Seriously, Obama, your credibility is wearing just a tad thin. The leader of Iran has just issued a statement for the 3rd time in one week questioning the events and death toll on 9/11, and al Qaeda's responsibility. That means you're fresh out of friends. Stop pandering, and stop proposing direct talks with terror regimes.

everyone else Stateside came out against this meeting weeks ago and Mr. Obama just waited and waited. Now that everyone else has decided it was out of line he weighs in?! Does not look good for someone who wants to be the President of the USA....shouldn't he have come out against this first and very loudly as opposed to last and very quietly?

if case of problems we talk to fighting factions to resolve problems , not to friends. to establish peace you need to talk to the enemies.

Don't blame the guy,he was waiting for livni's instructions on what reaction he should take on Carter's peaceful mission to ME.

He'll be another Jimmy Carter. Remember what Carter's presidency was like? Disaster is too kind a description. Anyway, he'll say anything to get elected but once in office ..... For all his "message" - he's just another lying politician scrambling for votes.

He won't talk to Hamas but he will talk to Iran. Who funds Hamas? They're all in cohoots. Obama is so stupid.

That's like talking to Cheney but not Bush.

He speaks against lobbyists while he gains millions of dollars from them all the time. He is a liar, and shouldn't be trusted with the great nation of America. But then again if we are willing to trust this idiot... maybe we aren't so amazing :(

The fraud, and thank God, he hasn't a snow ball's chance in hell of getting elected at this point!

He is innocent but smart and learns quickly.

GET OUT of USA poilticis Israel and We get out of yours? deal? I think everyone should talk to everyone. even AMEricANS question 9-11 and if the jews had something to do with it. not just ARAbs. you cants stop free thought. We NEED to talk to Iran. you jews just want a WAR for Israel- AGVAIN

TALK TO IRAN BUT NOT TO HAMAS? YO OBAMA, IT'S THE SAME WAR. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFINS!

The American politicians seem to have "Peanut Brains." Carter talks to Hamas and this guy wants to talk and waste his time with Iran. He is clearly ignorant and naive. If he becomes the American President G-d help us all. Next it will be talking with Al Quaida.

It is easy to be a follower, but that is not what is needed in a world leader.

Beware of pointing to the toothpick in thy brothers eye and ignore the log in your own .if, as you say,iran funds hamas then why not talk to the big guys.Idioct 1

Boy what a twosome, Obama and Carter. Carter is a total idiot if he fails to realize that it is illegal for any individual U.S. citizen to conduct foreign policy. He should have stuck to driving nails. As for Obama I wouldn't vote for him as dogcatcher. He is totally anti semitic and he is a radical left wing socialist. Take Obama, Carter and Clinton and you truly have the three stooges! Carter tried top destroy the country but failed now these other two want to have a shot at it!

Carter supported the Ayattollah Homeini over the shah. Khomeini brought in all this suicide radicalism.brezinskin was part of it. The shah should have been given the green light to butcher all the mullahs including Ahmadinejad. Instead Carter allowed it and we are paying for it now. he was a lousy president. He is also principally funded by the arabs and that's why he kisses their ass.

He is like Ahmadinejad of Iran, He says one thing and does another, he is not to be trusted. According to some sources recently he received a large of sum money for his campaign from Iranian regime via NIAC - National Iranian American Council and Mr. Amirahmadi.

for thinking you can solve problems without our exclusive god settling it all out for us and only us. Let this Obama fella do his work!

Obama will say ANYTHING to get Jewish VOTES and MONEY!!!! But Hilary is the same, too.

Obama is obviously not fit to be US president. He is clearly a very clever politician, just saying what he SHOULD say to get votes. And in some cases, such as about guns and religion in the mid-west, he gets that wrong.

Told him to read the talkbacks!!

There has been much strong talk in the Obama camp that if elected Obama will give Jimmy Carter an important position in the government. Obama is planning on using Carter to be a middle east peace envoy. James Baker has also been mentioned in this same capacity. This and more of the same is what America and Israel are getting if Barack Hussein Obama is elected. Look at his team now, it is comprised of Jew hating, pro Muslim advocates such as Robert Mallery, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Anthony Lake, and other like minded people. Everyone needs to know what they are getting with Obama. Obama's soothing words to the Jews are just words to get the Jewish money and their votes. Obama said nothing to stop his mentor and hero Jeremiah Wright fron demanding that his and Obama's racist church divest in Israel. If you love Israel, give Obama's weak kneed silence on Wright's demand for divestment from Israel some throught.

...many times. "Clear demands" such as halting nuclear weapons' development, etc... is what he considers a "fresh approach?" Where has he been? The real question for Mr. Obama is what he plans to do when they tell him what he wants to hear and continue to do what they please? What then? It's not enough to simply spout off the usual first step in negotiations, that's been done ad nauseum. What we need is an idea of how he plans to react when they break their promises (and they will). Obama supporters are satisfied he has a plan but are too ignorant to understand, it's nothing new and it doesn't work. Capitulation to Islamists hell-bent on Israel's destruction is extremely dangerous, especially now. But that's what Carter and Clinton did and what Obama plans to do. How a Jewish person could ever vote for a democrat is simply incredible, to me.

"That's why I have a fundamental difference with President Carter and disagree with his decision." FIRST OF ALL. OBAMA NEVER First SAID "TO MEET WITH HAMAS!" Reuters added it. I watched him speak and he did not say that. He followed the word, "decision" with the next statement, "We should not negotiate..." OK. What is his "fundamental difference" with Carter? That Obama would talk to Iran and Syria instead? "Disgreeing" with Carter's decision? This is NOT a condemnation of Carter. Not even a mild rebuke. "We should only sit down with Hamas if they renounce terrorism, recognize Israel's right to exist and abide by past agreements." 1. Hamas would counter that they do not engage in "terrorism" but "legitimate resistance." 2. There are no past agreements with Hamas. 3. "Recognizing Israel's right to exist" is not regonizing Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. Every Arab leader, including "peace partners, Abbas & Mubarik, rejects Israel as a JEWISH state. Obama needs to renouce Hamas and his foreign policy advisor, Richard Malley, who is a Hamas fundraiser.

Basically, Obama is a "coffe-coloured" Carter!

At first, Obama had nothing to say against Carter. After all, Obama is basically another Carter. Only when the uproar appeared in the Jewish press, did Obama and his advisors realize he'd have to "denounce" Carter's decision to talk to Hamas, in order to increase Jewish support for him, financial and otherwise.
