1. Obama a cult
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa. USA   (02.13.08)
Obama's slick sales pitches and personjifacation for "change" is like a wolf in sheeps clothing douping throngs to follow him. People who are so infatuated with would drink poisoned cool aid if they were asked. He's is another Jim Jones.

7. Obama bad for Israel
eric ,   colorado, USA   (02.13.08)
Israel should be very worried if Obama is elected. He seems to be either a secret muslim or an afro-centrist. either way he will side with Islam and the arabs! He will ruin the US, and that will effect your safety also.

woww ,   LA   (02.13.08)
C'mon...! Of all the nations in the world, Israel can understand it easily. It's the hope for a better future and a society that nothing else matters but merits. The will and the strenght to work and to overcome all hardships. He might not be perfect, but he strives for it.

15. What fools these mortals be, as Shakespeare would say...
Rivkah   (02.13.08)
People are voting for a son of a Moslem and an atheist who went to a madrassa Moslem school as a child, used cocaine and marijuana in college, has belonged to a church with an allegiance to AFRICA (not America), and ties to Louis Farakan's Nation of Islam? People are not voting for Barak Obama. The voting machines are corrupted. In Maine and other states where precincts reported NO VOTES for Ron Paul, people protested that THEY VOTED FOR RON PAUL. The skulduggery is pervasive. Who is behind this voter fraud? Have the Moslems paid off the Mafia who Hal Lindsey says own the voting machines for US Presidential races? That appears to be the case. Just as the Red Chinese owned the Clintons, it looks like the Moslems own Obama. A nation gets the leaders they deserve because the Lord is greater than voter fraud and could have stopped that if the people deserved better leaders. Obviously, the breakers of the Commandments of the Lord including those who keep a Sunday Sabbath instead of the Lord's Sabbath, deserve the leaders they get. Daniel in the Bible said God rules in the kingdoms of men and sets up over them the basest of men.
16. Go Obama!!
YA ,   UK   (02.13.08)
"those whom he wants to destroy, first makes mad". Are they thinking at all? That happens when people start believing their own PC-BS. Now they try to choose form 2 clearly unelectable candidates. McCain is already the President. Congrats America. Great stuff.
17. ALL JEWS TO VOTE BARACK OBAMA, BARUCH HASHEM (B''H)
Gideon   (02.13.08)
Shmah Yisrael, don't close your eyes & your spirit to people from other origins & ethnicity. I like Barack Obama because I am an open-minded Jew, like Jews always have been since they exist. Rightist Israelis & Republican Jews are going crazy !
18. Obama is bad for Jews
Yerach ,   Jerusalem Israel   (02.13.08)
A vote for Obama is a vote Louis Farrakhan,Jesse Jackson,Al Sharpton & David Dinkins!!!! Remember the Crown Heights pogrom & know what will happen nationwide in America should Obama be president!!!!! Oi L'Rasha Oi L'Shecheino!!!!
19. Yerach and ignorant anti-Obama Israelis
Thomas   (02.13.08)
Israelis are fond of telling American Jews to mind their own business when it comes to Israel's affairs. Can you please follow your own advice when it comes to our elections? Thanks in advance.
20. #16 WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING BOY !!?
(02.13.08)
21. Real Change
Alamantra ,   Birmingham Al USA   (02.13.08)
I've been one of the people at those rallys, and Barack Obama really is bringing something new to our political landscape ...Hope to a people who have been fed fear and terror for the past seven years. Look at what that's done for the world. Is Israel really any safer for it? Contrary to the rumor mills and liars, Barack Obama is not a Muslim and never has been. Though he is a professed Christian, he advocates broad religious tolerance. He will also finish the job of bringing Osama bin Laden to justice. He will do so by bringing a new approach to American diplomacy that will seek to enlist all the nations of the world into a responsible and concerted means of dealing with terrorism. America and Israel won't have to stand so alone. This will be good, not just for Israel, but for the whole Middle East. Indeed.. Israel is an integral part of the Middle East, and so Her safety and security abides in that of Her neighbors.
22. Let's see how the Clintons handle this situation...
Rivkah   (02.13.08)
A week before John F. Kennedy, Jr. was to announce his US Senate run which would have put Hillary Clinton's US Senate run on the back burner, John died in an airplane crash into the Atlantic Ocean. I watched that at my sister's house when a former fighter pilot neighbor was there, watching it, too. He said there had to have been an explosion on the plane for it to go down as it did. There have been many researches into that tragedy that benefited Hillary Clinton in the US Senate race from New York. Of course, the most popular is that the Israeli Mossad put a bomb on the plane; but with all the Red Chinese campaign contributions, it is more likely they did on request of someone. The lecture by JR Church called "Tickling the Tail of the Dragon" presented at the 1994 Atlanta Prophecy Conference details 60+ mysterious deaths in the wake of the Clintons' political careers. Is one of the Clintons the lawless one Daniel in the Bible warned about? Or could it be Javier Solana? Charles, Prince of Wales? Time will reveal that dark secret that Israel signs a covenant with death with unless that has already happened and Resolution 666 that was confirmed for seven years by the New ENPI in 2007 was that fateful occurence. If so, then in three more years, the Third Temple will be rebuilt and operative in Jerusalem and a world figure will go into the Temple blaspheming, saying he is God when he is not. Then all hell will break loose for the Jews unless they flee to the mountains and Petra. The burden (judgment) of Jordan the Bible speaks of will make that possible.
23. Obama, oh mama...
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (02.13.08)
What a farce! Is Hussein Obama the right man to become the US Forces SUPREME COMMMADER? Is Husseing Obama the right person to resist the openly and publicly declared Global Jihad? Is Hussein Obama the right person in charge of the Red Button? Despite all the "politically correct" garbage thrown around freely by castrated Liberal imbeciles- I say NO! Before you accuse me of "racism" (which you indulge in yourself whenver Jews and no-Leftists are involved), let me clarify why I think Hussein Obama at the White House is a danger to America: Hussein Obama has NOTHING to show for. He has done NOTHING that can prove political maturity. Hussein Obama has done NOTHING to prove he is ready to protect the Constitution he invokes so many times, and Hussein Obama has done NOTHING to prove that he really understands the complex political situation in a world attacked and mutilated by Islam, fanatical Left and suicidal, complacent and pompous politicians. For now, Hussein Obama is merely an educated marketing and PR manager - THAT IS ALL. Would you want to hand over your future in the hands of a person that has NOT a single and proven achievement except for great speeches? Hussein Obama should be put in his right place, kept in the politics for a little while longer to force him to show his true colors. Does he fly the Green of Islam? Or maybe the Yellow of cowardice? Is it the Red of the anarchist Left? Or is he ready to fight for and protect each and every star on that US flag as the American forefathers directed? Only time can tell and that's exactly what he needs - more time OUTSIDE of the Oval Office and more time in the political battelfield, where he will be forced to unmask himself and walk the walk and talk the talk. Maybe only then we will know the REAL Hussein Obama.
24. #19: So what are YOU doing in an Israeli forum?
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (02.13.08)
... and since here we enjoy Freedom of Speech - a bit more than you seem to be appreciating, we will be discussing here whatever we please with or without your Pompous Highness Royal Approval. So if you do not like what's being spoken here you either scram or contribute but don't EVER tell us to shut up. Capisch?
25. Misleading
David ,   Jerusalem   (02.13.08)
Obama is primarily taking states with small electoral-delegate votes, while Clinton has taken the big states and their delegates. It just like a presidential election, tactics don't amount to strategy. Victories in battle don't amount to victories in war. And, winning the nomination doesn't mean winning the national election. In the primaries both parties swing to their respective polls, but in the main event people VOTE to the center. And that's what counts. Is he a phenomenon? Yeah, he's drawing big crowds. That doesn't amount to a win. Nor does professional concern and stamina on the part of Secret Service agents amount to "sympathy." Your own zeal for the man is coloring your judgement.
26. #17
David ,   Jerusalem   (02.13.08)
King David said: "I hate free thinkers." Word.
27. dont even think....
lildoobird ,   jerusalem israel   (02.13.08)
that the US is ready for a man of color with a non-christian background will sit in the oval office. Americans are open minded but not THAT open. I just hope that we can stay away from his hollywood rhetoric. americans are gullable. better yet put the cia on it. i am sure we can find some subversive activities in his not so distant past.
28. # 24
Thomas   (02.13.08)
I'm only telling Israelis what they have been telling us for decades. Mind your own business. It was an Israeli who sent that riddiculous e-mail calling Obama a Muslim and a threat. We know this becase there was Hebrew written in that email. You only made us look bad to the next president of our country. If there is anyone who threatens the security of Jews outside Israel, it's Israelis. Now shut up.
29. Obama
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (02.13.08)
A vote for Obama could very well be a vote against another Clinton. This country, in no way, shape or form is ready for a "colored," Africa-leaning, semi-Muslim. Unless I wanted to learn how to include every swear word in one sentence, I would hate to face Hillary over the breakfast table this morning, and I most certainly would remove all sharp objects from her reach. It had best be paper plates and finger food for this occasion.....
30. Obama is Charismatic but...
guy ,   los angeles   (02.13.08)
From his first national exposure at the "04 Dem Convertion the media has been solidly behind him-and he himself says that he is emulating the speech of Martin Luther King. But he is not being challenged to provide specifics on any proposals and is offering everyone "Change" which means giving away the store and is simply empty talk. His supporters also want "peace" at any cost and if he acts as he says he could become the American Neville Chamberlain. Unfortunately it appears that the Republicans will stick with McCain who has little stage presence -and that matters the most to an America that knows more about Brittany Spears than where the Middle East is....
