Oh wait – this is the era of faithfully oblivious Obamamaniacs:

Obama’s silence on Israel’s Gaza massacre has already shown us that unwavering support for Israel is one campaign promise he will not break.

Oh wait – Obama was not silent on the slaughter: he LIED!
No foreign policy statements before taking office? Less than a week ago Obama met with Mexico’s president Calderon in Washington! Or is that the “change” that Obama brings – Mexico is no longer considered a foreign country?

He has not criticized Israel, much less accused Israel of terrorism.
