HotList 07/23/08

July 23, 2008 by Procrustes

Obama arrived in Israel on July 22, 2008. Today, he “moved through a busy day of meetings” with Israeli and Palestinian officials, including Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu.

Samson Altman-Schevitz, the head of the Israel for Obama campaign, “moved to Israel two years ago from Chicago, where Obama’s wife, Michelle, was his adviser at the University of Chicago.”

Obama visits Israel and the Holocaust memorial. Right on cue, his uncle, Charles T. Paine, recalls “when his infantry division liberated Ohrdruf, a subcamp of the Nazis’ Buchenwald concentration camp.”

Little Green Footballs has Obama’s Israel Okey-Doke.

Obama’s Eurasian Magical Mystery Tour: “So it’s not campaigning at all. It’s just being presidential. Six months before his inauguration. Which, of course, you peasants will all be gracious enough to provide four months from now, though that’s kind of just a formality, isn’t it? Yes, he can.”—Patrick McIlheran, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

See Gateway Pundit about those “welcoming” protesters in Jerusalem and Obama’s meeting with Fatah’s Abbas.

James Lewis at American Thinker talks about Obama’s Premature Inauguration Syndrome and Donald Lambro at the Washington Times notes Obama’s Airs of Inevitability.

About last night’s Obama-Couric interview, see Uppity Woman’s No Kiss for You Katie! and Gateway Pundit’s Obama Tells Katie Couric the Surge Was a Bad Strategy and Obama Denies He Flip-Flopped on Jerusalem.

Both Ways Barack (Worse Than a Flip-Flopper) h/t Uppity Woman

One less thing for the Obamazoids to gloat about—Hillary Clinton’s debt is paid off?


ABC News’ Jake Tapper gave Sen. Obama a new nickname—Senator Bad-ass. See more about Obama’s Iraq “visit” at Gateway Pundit (here, here and here).

And the WaPo clobbers Obama: “Mr. Obama in Iraq. Did he really find support for his withdrawal plan?”

      What did Obama really say to Maliki?;

      Obama; We have a mutual friend, Ayham Alsammarae.

      Maliki; He is no longer my friend, Ayham was caught stealing $650 million dollars from the war effort and was convicted here in Iraq, only to escape to his mansion in Oak Brookk, Illinois, “Chicago style”.

      Obama; Yes, I heard about that, his family and friend Tony Rezko contacted my office to assist in his release but I don’t remember if my office helped him or not. I hope you don’t want the money back he has contributed much of it to my campaign through straw donations, along with his associates from Companion Security Tony Rezko and Dan Frawley.

      Maliki: Well it would be a nice “change” if when my people “flipped” a switch the lights came on, it would give them “hope”.

      Obama; Ya, but what’s $650 million I’ve raised that in a few short months, it’s chumps “change”.
