Aw, nuts

So you’re Barack Obama, fresh off a conference call with Jewish reporters and feeling good about your outreach to the Jews on the eve of the NJ and NY primaries. Then you wake up to this headline in the Wall Street Journal:

Carter Praises Obama Campaign

Carter’s remarks are largely reserved for praise of Obama’s oratory:

Mr. Carter said he has had limited direct contact with Mr. Obama but has been particularly impressed with the candidate’s recent public appearances. “He has an extraordinary oratory…I think that Obama will be almost automatically a healing factor in the animosity now that exists, that relates to our country and its government.”

I can see the Obama press release now:

“Carter has  ’limited direct contact’ with Obama”

Meanwhile, the National Jewish Democratic Council has put out a fact sheet comparing Clinton, Edwards, and Obama’s records on Israel.
