Did Obama, the near-certain Democratic Party nominee for president, "protest too much" in complaining about Bush\'s speech to Israel\'s Knesset on Thursday?</br><br></br><br>According to the senator, "George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the president\'s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel."</br><br></br><br>Judging from the standing ovations the president received, our Israeli allies — who have the most to fear from a nuclear Iran — disagree. Moreover, Kennedy\'s blockade of Cuba, Nixon\'s Vietnamization (reneged on by the post-Watergate Democratic Congress) and Reagan\'s years of defense buildup and "evil empire" saber-rattling before agreeing to a Soviet summit all belie Obama\'s invocation of those presidents.</br><br></br><br>Furthermore, the terrorists themselves know a President Obama will engage with them. The chief political adviser to Hamas\' Gaza leader Ismail Haniyeh is on record as saying, "We like Mr. Obama, and we hope he will win the election."</br><br></br><br>Earlier this month, Obama described the takeover of West Beirut by Hezbollah gunmen as a "power grab" and declared, "It\'s time to engage in diplomatic efforts to help build a new Lebanese consensus."</br><br></br><br>Letters found on the seized computer of Raul Reyes, the warlord with Colombia\'s Marxist-Leninist FARC terrorist group who was killed in an army strike in March, happily reported that "two gringos" he met assured him that Obama would win the election.</br><br></br><br>"Lord, if I could only have talked to Mahmoud" will be words of little comfort to future victims of nuclear terrorism</br></div>\

The world has 21 such vessels, according to <a href="http://Rigzone.com" rel="nofollow">Rigzone.com</a>, which tracks the offshore drilling industry.</br><br></br><br>    The company\'s ``insatiable\'\' demand is forcing producers including Exxon Mobil Corp. and BP Plc to pay more as they compete for the remaining units, said Kjell Erik Eilertsen and Truls Olsen, analysts at Fearnley Fonds AS in Oslo. Explorers that don\'t have rigs under contract may delay projects or pay rents of more than $600,000 a day. </br><br></br><br>Sounds like they\'re onto something.

And although that amount included the $10 million transfer from her Senate campaign account, as well as lots of money that could only be used in the general election, it eclipsed Obama’s $18.6 in the bank. </br><br></br><br>But once we entered the New Year, the rest was history: Obama went on to raise a million (or more) a day, while Clinton, although still raising plenty of money, ran out of cash and is now more than $20 million in debt. </br><br></br><br>This turning point -- when Clinton went from money leader to being essentially broke -- can’t be overstated. </br><br></br><br>And it’s also worth noting that this is the second-straight cycle that the candidate who raised the most money heading into the nominating contests (Howard Dean won that honor in ’03) will probably not be the nominee. </br></div>\
