As a person living in the USA I'll tell you that I disagree with both views. 1. Obama did not lose all his support. Indeed his popularity went down quite a bit. But that usually happens to all presidents near the end of their term. 2. Obama I'd definitely not Bush when it comes to Israel. Bush gave the green light go anything ghat Israel wanted. Obama, while he does tolerate what Israel does sometimes, he sort of slowed them in their track. Also the Jews here in the USA hate Obama because of this. So if he were to win again it decinetly won't be because of the Jews. What I think? Obama I'd not Budh of McCain. Indeed he disappointed many by not doing what he says a lit of time. But in all honesty, you should never expect much from the country that had strong relations with Israel since it was made. In the US, unlike Egypt, the president doesn't have total power over everything. It's a system. And the majority o American society wont change overnight. As I always say, never depend on the West for anything. If you want something you need to do it yourself.

When we first met Margaret Rose Kane in Silent to the Bone (rev. 11/00), she was a highly intelligent, self-possessed twentysomething with a gift for solving other people's problems. This novel takes us back to the summer when Margaret Rose was a highly intelligent, self-possessed twelve-year-old with some problems of her own. Shipped off to camp while her parents work (and work on their marriage) in Peru, Margaret Rose is harassed and humiliated by her cabinmates and takes to responding to nearly all requests with a Bartlebyesque "I prefer not to." Sprung from Camp Talequa to spend the rest of the summer with a pair of great-uncles, she soon faces another challenge. Uncles Alex and Morris have spent forty-five years building three towers in their backyard-painted steel structures hung with thousands of pendants made from "chips of glass and shards of porcelain and the inner workings of old clocks'--and now the local homeowners association, arguing that the towers hurt the "historical integrity" of the neighborhood, plans to have them demolished. Rallying a group of kindred spirits, including a museum director (who considers the towers masterpieces of "outsider art'), a no-nonsense lawyer, and an artist who makes his living as a handyman, Margaret Rose stands determined to save the towers from destruction. Konigsburg tackles some big themes--the meaning of art, the power of community, and the importance of nonconformity--without sacrificing her usual incisive characterizations and inventive storytelling. Margaret Rose is a wise-beyond-her-years narrator ("I wanted to throw my arms around him and kiss him, and I would have if I had not wanted to so badly"), and even minor characters, such as the couple who want her to babysit their sourdough starter, are limned with sometimes caustic wit. The novel also features an intriguing literary device. Sentences (such as "I loved them, their house, and their garden') are deconstructed into smaller components ("--them," "--their house," "--their garden") that serve as boldface headers for later elaborations in the narrative, creating a mosaic of interlocking fragments that eventually fit together with satisfying precision. It's a memorably singular prose style in another distinctive effort from an always surprising author.
