OK, the election is over. A majority of American Jews, exhibiting battered wife syndrome, gave Obama their votes. In appreciation for the support of so many Jews, Obama nominated the most ant-Israel cabinet ever. The New York Post now reports:

Obama is scheduled to visit Israel in March - his first as president.
