November 13th, 2008 10:45pmMaybe somebody remembered Marshall Aid and suggested "Barrack-aid" but was over-ruled because it might give Wall Street and General Motors the wrong idea, or even remind other people of the French Revolution?

Yes. But nothing we haven't already worked out.

Not at all.
It was sponsored by Bill Ayers' living room, which is where Barack Obama launched his political career.

November 21st, 2008 12:09pmObama is a fresh hope for Israel.
I hope he will overcome the roadblocks to peace thrown up within Israel with the same determination he uses to counter those that come from without.

December 5th, 2008 1:53pmRuth, what "roadblocks to peace, thrown up in Israel" are you talking about?
The only roadblock to peace is that the world is patently ignoring who owns the West bank. It belongs to Israel and always has! I am curious to see how Obambi will interpret history, because if he goes against Israel, both he and the USA will go down the tubes, just as every nation from the beginning of time has fallen by the way when they have turned on her.
