“The world is waiting for Barack Obama to speak his mind”

I’m not a fan of small talk.

“Nobody at home in Washington”, ran one US headline on the turmoil.

What a bunch of malarky.

Biden claimed 0bama and he both pushed for a NATO peace-keeping force after the U.S. forced the Hezzzzzzbollah out of Lebanon. Biden would be the last person I want talking to other countries.

Put yourself in the place of the Europeans looking on at this circus with no ringmaster, on the one side is the menagerie, the other fills slowly with familiar-faced clowns, the scantly-clad, makeup-laden part-time whores parading about with their bust boards held high to hide the effects of gravity, while in the back, at the rear of the tent, dark figures bustle wildly exposing glimpses of skin and teeth when their paths cross the light.

As the emotions rise and the unseen band plays on, the tigers sleep beneath the drugged elephants’ feet. The ropes hang limp from the pole in the center waiting for someone to stretch them one last time.

The babbling crews in all their disarray, spread fresh, new sawdust to cover the clay, everyone waiting for someone to say — “Let the Show Begin!”

“If Europe wants to phone America on the Gaza crisis, who does it call?”

This explains the timing of the Israeli action.

His handlers are Rahm Emanuel, David Axelreod, Dennis Ross, and Dan Kurtzer. Obama will sound very much like George Bush and Bill Clinton when it comes to the Middle East. There is not going to be a big change when it comes to support of Israel. Obama is not about to make a radical departure from our current bilateral relations with Israel. Count on it.

If they were half as strong militarily as they are economically, they wouldn’t have to worry so much what we are about to do or what our so-called “leaders” think about ABC or XYZ. But they want to spend all their money on social programs and let Uncle Sugar be the adult and protect them. Well, in most families, the kids don’t get a vote on major decisions.
