Buried within Joe Klein’s new Time profile (great first line, by the way) of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton:

The Israelis have been difficult, as always: whenever [Special Envoy George] Mitchell raises East Jerusalem in talks with the Israeli Foreign Minister, the Israeli stands up and walks out of the room.

Is there any cost to doing that?

However many billions it costs us annually and total cover at the U.N. Oh wait, you meant…

The first meeting with President Obama and the Israeli's Prime Minister didn't get off to a good start. After the meeting and after Obama told him what was acceptable and what wasn't acceptable–and you do this or———-the United States will DERAIL AN AGREEMENT made 40 YEARS AGO!

Now with Hillary jumping on the band wagon and speaking firmly to Israel, NO WONDER THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME CONFUSION!

Hillary was their friend at one time! But behind the smile on her face—she turned on the nation!

When Obama is being accused of being another BUSH—WELL IT COULD BE SAID—BOTH PRESIDENTS WANTED TO MEDDLE IN THE AFFAIRS OF OTHER COUNTRIES AND WANTING CERTAIN LEADERS IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES!

Honduras TOOK AMERICA OFF GUARD! Their plans were to work with zelaya! They also liked the idea of re-writing the Constitution of Honduras so when Obama wants to expand his years past 8—he could do so!

Am I against Obama–no! I am against his approach about meddling in other countries leaders–trying to remove and to place—whatever happened to staying in America—taking care of America–and the people of America!
