Obamanation

I'm a little late on this quote. Barack Obama:

"I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."

Oh Barry, Heal me!

Unwelcome

Barack Obama was met with at least one upset native when he visited the Western Wall. What I find more interesting are Jake Tapper's commenters on his blog. They are outrageous, funny and a little further right than I'm used to. I'm used to The Atlantic's commenters who, while very thoughtful, are usually a left of center crowd. ABC's don't seem quite as well spoken though.

One thing; was Obama actually expecting himself to be met with "more reverence"? That seems a little heavy handed, and I am officially on gaffe alert for the rest of his trip overseas.
