Not only has Obama kept silent but worse---he was silent while golfing.
Obama should have learned something from Bush who used to talk with reporters and then tell them to watch his tee shot.
For those who remember the powerful Special Comment given by Keith Olbermann on Bush golfing, Obama should know that golfing is the last thing an American who is going to be president of the United States should be caught doing while refusing to speak about atrocities unfolding which the U.S. happens to tacitly and explicitly support.
Exiled Hamas leader Khalid Mish’al has a comment posted on The Guardian and said:
Once again, Washington and Europe have opted to aid and abet the jailer, occupier and aggressor, and to condemn its victims. We hoped Barack Obama would break with George Bush's disastrous legacy but his start is not encouraging. While he swiftly moved to denounce the Mumbai attacks, he remains tongue-tied after 10 days of slaughter in Gaza. But my people are not alone. Millions of freedom-loving men and women stand by its struggle for justice and liberation - witness daily protests against Israeli aggression, not only in the Arab and Islamic region, but worldwide.
Obama’s success as president will depend on how many formalities, accepted truths, and traditions he has the fortitude to take on and transform. As of now, it does not look like Obama will be taking on any formalities like, oh, the Israeli Lobby in the U.S. or the state of Israel as president.
“Tongue-tied” is a kind word for it. Really, Obama is engaging in self-censorship like he did during the election and Americans should expect it to continue during his presidency.
