Blaming The Israel Lobby...

There's no latent anti-Israel agenda in the Obama administration, it's pretty above board. They tried putting in Charles W. Freeman Jr., who has lots of foreign ties, especially Arab in a a top intelligence post, and now they're blaming Israel for his having to give it up.

Representative Steve Israel, a New York Democrat, also called Mr. Emanuel about the pick, and pushed Mr. Blair’s inspector general to examine possible conflicts of interest surrounding Mr. Freeman’s relationships with the Chinese and Saudi governments.

Any minimally objective investigation would show him too connected to foreign countries, including China, Iran and Saudi Arabia, to hold any sensitive security position.

If that's mainstream America for Obama, I'd say that the United States has changed, or a lot of voters didn't check the fine print.
