13-03-20 Obama in Israel - a media celebration

Non-stop nonsense on all channels.

Some people here would be delighted to know that media in Israel finally determined that Obama was a "classic liberal democrat". [to me he is a banksters' puppet and a shame to any legitimate political persuasion]

The weather here is summer by now, but all military high command showed up in ridiculous winter uniform (which look more like US military suits), instead of the short-sleeves summer uniform, for the outdoor group photo with Obama and the dubious performance Iron Dome missiles.

Media here blasts the corrupt local politicians much more freely than US media.  However, on some other issues, specifically banking, they are suspiciously silent. (but then again, some are owned by the same tycoons that own the banks).

The Israeli public has no clue about the depth of the socio-economic crisis in the United States.

And of the bank robbery in Cyprus (which is for Israelis like Cabo San Lucas for Angelenos) I heard first in Israeli media in a sports program.  An Israeli soccer coach, who works in Cyprus, described the run on the ATM (he was #75 in line, and the next morning the ATM's dried up...)
