Our clueless Representative from California

From William Kristol writing at The Weekly Standard:
Pelosi: President Obama's Been to Israel �Over and Over Again�
Daniel Halper has called attention to Nancy Pelosi's remarkable interview with Al Hunt on the topic of Barack Obama and Israel. I'd note one comment in particular: Pelosi's claim that President Obama "has been there [Israel] over and over again."

Wow. I'm involved with the Emergency Committee for Israel. We have an ad up in several states calling attention to the fact that President Obama, who's been quite the world traveler, has never visited Israel as president. Did we make a terrible mistake? Were we unjust to President Obama? Do we have to pull down the ad?

No, no, and no. Contrary to Pelosi's apparent claim, President Obama hasn't been to Israel over and over again. He's never been as president, which is certainly what Pelosi implied. Well, maybe he visited Israel "over and over" before becoming president, and that's what Pelosi meant to say? No. When he was senator, Obama went on two trips to Israel, once with several other freshmen members of Congress, and then as a presidential candidate. And he'd never been interested enough in Israel to visit as a private citizen. So much for the notion that Obama's been "over and over again."
And they are so removed from reality that they fail to realize that we can fact-check their wrinkled little asses and call them out on their lies. Pelosi, as a minority leader of the United States House of Representatives is supposed to be ethical and honest in her dealings. She is supposed to represent her constituents. Epic FAIL! And, I find it disgusting that I have to go to the English Media to find stories like these. Not covered by any mainstream media over on our side of the pond...
