Their view of the world was different, their view of israel and the place in the world was different, and it did not mean that president obama did not feel that it was not in israels interest to be isolated. In fact, they would say that , but he also saw a benefit and being prepared to establish some distance when he felt there were real disagreements. You work so closely with both.

Right or the privilege or the ability to ask for an extension and a raising of our debt when, in fact, we havent acted responsibly with our spending . Nobody else in the country gets their credit raised when you havent acted responsibly. They actually check your credit score. They know what kind of bills youre paying, whether youre getting further behind. So should we in fact tear up the credit card. Should we force some good old adult supervision on congress, to where well actually be forced to...
