Israel of 2009 is a spoiled country, arrogant and condescending, convinced that it deserves everything and that it has the power to make a fool of America and the world. The United States has engendered this situation, which endangers the entire Mideast and Israel itself.

Obama was elected because a majority of Americans fear that we’re becoming a declining great power. Everything from our schools to our energy and transportation systems are falling apart and in need of reinvention. And what people want most from Washington today is nation-building at home.

The local Republican candidate, forced out of NY-23 race by the national GOP's right wing, asks her supporters to vote for the local Democratic candidate.
