paired in the same sentence with the former president of the united states of america, named for rob obama. okay, so then steve, i've got to get through this last question of the blog. why do you think brock obama then made this trip to america? strong ally rather than a president biden, or at least a member of his administration. do you think this has anything to do with actual policy? well, you know, they say it's uh, it was a tour that he was making uh, on the uh, but with the obama foundation. and it was a stop that he made it was on. and now it's not done, announced that yeah, i didn't knock at the door, but it wasn't pre planned a big deal made about it. so but look, i think policy was discussed. i think mid east policy was discussed. i think we all know that brock obama had no use for benjamin netanyahu. and for israel, he was a fan of the muslim brotherhood. he kissed a rance toshiba and begged them to like us, and begged the ayatollah to like him, came up with the ran deal. so brock obama is got a lot of interest and going to see the prime minister of a great britain at this time
