When I worked there, most of the people I worked with were quite liberal, and never really seemed to understand the connection between energy policy and their jobs. I wonder if they're getting the point now? I know this is a little off-subject, but I had to share it....Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903448394061019454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-16475914656088929802009-07-27T05:34:50.268-07:002009-07-27T05:34:50.268-07:00Rich, when you've been a book reviewer for som...Rich, when you've been a book reviewer for some fifty years, a really well written one does get your attention, but I personally wandered outside my zone of comfort when writing about Israel.

Yes, Obama does make Clinton look like an amateur, doesn't he! <br /><br />As much as I disliked Clinton, there was one thing about him I can find to praise. When Arafat said the Temple Mount in Jerusalem wasn't ever the site of said Temple, Clinton was non-plused. Throughout all recorded history, everyone has known that, and even an inveterate, uh, stretcher of the truth like Clinton found that a lie far too big to swallow. Not so Obama, about whom I have absolutely nothing positive to say. And the more I learn about him, the worse it gets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-35424631417878954982009-07-26T09:44:40.534-07:002009-07-26T09:44:40.534-07:00I see you've removed the article on Jerusalem ...I see you've removed the article on Jerusalem just as I was about to comment on it.
