Advice to Obama.


With rock star status Obama's Irish visit was for him a much needed boost after the humiliating drubbing he received from Netanyahu in his own office.
Though he had to leave early due to volcanic ash heading over from Iceland he did have a pint of the black stuff before heading over to London.
He must have needed that as he back peddled in front of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee as he attempted to alleviate their concerns by saying that the the final Israeli Palestinian borders would differ from the 1967 lines because of " mutually agreed swaps" he had advocated.
He would be better served to try for the forty odd million American Irish votes as AIPAC are out to crucify him.
With nothing of great substance expected to arise from his European tour Obama will use this trip as a photo opportunity and try to deflect the critics over his handling of the obnoxious Israeli premier who is rapidly proving a burden to America, Israel and peace itself.
Let us hope fiscal realities will also play a part in getting the process moving. 
Enjoy Europe Mr President, don't gloat over the  extrajudicial killing of Bin Laden with the drubbing Netanyahu gave you and your hypocritical approach to the various aspects of the Arab desire for dignity and self determination you need to maintain a gravitas that has recently been lacking and with all their faults Europe respects the law.
