Comparison Shopping: Barack Obama vs. Israel

Earlier in the day, we linked a New York Times article that quoted a whole bunch of elderly South Floridian Jews accusing Obama of being everything from a lukewarm supporter of Israel to an Israel-hater to a "nice lawyer," who hates Israel. And while it is important that they know that law school isn't for everyone and that being a comedian is a manageable life choice just like any other, it is perhaps even more important that they know that their oh-so-imperfect lawyer has much more in common with their oh-so-perfect state of Israel than they realize:

	Barack Obama	Israel
Who Am I?	First-term junior senator from Illinois	Chopped liver?
Nuclear Proliferation?	No	No
Weapon of Choice	Silver tongue	Tanks, bombs, missiles, Uzis, hard psychedelic trance
Greatest Embarrassment	Getting caught claiming that white working class voters cling to guns and religion.	Association with derivative late-period Adam Sandler vehicle.
Most Likely to Lie About	Sitting in church with Jeremiah Wright	Hummus superiority
Greatest Fear	Arugula blight.	Losing road map to peace, accidentally driving itself into the sea.
