Frank J. Menetrez asks Critical questions for Obama:
Will Obama stand up to Wall Street on the regulation of the financial services industry?
Will Obama stand up to the insurance companies and enact meaningful health care reform?
Will Obama stand up to the neocons and remove US troops from Iraq? What long term role does he envision for the US in Iraq?
Will Obama stand up to AIPAC and demand an equitable resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
Frank J. Menetrez : as a black man, an alleged Muslim, a known associate of former terrorists, and so on, Obama will presumably feel more than the average amount of political pressure to demonstrate unequivocally that he is a good “friend of Israel,” just as Democratic politicians like Bill Clinton have so often supported reactionary “law and order” policies (like Clinton’s so-called Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act) to try to prove they’re not “soft on crime.”
