A Sore Point

Barack Obama used the description of Israel as a "constant sore" in an interview with the Atlantic Monthly:

JG: Do you think that Israel is a drag on America’s reputation overseas?

BO: No, no, no. But what I think is that this constant wound, that this constant sore, does infect all of our foreign policy.

... within days of (his friend and fundraiser) Columbia University Professor Rashid Khalidi using a similar expression in an article in The Nation.

(Obama later tried to excuse his remarks, which is becoming a pattern.)

This is yet another indication of the radical ideals which influence Barack Obama's present thinking. He is an apologist for terrorists. And in the Atlantic interview, it's pretty sickening that he chooses to illustrate what a nice guy he is by pointing out some of his current political allies on the South Side of Chicago don't like his coziness with the Jews. He doesn't mention his pastor, the Rev. Wright. No, no, no!

Americans still have much to learn about Obama, and this is bound to be a sore point. Already some Americans understand the danger of his worldview.

UPDATE: Karl Rove, WSJ:

Mr. Obama's problem is a campaign that's personality-driven rather than idea-driven. Thus incidents calling into question his persona and character can have especially devastating consequences.
