HuffPost’s Daoud Kuttab gets it just right on Obama’s pandering to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
His AIPAC appearance, Florida electoral votes be damned, was a seminal opportunity to illustrated the “politics of change” in foreign affairs.
Instead, he never took the bat off his shoulders and struck out standing up, with the same old lines about a unified Jerusalem, etc. that every other politician kissing AIPAC’s ass repeats.
Well, get used to it, because, in reality, Obama is Just.Another.Politician.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
