Noah Pollak (a friend) reviews the record and concludes:
When it comes to the Jewish state, Obama is defined by everything he is not in the case of every other country. Instead of detachment, confrontation. Instead of coolness, anger and outrage. Instead of temporizing and deliberation, swift, decisive action. Far from being a tempestuous president who does not spare Israel his wrath, the Obama we see is a man of great equanimity who only ever seems to descend into fury when it comes to one subject: Israel.
