It's not surprising that Gary Ackerman went out of his way to praise Barack Hussein Obama and mock George Bush. Ackerman admitted at a Campaign Debate in Manhasset back on Oct. 13, 2010 that he proudly supports Obama. At a time when the vast majority of Democrats were distancing themselves from Obama, in order to increase their chances of being elected.
What makes Ackerman much more dangerous than most Democrats in office is the perception amongst 70 % to 80% of the people that he's very pro-Israel. Also, most people believe he's trustworthy ( talk about being off-base! ). In addition, as much as I don't like Ackerman, he's extremely knowledgable.
