Pinning Down Obama

Via the RCP Blog, The Politico:

It's a hard thing to pin down, Barack Obama's Jewish problem. But in the halls of the AIPAC Policy Conference yesterday, there was no denying that the members of the pro-Israel group -- largely Democrats, though they tilt right -- feel a real, if kind of inchoate, skepticism about the Illinois senator.

Now, an Iowa Democrat and AIPAC member, David Adelman, has written Obama a letter asking for clarification of Obama's remark to the Des Moines register that "nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people," a statement Adelman writes he found "deeply troubling."

No kidding. Along with pinko Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Obama was noticeably missing at the rally for Israel last summer in Chicago. (though not too many of us around here expected him to be there.)

In his recent speech to AIPAC in Chicago he ignored Hamas' terrorism.
