Earlier this morning I predicted:

Prediction before the day is out...some Bush-McCain hack will attack Obama for criticizing the President while he is overseas!

I was just kidding, but one of Ambinder's "well-connected Republican readers" actually went there:

He could have publicly declined to comment on the President's comments citing the long standing custom of not criticizing a sitting president while abroad. ... I thought he was supposed to be a new kind of politician, but he played right into the hands of McCain. Somewhere McCain is smiling about all the Jewish votes he just secured in Florida.

I'm Jewish, and the Jewish Americans that I know were offended that Bush used the Israeli Knesset as a  prop for a domestic political attack. Israel is an important issue for McCain -- but for Republicans, Israel has more to do with John Hagee and Christian Zionism than their concern for Jewish Americans.

I especially resent the fact Jewish Americans are constantly used by the Republican Party to justify their policies in the Middle East, which have more to do with energy policy and satisfying the evangelical right than any particular concern for Jews. They are aware as anybody of the fact that along with African Americans, Jews are just about the most loyal Democratic ethnic/religious group.

I don't think Bush's offensive remarks yesterday will do anything to change that.
