Will wonders never cease? Sen. Barack Obama flew all the way to the Middle East at taxpayer expense to report back to the American public and the world from Amman, Jordan, the most spectacular thing.
As I watched his news conference today, he stood at the podium with his "bipartisan team" of two senators at his side and a ready, attentive press, and he announced that "Israel is a strong friend of Israel." (sic) And, since Obama did not stop to correct himself or show any signs on his face of having made a gaffe in front of the whole world and neither did any of those prestigious members of the national and international press members, I thought I had a problem with my ears. Then somewhere in all of his rote message, I almost missed when he said the name, "Palestine." But, please don't ask me what he said about that. I was still watching and questioning my ears and wondering why nobody had stopped him when he started out the way he did.
Well, it is now late afternoon and I still haven't heard any reports about it on the news. Maybe they're all waiting for late night news show hosts for confirmation (?)
Why do I bother watching the MSM? Would you believe its for moments like these? Obama was so busy being sarcastic with the news people who were there to interview him that he forgot he was trying to impress the world with him trying to be the commander in chief.
uh YEAH! Even if people tell him his faults, he'd turn around and tell them they "weren't listening." Oh and by the way, anybody else notice we haven't heard the name of his wife mentioned or seen her lately? I sure hope she isn't having the White House windows measured for new curtains. Can anybody say Sen. Nancy Pelosi?
