"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."
(Thomas Jefferson)

Obama's UN speech comes with backdrop of doubts about Jewish support

Even The Hill is not sure what Obama is going to say in his United Nations speech -- we understand their doubts about Obama's Jewish support as he has favored the Arab World since he took office.  Is Obama going to try to weasel word his speech -- be interesting what he has to say.  Wouldn't almost bet that most Americans are going to take what he says with a grain of salt since he is in full campaign mode.

Obama's UN speech comes with backdrop of doubts about Jewish support
By Sam Youngman

President Obama will deliver a critical address Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly expected to be dominated by questions about Palestinian statehood. 
Obama's administration will veto any request by the Palestinians for the UN Security Council to grant them a sovereign state, but the White House hopes to avoid that step. Such a vote could set back Obama's efforts to reset the U.S. relationship with the Arab world. 
The president's speech also comes at a critical time for Obama in terms of domestic politics. Obama is facing new doubts about whether he can win a second term, and the loss of a seemingly safe House seat in New York City last week, caused by the defection of conservative Jewish voters, has raised questions about the level of support Obama has with a traditional Democratic group of voters.
