(The Washington Post) – First, they said that he was anti-Israel.
Then, some actually said that he was anti-Semitic.
Can we — pretty please — ease up on President Obama already?
I will freely admit it: In many ways, I have found Obama’s presidency to be a disappointment, especially in foreign policy. He was once considered a protege of theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, who believed in “Christian realism” in dealing with human evil. The president could use a refresher course in Niebuhr.
Also true — he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have not exactly been BFFs.
But, anti-Israel? Anti-Semitic?
