Barak and the Jewish Lobby

Should senator Obama win the Democratic party's nod for the White House, one of many issues is making front page headlines...the accusations of his 'anti Semitism'. Already word has spread, he's a Muslim and was sworn into office laying his hand on the Koran. False. But, that hardly matters. The rumour mill is spinning at a record breaking speed. As a politician from Illinois, he has Arab and Muslim constituents; he goes to meetings or dinners of theirs; he says polite words that any elected public figure does; they come to him for help, he helps them, but in this he is no different that senator Joseph Lieberman. Nonetheless he is different. The vile Louis Farrakhan has called him 'the saviour of America' if not the world; his pastor the energetic Reverend Jeremaih Wright has close ties to the Black Muslim leader, and we are yet to hear of Wright's footsing with the likes of the new American pal but much before hated Mouamah Qaddafi...or his wanderings in nasty Sudan.
Obama is trying to court the American Jewish lobby which has a very thin skin, and is vindictive to the extreme. They've money and money counts in elections, and they use it in any which way they see fit. Although Obama has much support among American Jews, these supporters don't have the well oiled machinery to wage a kick him in the balls campaign against the junior senator from Illinois.
One of the rare times Obama chased for words in a televised debate was when he was asked about Louis Farrakhan and Jeremiah Wright. He better get his patter down tight to fight the scurrilous attack by the American Jewish Lobby who see him as an enemy and a champion of the Muslim cause. Which is absurd, yet reason is never a strong suit among Americans. They're well trained to believe where there is Hollywood like made smoke there has to be a real fire.
Obama seems stunned. Yet in this age of info true or false out in cyberspace, he should be so Candide like to believe that his personal life is private. It isn't. He's very much a public figure and in the end has to bear the hard knocks of public life.
No matter how much he is willing to sell his soul to the American Jewish lobby, he will remain suspect in his support of Israel, no matter what he say or what he does.
