Just trying to get some credit for my coinage of yesteryear. Here's Reuters trying to read the tea leaves on the mind of the Sphinx in chief. Give up now. You'll never know what he thinks on something, till he actually decides to spend political capital on it. Which will soon include Israel/Palestine.
A small group of placard-waving pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered near U.S. President-elect Barack Obama's vacation retreat in Hawaii on Tuesday to protest against the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza.
Obama has made no public comment on the strikes, which Israel
launched on Saturday. Aides have repeatedly said he is monitoring the
situation…
Some critics, however, say Obama did choose to speak out after the
attacks on the Indian city of Mumbai in November in which gunmen killed
nearly 180 people, condemning them as acts of terrorism.
