So naturally NPR reported today that Obama has to be careful and supportive of Israel to court the “Jewish” (Lieberman-AIPAC) vote back home.

He tries to make his conservative Jewishness sound like Christian Fundamentalism, as if Christians would like him more for that. Or Jews either, for that matter. He should keep his Religion out of politics, as should all the other faux-God-lovers in Congress. I think being a member of this Congress means you won’t be going through those pearly gates anyway.</p> Lieberman sucks.

Did I her that Sunstein & Powers just married? Ftting couple. I also tried to hold her feet to the fire wih a Q about the withdrawal from Iraq. (Something like: What will withdrawal look like, and if your A is that it will be messy, isn’t that a reason for either (a) an excuse not to withdraw, or (b) a one-term presidency.) She ran off at the mouth about how you had to negotiate, never addressed the reality of how that would probably be insuffiencient to prevent the mess, and certainly didn’t touch my point about one-term Obama prez. She’s almost as removed from reality as W et al.</p> Oy. Did I her that Sunstein & Powers just married? Ftting couple.
