..like I said, Obama's function, and that of the Democrats, is to reaffirm the least objectionable parts of Republican policy and practice....by making us think he and they have "rolled back", the worst parts and brought us to some kind of "center"....when the center has been shifting to the Right for decades and never could have WITHOUT the active support of the Democrats.

There is nothing new in Obama's speech, except to make us all giddy with delight that "for the first time", when as Norman points out it isn't the first time at all...these platitudes have been expressed before, their function being to make it look like America is being reasonable and really honestly yearning for peace.

If over one trillion dollars in "aid" to Israel, through the bank accounts of American/Israeli profiteers, had NOT been doled out by our Treasury, one could accept more easily America's posture as an honest broker...but peace in the MidEast cuts off this generous pipeline....in this same speech Obama let slip that he has approved billions more in "aid" to a few Arab nations....that aid is once again corporate welfare with the noble cover of "peace"...when it is anything but. American businessmen need WAR in the Middle East and need it badly....you'd think that would be obvious by now.
