Obama-mania

Good on him — pissed off an AIPAC audience by noting that Palestians are suffering a lot under occupation. Gutsy. And, obviously, true. I was trying to think of the last time someone said something similar to a similar audience, but what I came up with was . . . Paul Wolfowitz, which isn’t the most flattering comparison.

UPDATE: Absurdly, meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi seems to have gotten booed for . . . observing that the Iraq War has failed. You would think pro-Israel advocates would be willing to recognize basic accurate facts about events in the region.
