I'm so glad to be able to say that I voted for McCain...for all the good that did! Now, the real challenge will be to get our co-ethno/religionists to support Palin in 2012! That will be a tall order, I'm afraid. The only tool for leverage I have on this score is tha most Israelis I know really like her. These are the same people who supported McCain three-to-one, who can now say to their cousins here, "I told you so. When are you going to start listening to us??!!"

I had no idea of who this latest Obama appointment is, and what her credentials are for the job. Unfortunately the appointment seems to say that those of us who were willing to give the Obama Administration time, were simply fooling ourselves. I had initially been cheered by the thought that Rahm Emanuel would be a major Administration figure, close to the President and able to bear positive influence in relation to Israel. Apparently he has influence but not in the direction one would expect. One question now seems to be how far this Administration will go in distancing itself from, and pressuring Israel. It is bad now but it could get worse should they decide to Europeanize their position. The JStreet ploy is of course their way of trying to limit the political damage on this. But it is to be hoped that the great majority of Jews who truly support Israel will now be deeply questioning their support for Obama. Thanks for this.
