re: #2 Gus

George W. Bush didn’t visit Israel until the 7th year of his office in 2007. Much like a Obama, he did visit prior to becoming president which was in the year 1998. Ronald Reagan never set foot in Israel his entire life.

So what? When did it become ok to do what George W. Bush did?

I mean if that is the standard, then Obama should stop beating up Republicans for the “same failed policies”.

There ARE very measurable differences between how the US is perceived in the region now and when GWB (or even Ronald Reagan) were President. Measurable with regards to both President Obama’s words and actions.

Now you and MediaMatters can try and make this seem like a big conspiracy and make it seem like the President is doing nothing to deserve any criticism on this matter, BUT I don’t think that is working.

MediaMatters has been criticised for being unfairly biased against Israel in the past. So I don’t expect a really unbiased opinion from them now.
