Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said it best to President George Bush at a state dinner immediately following September 11. The president expressed his greatest fears to the Prime Minister who responded that Bush need not fear because he was with family. It was a response I'll never forget.

Diplomatically the country of Israel is our ally. Personally, emotionally and culturally Israelis are our family. What happens there will happen here. If anyone anywhere believes Obama is as tied to Israel as we, the people, of America are, they are in need of very expensive psychiatric care and re-education.

Romney made a speech that's been long in the waiting. Finally, an American president spoke unequivocally about the alliance between America and Israel. Bravisimo!!!!!
