Obama Goes to AIPAC

Posted: 6/4/08 at 2:50pm

Maybe now my Aunt Gladys will stop sending me those emails.

Obama Goes to AIPAC

"Before I begin, I want to say that I know some provocative emails have been circulating throughout Jewish communities across the country. A few of you may have gotten them. They’re filled with tall tales and dire warnings about a certain candidate for President. And all I want to say is – let me know if you see this guy named Barack Obama, because he sounds pretty frightening," Obama said, although his attempted joke didn't get a very big laugh from the crowd.

"But if anyone has been confused by these emails, I want you to know that today I’ll be speaking from my heart, and as a true friend of Israel. And I know that when I visit with AIPAC, I am among friends. Good friends. Friends who share my strong commitment to make sure that the bond between the United States and Israel is unbreakable today, tomorrow, and forever."
Obama: Don't believe e-mail rumors, 'I am a friend of Israel'

Then Hillary spoke and gave her b'rucha to Obama:

"I know Senator Obama understands what is at stake here. It has been an honor to contest primaries with him. It is an honor to call him my friend. And let me be very clear: I know that Senator Obama will be a good friend to Israel."

unfortunately the are are reports that a bammy foreign policy advisor is in tehran right now assuring imadinnerjacket that bammy's just "saying what he has to to get elected" and that nothing has changed in his policy towards those who wish to see israel wiped off the face of the earth, i.e. he agrees.

My favorite part of Obama's speech to the AIPAC:

"I was interested to see Senator McCain propose divestment as a source of leverage – not the bigoted divestment that has sought to punish Israeli scientists and academics, but divestment targeted at the Iranian regime. It’s a good concept, but not a new one. I introduced legislation over a year ago that would encourage states and the private sector to divest from companies that do business in Iran. This bill has bipartisan support, but for reasons that I’ll let him explain, Senator McCain never signed on. Meanwhile, an anonymous Senator is blocking the bill. It is time to pass this into law so that we can tighten the squeeze on the Iranian regime. We should also pursue other unilateral sanctions that target Iranian banks and assets."

I'm glad there are Americans around still who are capable of connecting the dots. McLobbyist can't bask in old glory forever, no geriatric bashing intended.

An Obama win might not be, ultimately, good for the country, but it would piss off papalovesmambo. That's reason enough to support Obama.
