I wondered if he gets paid by the word or perhaps he thought he could slip in backstabbing Israel at the end and no one would notice because they would be bored to tears.<br />I am not convinced Clinton's plan would work however as long as Hamas is in the mix, and that was just his typical lip service- his reference to Hamas.<br />A big nothing would have been better than yesterday's speech and I don't believe Obama has the tenacity nor the passion to aide in the restoration of peace in the middle east.suenoreply@blogger.com
