THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY: Out of America: Healthcare reform, standing up to Israel, and a nuclear treaty have transformed his presidency
What a week it has been. Congress passed the most far-reaching social legislation in four decades. The US and Russia agreed the most important arms control agreement since the end of the Cold War. And an American president, his patience exhausted with Israel's procrastination over what some still describe as "the Middle East peace process", dared send off a visiting Israeli prime minister with a flea in his ear. In short, it was the week that made Barack Obama*. >>> Rupert Cornwell | Sunday, March 28, 2010
* What a load of socialist, anti-Israeli BS you talk, Mr Cornwell! Healthcare reform was passsed against the wishes of the majority of Americans, Barack Hussein Obama showed himself up to be the petulant, rude, tantrum-prone greenhorn he is, and a nuclear treaty has been agreed upon at a time when we know not what is going to happen with al-Qaeda, to say nothing of Iran. Only time will tell how “great” this week has been, Mr Cornwell. The week may well prove to be Obama’s undoing! – © Mark
