Olmert leaves office in shame

David Bedein at the Bulletin tells how Ehud Olmert should be remembered:
Jerusalem — As Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert prepares to leave office, he does so under a cloud of successive ethical and political failures. He departs his office with the noteworthiness of being the first Israeli prime minister to leave after having been indicted on charges of theft, breach of trust and fraud.

Additionally, unlike many of his predecessors, he leaves office with practically no popular support.

This cloud, however, does not seem to be affecting Mr. Olmert publicly.

“I am leaving with a sense of joy and satisfaction,” Mr. Olmert said yesterday, without hesitation, on his final day in office, three years after he was elected.

His term in office likely will be remembered as much for its failures as anything else.
Which can be read about in the rest of the article. It includes his failure to save Gilad Shalit, and at least 3 criminal indictments he now faces. I can't wait to see the news on what he'll be going through in court hearings.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
