Obama Is Not Pathetic

Barack Obama's wife does not find him pathetic, although that is what she seems to have told Barbara Walters on the TV morning show The View. She told Walters that she did not want him to be president and found him to be "sweet and pathetic".

Spokesman for Obama said what she had actually said was that Obama was "sweet, empathetic".

We shall see, in the course of time, which epithet will best describe him. Some people feel that in his victory speech to the US-Israeli lobby group (AIPAC) in Washington he was neither sweet nor empathetic, at least not to the Palestinians.

Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat was unhappy with Obama. "His remarks on Jerusalem cast doubt over the chances of peace," Erakat said.
