My Way News - Obama tells Israel he's committed to its security
AP reports: "From the solemnity of a Holocaust museum to a dusty village battered by Hamas rockets, Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama on Wednesday professed 'an unshakable commitment to the security' of Israel, whether the threat comes from terrorists, Iran or elsewhere."

Comment: I'm impressed with Obama's statements on keeping Jerusalem the capital of Israel and his characterization of the Iranian nuclear program as a threat to both Israel and the U.S. Of course, candidates say all kinds of things when they are running for office, things they never do once they get in power. Still, I can't help but think that the Palestinians are now less enthused about the Obama candidacy than they were before his visit, as he has come out strongly pro-Israel. I hope that is a reflection of his true feelings and not merely political posturing.
