It is getting really crowded under Barry’s bus – preachers, grandma, about a zillion campaign promises, unsavory aging radical weathermen, allies of various degrees of unscrupulousness, and now Israel. It is dangerous being this guys friend.

Why do I see him heading back down in the polls? Of course Israel could no more agree to go back to the 1967 borders than it could agree to have a grape Kool Aide party sponsored by Himmler at a crematorium. So where is Barry think he is going with this? Well of course as usual he creates or saves a little rhetorical loophole by mentioning land swaps, but basically it is a campaign speech and little more. A bone to the Left. Congress ain’t dumping Israel and in these hard economic times they aren’t voting billions more in new aid for Arabs. Not going to happen.

So if it is not going to happen why is he talking about it? Because he doesn’t want to talk about the economy which he has wrecked with single minded determination.
