bobad, thanks for posting that article.

I wonder what Boehner's said about Goldberg's comment that "Mr. Boehner, I'm sure, is a terribly busy man, with many burdensome responsibilities, so I have to assume that he simply didn't have time to read the entire Obama interview, or even the entire paragraph, or even a single clause. If he had, of course, he would have seen that Obama was clearly calling the Middle East conflict, and not Israel, a sore," Goldberg wrote. "Why, there's no one who would disagree that the Middle East conflict is a 'sore,' is there?"
Ouch! :o)

Also, with regards to Senator Obama's comment "I want to make sure that the people of Israel, when they kiss their kids and put them on that bus, feel at least no more existential dread than any parent does whenever their kids leave their sight", the reference to "people of Israel" could have been also "Palestinian people", "people of Iraq", etc etc world wide, including people of the United States. That's why I want Barack Obama to be the next USA president instead of John McCain who will just continue George W. Bush's disastrous foreign policies.

I agree with the statement that Obama "has a vision to change America so that it leads the "world community but not with domination and arrogance." Just because a Hamas official said it doesn't mean that that statement is wrong. And it also doesn't mean that Barack Obama supports Hamas.

Also, I believe that a president Barack Obama would be fairer to Palestinians' short term and long term concerns than a president John McCain would be.
