Don't worry about Obama not commenting on Gaza. I expect very clear statements when he is in office.

Just wait and see. He is an intelligent man. Lots of things we speculate about now will look very different two months from now.

2. He shouldn't comment at this time
Nothing he says until he gets in office can help the situation. Frankly I do not see how anyone can defend the actions of Hamas that reignited this debacle.

5. Frankly I do not see how anyone can defend the actions of Israel that consistently reignite this
debacle.

And for the US to finance Israel's war against the Palestinians is criminal. If they want to exterminate the Palestinians, we should not be paying for it.

8. Harry did not seem to echo that line
today. Considering he will be signing that check in the future. Boy are they haters in for a surprise.

3. Many are forced to wait until he is in office to see what policies he will push. Speculation now is
simple mental masturbation.

DU should create an agenda and prediction scorecard/poll. Give him two months, then see how correct/elated/disappointed we are.

4. And when it is not in line with the "majority" here
the shit will hit the fan. I cant wait to see the reality palette fall on the emotional bile spewing haters. Harry Reid laid out the approach this morning on MTP. Barack Obama made a speech from israel about the shelling of innocents from gaza.

I would bet that us policy will not make a change on this topic. Hopefully it WILL move towards a negotiated solution.

Work towards a solution with two states in peaceful existence it the goal. If hamas will not accept that, they will be wiped out. By fatah, the IDF, or by Egyptians.

We will not be giving hamas jack shit, bet on it.

7. ask Harry, I wonder if Barack talks to him
or if he is off the reservation? Guess Arafat should have taken oslo. That team is coming back into power, watch and learn.
