The newest complaint against Obama, evidently, is that he has never been to Israel. 
Seriously. For real. Obama has never been to Israel, and according to Mitt Romney, this is a very bad thing. A really bad thing, because, according to Romney, Israel is a great ally of America, and for Obama to have not yet visited it is absolutely horrible, disrespectful, mean, whatever....

Good heavens, is there no end to all this sniping, critizing, and attacking? Is there no nook and crannie we Americans won't explore in order to attack and destroy one another? And for what? Victory? Power? Ego?

Hell, no wonder we can't get anything done in this country. No wonder our problems lay festering and simmering like volcanos waiting to erupt, only growing worse, building up pressure while we...argue amongst ourselves. 

Now is the time to put individual egos aside, and work together for a better future, which, at present, we and our descendants do not seem to have.  Personal gain is frivolous. May we all have a steady, secure life. Community service and cooperation is everything. Let us beat the swords of celebrity consumer culture into the plowshares of sharing, giving, and love.
