Can You Help Me Out?

A Guest Post By E. Fink

I am no expert on politics. I'm more of an observer.

This morning, I observed the WSJ op-ed that DovBear posted. I saw it on several of my more right wing leaning Facebook friends' walls. They loved the op-ed. It got me thinking about something. Perhaps one of the enlightened readers of this blog can help me out.

Has the President's alleged misdeeds towards Israel actually hurt Israel? Let's not quibble about whether the President has actually done anything negative towards Israel. I have to really try hard to see that too. But let's assume he HAS done bad things to Israel. Have they actually had an effect on anything?

Here is the question: For all the complaining about Obama's policies toward Israel and his obvious anti-Semitism that is causing Democrats for life to rebel against Mr. President where is the negative effect? Aren't things pretty much the same they were in 2005? 2001? 1993? 1985?

It sure seems that way to me.

So if nothing has changed, what is the big deal?
