It is none of Obama's business if Israel wants to build on the land that it won in 1967. He is letting Jeremiah Wright's rants dictate US policy toward a staunch ally.

You can say Obama is not a socialist all you want, but a large and growing number of patriotic Americans believe otherwise. In politics, perception is reality and the perception is that Obama is a left wing ideologue. He has done nothing to refute that perception. The good news for you far left wingers, is that most Democrats no longer view socialism as a bad thing.

Yada. Yada. To be a federalist is not be a socialist, though finer distinctions may be hard for the either/or mindset. I would think the peace process in the Middle East hinges a bit on the settlement issue. Many voices, right and left, have voiced concern over Israel's often provocative actions in these issues, Jeremiah Wright notwithstanding. Barack Obama is not a socialist, though it is Right Wing Flirties desire that he be thought one because winning elections is the highest patriotism you know.
