BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - Barack Obama is promising an "unshakable commitment" to Israel if he is elected president. The Illinois senator also says he hopes his presidency would help improve strained relations between American black and Jewish communities.

The Illinois senator was speaking a town hall meeting at a synagogue in Florida on Thursday.

Democratic presidential candidates didn't campaign in Florida during the primary, but Obama is focusing on the state now that he's close to wrapping up the nomination.

Some Jewish voters are turned off by his willingness to negotiate with countries like Iran and Syria. Others reject Obama because of e-mails spreading false rumors about him.

Obama stresses that he wouldn't negotiate with the militant Palestinian group Hamas.

This is only right, since the Os promise unshakable support for him.

"This is only right, since the Os promise unshakable support for him."

I don't like this posture, but I understand it. Barack Obama, or anyone else who realistically seeks to be POTUS has to deal with the political land mines that come with the territory.

You hate that, I hate that, but it is a fact of life currently that Obama's lack of support for the proxy war in Iraq the neocons started to advance policy goals of the Israelis and them scares the piss out of Israeli firsters.

I am not going to condemn him for navigating through these explosive waters, but I will be one of many people putting the pressure on to back away from Israel when he becomes president. Just as many Zionists will never back him as they see the same thing I do; someone who would be willing to re-evaluate and change our toxic relationship with the Jewish state in the Middle East.

That scares the piss out of them.

There is a lot of necessary probing to be done of Mr Obama's foreign policy positions. His inexperience is a legitimate cause for concern. The primaries have shown he can stumble. But overall he has grasped the ineluctable, if uncomfortable, insight that to secure its interests the US will henceforth need allies and legitimacy.

When Mr McCain looks out at the world, his gaze alights instinctively on his country's enemies. But the same world is replete with allies, actual and potential. Mr Obama cannot afford to ignore the enemies, but he is right to think as much about how to mobilise America's friends.

Mr Obama describes the world as it is; Mr McCain as it seemed to be during that fleeting unipolar moment. America's voters will decide in November through which of these lenses they prefer to look.

Op ed in today's Financial Times.

Obama not only sees the world foreign policy as it is, he also sees the world of U.S. electoral politics as it is.

John Kennedy ran for the presidency in 1960 as a Cold War hard-liner.

"John Kennedy ran for the presidency in 1960 as a Cold War hard-liner."

And it angered and enraged the neocons of his day who tried to start a Bush style policy driven war in Cuba with the Bay of Pigs Invasion that Kennedy foiled it by refusing air support for it, and other measures that would of sucked us into a war there like gasoline being siphoned from a gas tanks to a gas can.

Election year rhetoric is what it is, and anyone knowing the process of electing presidents can filter much of it out. I see in Barack Obama a very smart and talented man with a fire in his belly.

Someone who has what it takes to defy the will of shadowy people who have us on the brink of disaster as a nation.

I support Barack Obama because I have faith in our nation and it's Constitution and have seen it defy the odds and pull us back from disaster before. I see Obama as someone who won't be pushed around by those seeking to maintain the status quo.

We sure need that to be the case at this time in our history. Which is why I would just love to see Ron Paul get the Republican nomination. He is the best choice for a man who will defy powerful and ruthless people.

I am basing support more this year on the quality of the human being that is the candidate and their potential to change things. Many feel the same way, and this is why Barack Obama has an excellent chance at the White House this year.

Talk about the power of self-deception. If there was even a grain truth to what you believe, do you think that Obama would have been the mass media golden boy for all of these years? Do you really think that he'd have the support of both the MSM and the corrupt DNC?

If Obama wasn't a tool of the right people in places of power, he probably would never have bven become a Senator. He'd be ignored by the media just like Dr. Paul has been.

You quantify people as wholly predictable entities incapable of biting the hand that feeds them. I don't.

I am hoping Obama walks the walk, and in fact has confidence this will prove to be the case of this man who definitely talks the talk well.

We shall see who is smarter, the naysayers or the inspired, as I see him as unstoppable from achieving entry into this high office this year.

Well, you can wish in one hand and s**t in the other and then see which one fills up first.

Things must be looking pretty good there in "Blue Pill" land.

"Things must be looking pretty good there in "Blue Pill" land."

The Matrix, 'blue pill/red pill' analogy is always great, but however, using it in so cliché a manner is 'blue pill' in and of itself.

I don't like the gamble aspect of politics, and I agree that the power elite hates it so much they indeed do stack the odds in their favor.

Perhaps Obama is 'the one, and a 'Neo'-like persona -- to borrow another Matrix concept -- or isn't. Or maybe he will turn out to be a mixture of Neo and something else not quite so heroic and inspiring. I am not blind as to the pratfalls of politics as you so amusingly suggest.

You see, I know all about the aspect of the gamble inherent to how things work in politics just like you do.

But thanks for sharing this thought anyway.
