Once again, the US got a great boost from the POTUS there. Obama is proving to be a very effective leader for the US in foreign policy insofar as message delivery, popularity, rationale, effect, etc. He even got an honour no other POTUS ever received beforehand--a 'joint session of Parliament' speech in Westminster Hall--and he hit the ball out of the park with it.

Yet, if you watch the video of that speech, the British gave him the standing ovation at the end. They NEVER hoop-hollered him during his speech or otherwise acted as if the UK was his 'little bitch,' if you will. The UK is a powerful country in its own right with its own character, history, etc. To the British, they are allies and Obama is supposed to be the leader of an ally, not a proxy PM or leader to whom they grovel.

In no way whatsoever is what I'm saying anywhere meant to say that the Palestinians and their allies and supporters don't have to compromise or clean up much of their act. They absolutely do and form just as much of the problem. There's plenty of overreaching and wrongdoing by all sides here IMO. But it needs to get solved and not being part of the problem helps do that.

Yeah....no. Obama is not a leader is is simply pandering the people in his sphere that are against Israel....
