Foreigners Get It
P. Schultz

This requires little comment from me.
Even the Palestinians get our politics better than we do.
“American Jews like to split hairs over
which candidate is more pro-Israel or who better represents their interests: Is
Mr. Obama’s facial expression lacking? Is that omitted adjective by Mr. Romney
significant? But ask 9 out of 10 Palestinians and you will get an identical
response: “There is no difference between Obama and Romney.”
And a little more from the Washington Post:
"There are still almost 80,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and each month brings a few dozen home in coffins — more than 2,000 since 2001. Hundreds more arrive on medical evacuation flights, many of them without a limb. The war will cost taxpayers more than $100 billion this year. The Taliban, which enjoys sanctuary in nuclear-armed Pakistan, continues to conduct devastating attacks on the Afghan government and the civilian population.
"But you wouldn’t know any of it from listening to President Obama and Mitt Romney on the campaign trail. They may not agree on much, but when it comes to the decade-old conflict, they have adopted the same strategy on the stump: Say as little as possible — sometimes not a word — and quickly change the subject."
Oh, I know. Let us talk about gay and lesbian marriage and Chick Fil-A!!
