[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She seems to be wanting to burn all bridges.  Her latest comments can't help her make her Democratic colleagues fond of her speaking out.

[quote]Rookie Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, fresh off igniting an intra-party uproar with comments widely viewed as anti-Semitic, took a swipe at former President Barack Obama, saying in an explosive interview the 44th president's message of "hope and change" was a "mirage" and blasting his administration's drone and border detention policies.

Omar, D-Minn., took aim at the president's famed slogan, while further criticizing the Democratic Party for “perpetuating the status quo,” in the interview with Politico.

“Recalling the ‘caging of kids’ at the U.S.-Mexico border and the ‘droning of countries around the world’ on Obama’s watch," Omar charged that Obama "operated within the same fundamentally broken framework as his Republican successor,” the piece reads.

Omar is then quoted as saying: “We can’t be only upset with Trump… His policies are bad, but many of the people who came before him also had really bad policies. They just were more polished than he was.

“And that’s not what we should be looking for anymore. We don’t want anybody to get away with murder because they are polished. We want to recognize the actual policies that are behind the pretty face and the smile.”[/quote]

The vast majority of Americans do not care about Israel and can not find it on a map. There is lobbying and money but not many people who base their vote on Israel. Remember when Bibi was campaigning against Obama? Bibi did everything he could and it had little to no impact on the election. Israel gets a few people really excite and the rest do not care. This is why it is a prefect issue to grind on. [/quote]

Did you even read Omar's comments about Obama?  It had nothing to do with Israel.  [/quote]
