`Oh dear,oh dear,another Tony Blair with his back stabbing of Israel ways.The more the euphoria,the greater the disillusion is going to be.Poor US,poor us.`

No. President Obama is going to be a national and world leader like no other. It may be true that the near carte-blanche of the Bush years will be gone, but instead, Israel will have an engaged and thoughtful ally - mindful of the need and seeking the ways to establish peace between Israel and her enemies; but ever-ready to defend her in any hour of crisis.
