Where is he in the Bible and of what story would he be the "focal point"? Seems to me she is for the Jewish nation whereas Obama is flagrant with his Muslim ties and disregard or respect for Israel, it's people or their fight...let alone Americans struggles. Yes we should compare history to present for the bible does state there is nothing new under the sun...seems to me the Jewish people have seem Obama before but he lived in Germany.

Is there really much difference between Fundamentalists who interpret Tanakh literally and Leil, who swallows literally the media's bias against strong critics of the media? If you're up-to-date with her commentary, Palin has become refreshingly brilliant in her decoding of the resentment directed toward her.

Lest you have not been watching, she is no longer the ignorant ingenue of the campaign, but has blossomed into a reasonably (for a politician) well informed commentator. We Jews need all the help we can get, (though I will acknowledge that we dont necessarily want to trust anyone), and Palin may offer us much assistance re Israel, not to mention the war against global jihad which should be a concern of all Jews.

Oh, well, perhaps you just have been watching too much Mel Gibson to understand. Shabbat shalom, and a speedy recovery to good health.
