Give Obama credit, he's absolutely right. I can only imagine the outrage here at FR if he was kibbitzing Bush at this point.
You are right in more ways than you realize. If 0bama had a similar position on Israel their sharing of information, comments, united front kind of stuff would be fine.
The reality though is 0bama’s position on Israel is diametrically different than anything we’ve ever seen. Democrat or Republican.
Now that Obama has become a leading Presidential candidate, he has assembled a body of foreign policy advisers who signal that a President Obama would likely have an approach towards Israel radically at odds with those of previous Presidents (both Republican and Democrat). A group of experts collected by the Israeli liberal newspaper Haaretz deemed him to be the candidate likely to be least supportive of Israel.

Yes he is right and thank God he knows it.
That was my reaction also. He'll have plenty of time to prove/disprove his abilities after Jan. 20. In that regard, methinks we are in for a world of hurt.
