As Iran comes into focus again, it may be time to revisit the Zionist lobby’s role in US Foreign policy. Check out this video from DemocracyNow.org…

I don’t know… this latest Obama pick doesn’t give me the same warm and fuzzy feeling I usually get with my President. If anything, this has huge potential to mess up a timely opportunity for change in the world.

I once heard of a patient at my hospital telling his surgeon (a friend of mine) that Obama was a “post turtle”. When asked what a post turtle was, the man responded… “I don’t know. A turtle on a post. You gotta wonder, how did he get there? Someone had to put ‘im there. And then you wonder… how’s he gonna get down?” If someone really did put him on that post, then that same someone is probably pulling the strings on these appointments.
