Fair enough. I simply found your reaction to the Obama snippet to be unjustly reactionary given the context (or lack thereof). Palin was at least contextualized to be speaking about the Iraq War. Obama, on the other hand, was at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. A bit different, no?

Or were you just making a point? (Re: biased factoids and distortions.)
