Why?...Why is the first speech given by Obama is to AIPAC?

The incredible power this lobbyist organization has on our leaders.

How?.. Is it all about money?...WTF is going on?

Why did he not go to the unions who supported him, or speak generally
to the American people. Why do these people have such sway over our
govt?

Somethings not right.

3. Scheduled long time ago

This was not a last minute thing.

Sometimes it is just a coincidence

6. They timed it for the day after the primaries

Quite unfortunate.

Do you think Obama wakes up in the morning and decides what he's doing that day? Everything is planned FAR in advance.

10. Yes...but it was planned for the day after the end of the primary.

That was not by accident.

11. I don't think that when the primaries started out, anyone had any idea

that it would drag out all the way to the end. Usually, it's virtually over long, long before this and we have a presumptive. I don't read too much into the timing.
