Whiskey:

The problem for Tom Friedman is he ignores the main issue: no one in Israel trusts Obama and everyone in Israel believes he has already sold them out, thrown them under the bus.

I don’t always agree with you, but this time I do.

Obama is acting like a man in a hurry, as if he thinks his presidency will end any day now. I get the feeling he is trying to chalk up his diplomatic successes (read: sellouts) as fast as he can before something happens. It’s just that I’m not sure what that “something” really is.

I think the President needs to realize that he’s the captain of our team, and he’s got to fight for America. I don’t think most Americans want some Uncle Tom doing the bidding of a bunch of transnational elitists who’d sell our nation down the river in a heartbeat.

Those who would systematically sell America’s allies down the river would probably sell our nation down the river too.
