A man of promises



As Obama arrives in Ireland ahead of his visit to the United Kingdom we are all left trying to digest the hypocrisy and the mediocrity of his major Middle East Spring speech.
Having been publicly rebuked by Netanyahu in his own office  over the Palestine Israel issue the rhetorical orator then grovels and back pedals in his speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee the most powerful of Israel's voice in America.
Though he was politely applauded it is obvious that this is a President that is not either willing or able to do anything of substance whilst still in electioneering mode.
The losers are the children of Palestine and Israel, of Bahrain and of Syria and let us not forget the children of America who have to live with a squandered moral compass.
Alas we thought he was a man of promise only to discover he is a man of promises.
