In Barack we trust?

Obama campaigned on his personality and judgment and won. Now, like it or not, he isn't beholden to anyone.

    Obama Needs to Stand up to the Israel Lobby

    The Lobby has controlled US foreign policy bringing about the disastrous consequences we have lived through over the past few years (http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.html).

    Obama needs to shake off the Lobby's control if there is to be any hope in a real change in America's relationship with the rest of the world. Unfortunately the likely appointment of "Mr. Lobby" Dennis Ross to be in charge of Israel/Palestine and the appointment of Rahm Emmanuel as chief of staff don't bode well for the future.
