Obama Not Very Popular In Israel
As we all brace ourselves for the orgy of adulation and worship that will be Obama’s international campaign trip (still trying to figure out why any American politician should be campaigning overseas) it’s worth noting that Obama isn’t adored in every nation he’ll be visiting.
In the past month, one poll found 36 percent of Israelis preferred McCain, versus 27 percent for Obama, while in another, 46 percent of respondents said a McCain presidency “would be better for Israel,” compared to 20 percent who said the same about Obama.
For what it’s worth.
I, personally, think the only opinions that matter about Obama’s qualifications for office are American opinions. That being said, unlike those of us here in America the Israelis have to actually live in the middle east. They live and breathe the war on terror daily, and if they don’t think Obama is the right man for the job…well, that tells us something doesn’t it?
