Wexler:
America has paid a dear price for Iraq bogging us down. On Bush & McCain’s watch – we have watched Iran’s power growth and endangerment of Israel & America.
Turn our focus back to defeating Al Qaeda. He’s the leader we need and the leader and friend Israel needs.
An unshakeable dedication to Israel – stands with Israel – with words & deeds. Barack Obama led the fight for divestment legislation that will deliver powerful economic sanctions against Iran. (mcCain has not weighed in). Barack Obama understands the attacks that Israel faces – and he will strongly support their right to defend themselves. Understands that the words Never Again must have meaning in our time.

Interesting interjection. The Florida delegation got Pro-Obama, Pro-Israel signs that they held up. My fellow Obama delegate and a wonderful human being – Majid Al Bahadli (Iraqi-American) – raised an interesting question around the speech. If we’re focused on Israel, how do we also make sure to appeal to the Arab-American community that represents a huge and material constituency in Michigan.
