But, it makes no sense to equate a Presidential appearance at the DC GA with a Presidential appearance in any other GA location, especially Jerusalem or Toronto!!!

The above is not a very thoughtful comment on your part.

OK, the maxim "Success has many fathers and mothers, failiure is an orphan" has been proved again. Those who want "credit" probably don't want the "discredit" of no presidential appearances the last five years would be my guess.

I concur with the previous "anonymous," commentator. Surely, Jerry had nothing to do with this "coup," although he will undoubtedly get credit for it.

Actually, I'm hesitant to offer any UJC professional - past or present - too much credit for this "coup," since it is clearly in the POTUS' best interests to make a quick, local appearance and attempt to assuage some of the opposition to his policies in our influential community.

As we say in my business, this GA appearance was an EASY sell.

does the old guard get any credit for this "coup" since planning and negotiation were underway for many months?

The real coup would be if the GA ldrshp engineered a mtg between Obama and Natenyahu or got them to speak at the same plenary... :-)
