It is unfortunate but perhaps natural that after the various lies spread in the last two presidential elections, we are starting this one with some of the same. Barack Obama is unequivocally pro-Israel as one can see from his website. You should go onto www.barackobama.com, look at FOREIGN POLICY under issues and see what he has to say: "clear and strong commitment to the security of israel: our strongest ally int ehre region and it s only established democracy." Enusre a strong US_ISrael Partnership: Support Israel's Right to self-definse, Prvent Iran from Acquiring Nuclear weapons, Achieve Energy Indepence as a way to enjhance US and Isareli security,etc.etc. It is my fervent hope that this election can be run honestly (probably too much to hope) and once and for all we can rid ourselves of limbaugh/coulter/swiftboat tactics which in he long run serve no one very well. So whoever one supports this election, at least do yourself the favor of checking up on the issues rather than just believing often false and misleading rumors that now can be spread quickly on the internet.
