Expectations were lowered from “throwing Israel under the bus and supporting Islamists” to “mostly throwing Israel under the bus and supporting most Islamits”
(Fox News) As President Obama heads to the Middle East this week, including his first visit to Israel since becoming commander in chief, the White House is downplaying expectations, saying the president hopes only to help leaders come together to bring peace and democracy to the region.
Will Obama leave the drones at home?
The White House’s apparent strategy is to lower expectations to create breathing room for frank peace talks between both sides that hopefully will include discussions about what it will take to get back to the negotiating table.
Yet, the administration is still whining about Israel expanding settlements. Obama has never moved off his 1967 borders talk. Me, I’m expecting a big gaffe from O on this trip, which the media will dutifully excuse and cover up.
