O-Day +82: Playin' with the Big Boys..

Now that Obama is in office, he gets to see just how much fun it is to juggle paying back his political supporters, supporting US allies and dealing w/ a UN hostile to said supporters and allies.

The White House has indicated for weeks that it would boycott the conference unless significant changes were made to the draft text. This position has been cheered by the Jewish community, but other minority organizations, notably the NAACP and the TransAfrica Forum, expressed concern, arguing that the forum was a uniquely important opportunity to address world racism.

Who is more important to his re-election? Which political stance will get thrown under the bus?

"...arguing that the forum was a uniquely important opportunity to address world racism."

I have issue with that quote. You can't change what people believe in their hearts. That's something they have to do. Now I could make the stretch as how racism could be tied to hate speech and then used to restrict free speech even more but I know that's a stretch.
