Obama: "I won't wait until the waning days of my presidency" re: Israel and Middle East peace

Great shot at President Bush. He's doing a pretty good job in his AIPAC speech connecting in my opinion.

1. He was against the IWR but he sounds like he will be for many other wars

in defense of Israel. What i am hearing is shocking. I expected to hear this from Hillary but not Obama. He is a master politician.

2. You are taking his speech out of context. He has clearly stated a two state solution

He has clearly stated to engage in a dialog with ALL parties in the region, including Iran, similar to the Baker/Hamilton plan

He is not calling for war

5. Bitter are we? The Hillary smackdown is almost complete.

Take your Obama hatred somewhere else.

7. McCain is fighting an uphill battle

This conference says it all. First, it's difficult to make this a partisan speech against the other nominee. However, Obama is able to attack Bush's failed policies and explain why he differs from them. Then later he'll link McCain and Bush. McCain just doesn't have someone to link Obama's policies too this strongly. Also, McCain's oratory skills pale in comparison to Obama's.

8. Personally

I'd rather the President be focused on problems here at home, rather than problems on the other side of the planet. It's not as if we don't have enough to deal with already.
