Obama is enjoying the sands of Hawaii preparing to take office in a couple of weeks. He has yet to comment on the escalating violence between Israel and Palestine.
Obama in Hawaii??
For a man who has held a press conference a day from the ‘Office of the President Elect’, Obama has been decidedly quiet over the last few days. A lot of people have sought him out for a statement on the Israel Gaza bombings. His people have responded stating, ‘there is only one President at a time’. They’ve pulled that out every time there’s been a sticky situation that needed dealing with since he’s been President-elect.
On the other hand, he has created an ‘Office of the President-Elect’ and stood behind a podium with a presidential-like seal in front of it and made all sorts of proclamations, statements, appointments and whatever other photo-opish presidential looking things he’s chosen to say and do. Apparently the whole ‘one President at a time’ thing applies in some situations and not in others. I suppose we’ll have to depend on The One to keep us informed as to which situation is which.
The thing is though … where will he hide on January 21st, 2009 and thereafter? His compound in Hawaii is very secluded and a long way from Washington. Maybe he’ll be able to rule ‘lead’ remotely from there.
The upside is that Hillary Clinton has enough testosterone for both of them. She’ll probably have to step up to the plate and deal with the Palestinians and back Israel in defending themselves. Its a sad day when Hillary is the upside of things.
BTW - check out the Denis Kucinich view of the world.

Hillary will be left to “deal with the Palestinians”??? The Palestinians do not need to be DEALT with- they need to be allowed to live! Hamas needs to be dealt with. Civilian men, women, and children are simply dying for NO reason. They are not being “dealt with” they are being MURDERED!!! Are you freakin’ nuts to think that anyone would sit back and wither away while Israel has cut off the water supply causing crops and animals to die, and cut off medical supplies- LONG BEFORE THE RECENT MORTARS WERE SENT BY HAMAS! The people there are poor, sick, starving, and dying at the hands of ISRAEL. NOT VISA VERSA! And when anyone strikes out or attempts to strike back, they are labled as so called terrorists and then “dealt with”, as you say. Disgusting! Israel defies UN sanctions, recommendations, and so forth, hides nuclear warfare, and uses inhumane tactics to kill any Arab they can get their hands on. Why do you personally support genocide? Are you a fan of in at large, or the simply when it means killing Arabs?

Obama has not been silent: he has openly stated that if someone were bombing his little girls, he’d do something to stop it, just like the Israelis (WTTE):

I hope your obviously brainwashed readers (who have the gall to pretend that Israel started these attacks, or is committing “genocide” or is the one “keeping” food & supplies from so-called Palestinians instead of actually sending them *in* as she has done all along, as well as pretending that non-binding resolutions created by Arab countries & slavishly agreed to by all the countries who need their oil actually mean *anything) read this & have a stroke!
