During the interview Wednesday, when confronted with the anxiety that some Israelis feel toward him, Obama said that "some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion."
"Ironically, I've got a Chief of Staff named Rahm Israel Emmanuel. My top political advisor is somebody who is a descendent of Holocaust survivors. My closeness to the Jewish American community was probably what propelled me to the U.S. Senate," Obama said.
Gag!! I guess this means the settlements in West Bank and Jerusalem will continue unabated. I didn't really have high expectations for Obama but it seems like he just caves SO easily! Does he believe what he says or is he completely compromised? He has completely lost track of his principles.
