:00Aside from all his faults, George W.
