According to Susan Estrich, yet another of the proven losers who seems to think they run the Democratic Party today, we sure can’t. Watch her spank Obama:
The two people with the most to lose in the [Democratic Presidential] debate were … Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. … Hillary made no mistakes. Obama did.
Asked about America’s best friends in the world, Obama waxed on about NATO and our European allies before looking east to Japan. I’m not a foreign policy expert, but I’ve been around debates for decades and it was clear that Obama didn’t get that this was the Israel question.
He didn’t get that people like me, voters and donors, were waiting to hear the word “Israel” in a way that Japanese Americans were not. Japan doesn’t live under constant threats; Israel does. Japanese Americans don’t worry about Japan’s survival in the way Jewish Americans worry about Israel. Obama’s answer, in my book, was the biggest mistake of the debate.

Reading this just flat out stunned me. HOW ISRAEL CENTRIC DOES OUR FOREIGN POLICY HAVE TO BE before Americans wake up? Whatever we are, we are not Israel’s Muscle! And why are we listening to what Estrich has to say, Estrich who never won a Presidential election, while ignoring Carter, who DID win a Presidential election?
And why are we continuing to spin our wheels around Israel? Is the reason the seemingly obvious one? That Israel is right next door to where the oil is?
