The campaign, abroad: Obligingly, Obama does Israel
Current World News Comments (0)
A report about presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s whirlwind visit to Israel yesterday in the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth noted, somewhat breathlessly, that the senator from Illinois “landed at Ben-Gurion Airport” and stepped out of his campaign’s chartered jet “like a rock star, into a particularly emotional reception.” The news report added: “Israel’s political echelon has never been so excited to welcome an American senator. Everybody realizes that there is quite a good chance that this man will enter the White House in less than five months, and every decision that he takes will affect our lives.” (Cited by the Telegraph, U.K.)
