While Obama has shamelessly pandered (along with the rest of them) for the American Jewish vote, he has at the same time demonstrated a grasp of Middle Eastern realities that I have not heard from any other candidate. And while he has made some errors (in my opinion), he got it right on the big …

A century of willful ignorance
A friend of mine just sent me an interesting article by Ramzy Baroud, about Johns Hagee and McCain: http://www.palestinechronicle.com/view_article_details.php?id=13720 Here’s the first paragraph from Baroud’s article: A memorable quote in Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894) still carries a wealth of relevance.

You bastards!
You bastards! It is clear after Obama’s speech that there is nothing he could possibly do to keep you from incessantly harping on his relationship with his pastor.
