The decision by Ehud Barak to retain his Cabinet seat, is couched in terms that would make it appear he is doing it for partiotic purposes.The peace process, the Dimona attack , the rockets in Sderot etc.This would be fine, if we somehow didn't know that he is afraid to face the voters,and is hoping to build up his image in the polling against Bibi.When he twice made his promise to resign after Winograd,conditions on the ground were the SAME!
There is little signs of PROFILES in COURAGE in ISRAEL.It's more likely, "I love my Volvo and driver."
========================================================================
It was interesting to read Mike Huckabee's op-ed in yesterdays Jerusalem Post, and to note that he has visited Israel nine times.HE IS A REAL FRIEND.
My thoughts are,that if McCain (as looks likely) wins the nomination ,he will need a real Conservative as V.P. nominee.I previously mentioned Newt.Huckabee and Gov. Charlie Crist of Fla, who traveled to N.J. yesterday with McCain would be good choices.

Note: Arab children in Gaza celebrating the suicide bomber attack in Dimona, by handing out candy to motorists .

Yesterday Sean Hannity on his program had Frank Luntz ,the pollster interviewing a group of Democratic voters.Sean had Luntz ask the group of about 25 people ," could you name a single Obama accomplishment? NOT A SINGLE RESPONSE!
So much for his record and past-its all star power-period=he is like a ROCK-STAR
plenty of music,prose, PR, but where is the BEEF?

We need not a ROCK-STAR PRESIDENT
I clearly remember the last Democratic National Convention where Senate candidate Barack Hussein Obama made a major address.I recall either before or after,Obama sitting with the cable Tv people,and they were touting him as a fresh "leader" who would be a force in future national elections. I'm sorry I don't recall the exact words, but I remember saying to myself, "He has not even won his contest, or served a day in the Senate and yet the left wing broadcasters are pushing this man."
As we look at the current contest, it is clear that Barack has rock-star appeal.He is young, light on his feet and photogenic. He occasionally borders on great oratory There is an element of poetry in his words.
Yet, it is clear, that we are not electing a poet laureate, or an intellect.Rather, there are serious issues that threaten us not only today, but for decades in the future.How we will respond to Islamic terror and fundamentalism will determine our future.Of course the economy is vital.However, the economy runs in cycles, and the power of America is such that we beat Germany and Japan and Communism because in the end we are an economic giant.There may be a credit cruch, or a recession of sorts, but we have been through them before,only to come out stronger than before.Yes health care is important,as is the future of Social Security and Medicare.However, if our country and our way of life is threatened here and abroad,all of that is
secondary.
Obama and the Democrats, have refused to recognize the true threats we are under.They have stalled the Intelligence Bill,tried to micro-manage the military,and used partisanship to the detriment of our country.They are in bed with the worst left wing elements of our body politic.As pointed out in the op-ed in todays WSJ by Gerstein, these are the people who tried unsuccessfully to beat Joe Lieberman.
If we want a made for TV rock-star President, my vote is for Obama.If we want someone who is truly prepared( no phoney baloney) from day 1 to be Commander-in-Chief , my vote is for John McCain.
And to those "conservative" commentators who persist in attacking McCain, or in saying they will stay home or vote for Hillary if he is nominated,then I say 2 things.
1-go out and meet a cross section of Republican supporters,who voted for Reagan, Bush I and II;
2-you are as dangerous to the Republican Party as Move-On.Org or the Kos is to the Dems.

Barak the liberal NEOPHYTE
A few thoughts before the Sabbath:
The announcement by the National Journal that Sen. Barak Obama is the most liberal Senate member in 2007 merely proves how left he has gone in this cycle.But not far behind is Hillary ( # 16) as they try to capture the left wing of the party.
The difference is, that Obama has always been a leftie, but Hillary has tried to be a centrist for 6-7 years on foreign affairs, but has had to bow to political realities.
The endorsement of Obama , by MOVE ON. ORG , may help him on Super Tues., but Americans know who they are.
The worst thing of yesterday,is Barak"s announcement that he would call a summit of Muslim Nations if elected.What does he think they will tell him? Have Israel withdraw,give up Jerusalem,etc, etc.
This is the height of naivet'ee.
Beware of a Barak Presidency!
