Can Obama’s poll numbers in Israel get any lower?

I would like to be able to blame Obama solely here, but the sad truth is that he is another in a long line of American Presidents who have held Israel under a different microscope than they hold the rest of the world. President Obama did not invent moral equivalence, he is simply its latest practitioner. If you remember Bush’s policy, Israel was the only nation not invited to defend themselves against terrorism. While I am not an Obama fan in even the slightest fashion, I still need to see reality for what it is. It may be a long while before we see an American President with the fortitude to stand up to the Saudi’s in what we would like to be the American tradition of showing a backbone.
