HaAretz Buries Obama


HaAretz paper, tht last bastion of Israeli left-wing extremism, has taken a position against Obama. The corespondent Gideon Levy writes: "Obama's America is not delivering the goods".
With great sorrow and deep consternation, we hereby declare the death of the latest hope. Perhaps rumors of its death are greatly exaggerated, to paraphrase the famous quote by Mark Twain, but the fears are being validated day after day. Barack Obama's America is not delivering the goods. Sharing a glass of beer with a racist cop and a pat on the back of Hugo Chavez are not what we hoped for.
If HaAretz is against Obama, who is for him? I cant see no one in Israel.

The cop is not a racist; if you think he is, or think he acted in any way inappropriately, then you have entirely misunderstood the circumstances. Also you will not be able to appreciate what a serious blunder Obama made (in accusing the police of having acted stupidly), and why he (Obama) is increasingly in trouble with the white electorate.

I think you need to reread the post, Anon. He was quoting the paper.

Thank you. I am quoting a leftwing extremist fishwrap called HaAretz. I dont think that the cop was racist at all. In other countries, a man insulting the mother of a police officer on duty could spend a week in jail just to check his identity, if he was lucky.

I apologize, J. It was unclear to me if that was part of the quote, or your added comments, and concluded it was the latter. My comments apply then to the journalist.
