I call upon all the Arabs in the US who had urged me back in 2008 to vote for Obama and who so naively projected all their hopes and dreams unto the man to read the full text of Obama's speech in Jerusalem. It would have been drafted by Meir Kahane or Abraham Foxman. It should be a required reading to put to rest the silly expectations that people may still have of this man. Rashid Khalidi (who knew Obama back in Chicago) told me a few years ago: that people don't get that the man is a politician through and through and that he never ever uttered a word in all those years that could have damaged his political career.
