POPSLetter to Obama Supporters Well, the Obama ascendancy may make the U.S. more popular in Europe—though our unpopularity there has been overstated. The most influential nations in Europe elected or re-elected Bush allies during his two terms in office, including Silvio Berlusconi in Italy, Tony Blair in Great Britain, Angela Merkel in Germany, and Nicolas Sarkozy in France. In other hemispheres, Canada elected Stephen Harper, and Australia (hats off please for one of our most stalwart allies) re-elected John Howard. Still, let’s concede that for many Europeans, George W. Bush’s style was off-putting. The Texas swagger that many of us (though not all to be sure) regard as an amusing regionalism, they found obnoxious.The same cannot be said for our enemies. It wasn’t a matter of Bush’s style, or his accent or his political party.

POPSGag me The reason they aren't writing jokes is summed up in what Stewart said, "So far, our take is that he is positioning himself to be on a coin". They are so in the tank for Obama. At least they are honest. What puzzles me is that they must know by now he doesn't have any new ideas. He doesn't have any friends that he won't throw under a bus. He, as it turns out, is just another politician who thinks he can get away with saying one thing to one audience, another to another and then deny he ever said or took any position. This guy is not even slick about it and in this day and age EVERYTHING is on video. But everyone is giving him a pass. And for what. SO that we can have Carter part II. JEesh!

POPSHamas and the former PRez I suspect that Carter just does not believe that Hamas could be all that bad. Oddly enough, he seems to think that Israel could be and is, that bad.

POPSCarter in the Mideast Carter was quoted as saying that Hamas would agree to a peace deal with the Israelies. Hamas quickly denied that to the press as soon as Carter had left. Anyone surprised?
