I find it disturbing that people place all their naive hopes for re-shaping all national policies, from foreign to domestic, on one man. Has the last 8 years effectively demolished any expectation of accountability and responsibility for the other 2 branchs? Shouldn't everyone's own Congressperson and Senator be similarly pressured?
It also seems pretty weird to compare liberal pressures on Obama and the Israeli lobby on Congress. Nevertheless, the near-unanimous pro-Israel chorus in Congress really demonstrates who is really running the show, and how thoroughly, in this country. So observers may want to reconsider the where the real, not apparent, power resides.
