The great thing about Obama is that his empathy is universal. He even empathizes--gasp!--with Palestinians. Yet again he acts like a "European," instead of nativists of the Rev. Hagee stripe. Clearly, "empathy" is as much anathema to AIPAC and the neocons as it is to corporate types whose mantra is "lower my taxes" and stick it to the poor, who deserve everything they don't have. No wonder the neocons and AIPAC felt so at home with Republican business conservatives!
