"Obama defended Israel's assault on Lebanon as an exercise of its 'legitimate right to defend itself.'" Now that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) - one of the main engines for America's support of Israel - is opening its annual policy conference today in Washington with such keynote speakers as Dick Cheney, Nancy Pelosi, the house speaker and Tzipi Livni, Israel's foreign minister, it's clear Palestine needs no further enemies, but, bejaysus, out steps Barack Obaba from his sheeps clothing to renege on his previous near pristine support for Palestine. From L to R : Michelle and Barack Obama, Edward and Mariam Said at a May 1998 Arab community event in Chicago at which Edward Said gave the keynote speech In a Electronic Intifada report, Ali Abunimah, who ; "Over the years since I first saw Obama speak I met him about half a dozen times, often at Palestinian and Arab-American community events in Chicago including a May 1998 community fundraiser at which Edward Said was the keynote speaker. In 2000, when Obama unsuccessfully ran for Congress I heard him speak at a campaign fundraiser hosted by a University of Chicago professor. On that occasion and others Obama was forthright in his criticism of US policy and his call for an even-handed approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict". |

Yeah I've heard some good things about Barack Obama. I heard he had an Iraq de-escalation act. Even people who supported the Iraq war when it began, would probably now agree that it resulted badly, with civil unrest and violence still occurring in Iraq: so probably Obama's policy is favourable, there. I heard he also wanted to improve the schools, and increase literacy rates, and all of that. I guess I'll have to read what some of his detractors have to say, to learn the negative side. I'm trying to decide whom it would be best to vote for!
Cibé faoin vóta Iúdach, cad faoin vóta "Éireannach"?
Seo giota ó Guardian Shasana inniu:
Time was when no US presidential candidate could hope for election without discovering some Irish ancestry, and now the Democrats' Barack Obama - hitherto chiefly notable for being born in Hawaii to a Kenyan father and a mother from Kansas - has also found his roots in the Emerald Isle, fortuitously just in time for St Patrick's Day. It turns out, according to the genealogical website ancestry.co.uk, that his third great-grandfather, Falmouth Kearney, sailed for New York at the age of 19 in 1850 to escape the potato famine.
Isn't politics awful. You have to talk with both sides.
Generally you end up siding with the folks who are most persuasive.
What are BO's chances if he goes on about his ancestry being:
Irish (with Jewish support / being the good ole democraaatic party)
or
Kenyan?
