“I swear to you, I do not know this man!”
Dammit, I do not need this kind of gimme. I am perfectly capable of hammering the Democrats without… the active assistance of the Democratic party itself.

MAJOR Democratic donor Haim Saban breaks with Barack Obama.
I understand that the White House is now spending my tax money to fund a hack whose explicit job description is to troll important sites on the Internet – including RedState – in order to do instant push-back on various posts. I suggest that said hack cease doing that for a moment, and instead call somebody higher up the food chain right now and let them know that President Barack Obama has a problem.
One of the most important Democratic donors in the past two decades, whose generous contributions helped pay for the DNC headquarters in Washington, D.C., has indicated that he will not contribute to President Obama’s reelection campaign in 2012, because of the administration’s stance on Israel.

“President Obama has raised so much money and will raise so much money through the Internet, more than anybody before him. And he frankly doesn’t, I believe, need any of my donations,” said [Haim] Saban.

#rsrh Summing up @jimgeraghty ‘s summing up…
…of Dana Millbank’s article about his Israeli au pair*…
…You know, I can’t remember what I was going to say about Jim Geraghty’s post, past “Jim’s right.” Probably something along the lines of noting that President Obama’s Jerusalem gaffe was sufficiently egregious that it’s got the head of the DNC whining about how Republicans shouldn’t take advantage of it. Free hint, Debbie: if you don’t want to deal with the President making ignorant policy statements, then don’t let him make any. Or quit your job; because we of the VRWC are neither required nor inclined to show mercy to a political opponent simply because he’s a bit of a bumbler with no real feel for his position.

#rsrh Annnnnnd now it’s finally sunk in…
…for our stunningly brilliant President’s that pre-1967 borders in Israel means bringing back East Jerusalem.
The president, however, told the BBC that he wasn’t discussing Jerusalem, saying “our argument is let’s get started on a conversation about territory and about security, that doesn’t resolve all the issues, you still end up having the problem of Jerusalem and you still end up having the problem of refugees, but if we make progress on what two states would look like, and a reality sets in among the parties, that this is how it is going to end up, then it becomes easier for both sides to make difficult concessions to resolve those two other issues.”
Two things about this:
- To build on what I told Jake Tapper, this is like advocating that Germany be split back into East and West Germany and then look surprised when somebody brings up Berlin.
- Dear God, but even the summaries of what the President says are tedious.
