1. Obama and Jimmy Carter
NYC Girl   (04.12.08)
This is why, as a liberal Democrat, I'm going to vote for John McCain. America can't afford to have a commander-in-chief who constantly equivocates. Jimmy Carter is no ordinary "private citizen." And if Obama doesn't recognize the weight that Carter's former presidency carries (failed though it may have been), and what his imprimatur would do to enhance the standing of a terrorist organization like Hamas, then he's far too naive to lead this country during such perilous times.
2. wavering
John Silver ,   Lakeland, USA   (04.11.08)
Once again, Obama doesn't gave the guts to make a stand on his policies and will not state whether he supports, nor is against Carter's visit to Hamas and is shamelessly pandering to the ultra liberal base of the Democratic party yet again.
3. What a weenie!
Don ,   Rock Branch, USA   (04.12.08)
If he doesn't condemn Carter visiting Meshall, he approves of it. I'll bet that secretly Obama wishes he had thought of it first. The more I read about this "man" the more I despise him. How did he make it this far? Lies and gullible people.
4. #3...just turn on your TV
Dov   (04.12.08)
And you will see how low the bar has been lowered in every aspect of life in the US,. In a few years I bet the presidential elections will be conducted a la American Idol or Survivor,,,,no substance,just glossed over BS.
5. true colors showing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROBERT MORLEY ,   farmington,wv   (04.12.08)
yep we know which way he's leaning but again if you look at his supporters you now why, is this the same guy that supported or said he supports israel a couple of weeks ago, another joke in the making!!!! may the lord forever bless the state of israel.!!!!!!
6. Obama Is Full Of It
Not Jewish ,   USA   (04.12.08)
Barack Hussein Obama has for the record, said that he will meet with Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, ( Big Satan) if elected, but will not meet with Iran's proxy puppet Hamas leader Mashall (Little Satan), do you believe this guy. Oh yes also, Jimmy Carter just endorsed Obama, small wonder. Jimmy Carter is about to journey to the Middle East to talk to and hob nob withIsrael's enemies. A Question? Did or didn't Obama also decline to criticize his mentor and hero, the Jew hating, Nation Of Islam Muslim loving, white people hating, America hating, curse America to show more hating, Obama's pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Obama isn't honest.
7. Obama Doesn't Criticize Racists
Not Jewish ,   USA   (04.12.08)
8. Did anyone expect anything else from osama?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (04.12.08)
9. A precursor of things to come
Christopher ,   Boston MASS USA   (04.12.08)
Obama declines to criticize anyone engaged in the promotion of racism and hatred: from his continued alliance with hateful 'ministers' to his unwillingness to help a Bangladeshi Muslim who faces execution for daring to openly state that Israel has a right to exist to carter to a full contingent of 'advisors' that have promoted the end of Israel and democracies throughout the world to his acceptance of contributions with an oil-billionaire from Canada that openly promotes the iranian agenda. Look for obama to name carter secretary of state or UN ambassador if he is elected. As for this once upon a time democrat, I'm voting Republican for the first time!
10. LOVE OBAMA AND JIMMY
(04.12.08)
THEY ARE fantastic. What for Gods sake is wrong with talking to anyone. you jews are really a bit mean.
11. I agree with NYC Girl
DWolf ,   San Jose CA   (04.12.08)
You go girl! I agree with you. And I have to say that the democratic party has forgotten the Jews. More and more I feel at a risk in this party. It is not the party of our parents. It is a party fast becoming beholden to anti-semitic tendencies.
12. The Manchurian candidate
Phil ,   US   (04.12.08)
It is fascinating how the mainstream media has protected Obama. Most Americans know very little about his accomplishments, his voting record as an elected official, or the specifics of his positions on the economy, Iran, or terrorism. The people running his campaign saw a very smart and charismatic candidate who delivered a great speech and decided to run his campaign on 2 words, "hope" and "change" while ignoring his lack of experience and record. The mainstream media has shown such favoritism towards him that they give prominence to any stories that may hurt the other candidates such as McCain's supposed affair with a lobbyist and Clinton's comments on her Bosnia trip. Yet most newspapers either glossed over or ignored Obama's 20 year association with an anti-American and antisemitic mental case who happened to be his minister. They only came out with the story after he gave his speech on race ( theminister issue had nothing to do with race) and told the world that Obama's speech was brilliant and equal to the Gettysburg Address. Now, we have Obama refusing to criticize Carter's ill-founded meeting with Hamas. Why won't he criticize Carter? Why didn't he leave a crazy and anti-American church? Whatever the reason, he's the worst possible candidate from a major party that I can remember.
13. Now that's a strong friend of Israel
Steve ,   Atlanta USA   (04.12.08)
Obama a guy that cannot be counted on to stand up and do what is right. No one with half a brain could conclude that Obama is a strong supporter of Israel. I have more respect for J.E. Wright, who at least took a stand. Even Nixon was a much better friend of Israel. This Democrat is voting McCain.
14. OBAMA IS ANTI ISRAEL!
Michael Ezrachi ,   St. Louis, USA   (04.12.08)
OBAMA IS A JEW HATER, AND ANTI ISRAEL. WHY CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT! IF THIS P.O.S. IS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE US, IT WILL BE THE END OF THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE US AND ISRAEL. OBAMA IS NO DIFFERENT THEN HIS PASTOR, JEREMIAH WRIGHT AND HIS BUDDY, FARRAKHAN. OBAMA SURROUNDS HIM SELF WITH ANTI ISRAEL FRIENDS, BIRDS OF FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER. EVERY US CITIZEN THAT LIVES IN ISRAEL, PLEASE EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE THIS NOVEMBER. BOTH ISRAEL AND THE US ARE COUNTING ON YOU TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
15. Of course, Obama would not criticize Carter on Hamas...
Rivkah   (04.12.08)
Obama's church of TWENTY years he has not cancelled his membership in PUBLISHED at their own expense, the HAMAS MANIFESTO which calls for the MURDER OF JEWS!!! see http//wnd.com/index.php?fa=page,view&pageID59456
16. Obama would Join Carter to meet Hamas Terrorist if he Could
david ,   sf, usa   (04.12.08)
Obama is a danger to national security, Carter should be arrested for treason
17. Finally they woke up!!!!!
Semper Fi! ,   San Diego, USA   (04.12.08)
Whow, I was sadly loosing hope in the US Jewry. Reading the US mainstream media, the 5th column NYC, LA Times or Washington Post among others I thought the American Jews and some in Israel were the most stupid selfloathing individuals we've ever seen. Even some writers in Ynet were disclosing the same disease. And suddenly there is hope, yeah HOPE, they found out were these disgusting media were taking them. Lying all the time, attacking Israel always, giving all kind of reasons for the massacres perpetrated by the barbarians and supported by the worst president that the US had ever, the CNN's, NBC's, CBS's and somehow ABC of this world were sometimes more hateful that the filthy AlJazeera. By theway, most of those networks are managed by who...Jews...Nice huh? And who do they love the most? Hussein Obama...Who are the BIG money donors to him : Soros, Spielberg ( remember Munich?) and others morons from Silicon Valley, Makes me vomit everytime I think about. Thank you all for finally realizing that you were wrong. ALL THE HARD LEFT OF THE DEMOCRATS IS VISCERALLY ANTIISRAEL. It took time to you guys to find it out? Welcome back to reality and to your people!!!!! Just one talkback supporting Osama/Obama...Good, it should someone writing from a cave, we do not know, he/shed does not have the minimum decency to publish an alias, but he should be worrying how to hurt a Jew...
18. Obama's best friend is a syrian convict... No kidding !
william ,   USA   (04.12.08)
Just read the news reports at... http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/rezko/index.html ... This Syrian born crook called Tony Rezko is on trial in Federal court for corruption at the highest levels... He was a very close friend and confidant of "Hussein" Obama... Even practically gave away a real estate property to Obama who still believes in his innocence... You'll be shocked to learn of the influence he had on this so-called presidential candidate... Just imagine what it would be like to have a US prez called "Hussein" Obama at the white house with a syrian advisor...
19. Humpty Obama sat on a wall, we all wonder
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (04.12.08)
WHICH SIDE HE WOULD FALL!!!!!!!!!
20. If Carter backs Obama - You know Clinton is the right choice
Best israeli blog at ,   Israellycool.com   (04.12.08)
21. obama is right,
(04.12.08)
(though i have to admit it,) the US needs to start minding its own business.
22. #11 the democratic party has forgotten..
(04.12.08)
everyone but itself, with its hidden agendas, not just the jews. and everyones at risk. anti-semetic is the least of your problems.
23. Obama won't criticize because he's wishy-washy!
Ami Israel ,   Jerusalem   (04.12.08)
24. Obama and Carter
Hilda ,   US   (04.12.08)
Why would Barack Hussein Obama disapprove of Carter visiting with Hamas, he plans to visit with Achmenajad should he be elected. He hobnobs with all of the antisemites and then expects to get the Jewish vote. Unfortunately, some misguided Jewish liberals love him but then there were always some Jewish kapos. G-d help us all . We live in dangerous times and we really do need a Moses today.
25. Obama and Carter
Brod ,   USA   (04.12.08)
They are the same. If Obama becomes President he will be making a fool of himself by meeting with terrorist state of Iran. If he thinks the Ayatollahs are rational people, then is not ready to be President. In fact, Democrats should vote for McCain should Obama be the Democratic Nominee. Where in the world could a rookie-someone who does not have substantial executive experience be elected President? America is a Super Power and should ensure that the candidate they would elect as President has many years of experience, is knowledge and wise.
26. "Change"?
jersey guy ,   princeton, nj   (04.12.08)
the change after BHO's elected will be the change jangling in your pocket, replacing the dollar bills you used to have in your wallet!!!
27. what a delusional concept
thru-other-eyes ,   amsterdam holland   (04.12.08)
This idea that if someone like Carter talks to someone from Hamas that somehow Hamas will be strengthened or gain some new found tactical or strategic advantage is suck a delusion. They're just meeting and talking. BIG DEAL. Get over it and grow up I would say.
28. Obama,a desaster on the horizon
(04.12.08)
29. Obama speaks for the American people.
Persian CAT   (04.12.08)
The American people are sending him millions of dollars and thus have rescued him from the jaws of the Israel lobby. Although he is doing his best to "toe the line" by doing the usual pandering to you-know-who, he is also showing he cannot be bought and handled the way McCain and Hillary are. The American people have awakened and realized the Zionists are "eating their lunch" by goading them to create wars and subjugating American national interests to those of the Zionist jihadis. Obama is reading the tea leaves. Nuffsaid.
30. obama-carter
sherman ,   jerusalem Israel   (04.13.08)
watch out for obama who is a fast talker but an inexperienced- wild card-how can people just vote for an unknown? there is no room in an international arena for taking chances . American Public-be careful!
