Politician speak

Submitted by sara (United States), Jul 29, 2012 at 18:52

Whether it is a subtle nod to World Jews (i.e. American (voting) Jews) or not, it is simply par for the course in these politcians playbooks. Why are we reading in to these speeches anything more than stumping for elections?

I have become too cynical to believe that it means anything significant or speaks to any future reassurance for Israel or for Jews.
