Somethings you support in spite of economics
Obama has a bus he throws inconvenient people under. His 20 year pastor. His grandmother. The SDL member he allied with as he started his political career. If you stand between this narcissist and his vision for his historic self, you will see the bus as well.
Over the last year, and especially over the last couple months, Israel has figured out it is meant for the bus.
Ultimately, Obama dumping Israel means war. Israel isn’t isolated Jews spread throughout Europe – it has weapons, a military, and – now – a political leadership recognizing what is happening and vowing to now go down without a fight. This week Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke from Israel as Obama sat around a table with 46 feckless countries ignoring Iran:
“Today, 65 years after the Holocaust, we must say in all honesty that what is most outrageous is the absence of outrage. The world gradually accepts Iran’s statements of destruction against Israel and we still do not see the necessary international determination to stop Iran from arming itself with nuclear weapons. But if we have learned anything from the lessons of the Holocaust, it is that we must not remain silent and be deterred in the face of evil.
Israel may have no oil. Israel may not lend us money. But I’ll stick with them no matter what the other amoral regimes in that region do. They’ve proved they are worth it.
My Israeli policy? Stick with them.
My middle eastern policy? Stick with Israel, and don’t piss us off – because I just may kill you and take your oil for free. Palestinians – you lost, shut up and deal with it.
Real politik for sure.

U.S. fatal bush crashes in 2008, 247.
U.S. injury bush crashes in 2008, 11,000.
Most dangerous bus, 15 passenger van.
Second most dangerous bus, a shuttle bus.
I’d be careful not to use any Obama furnished ride!

It’s only dangerous when full because the people raise the center of gravity, increasing the chances of a roll-over. Sit people in back along the centerline. You should be OK with six. Towing something helps too.

Towing only helps when pulling. When slowing the connection is unstable and its consequences outweigh any good from the added stability while pulling. Where’s that guy with training in ROPS?
