the only "normal" American Jews are the "right wing" Jews.And less supportive (of Israel) Americans are liberal democrats.Sad reality.
32. this article is insulting to americans!
Matt ,   America, The Strong   (07.23.08)
why should obama have to worry about israel's problems more than americas problems. Are you really suggesting Obama should ignore the above issues to help the Jews? I though Israel is so strong and can stand on its own? America has some serious issues to handle, thanks to Mr. Bush (israel's "best friend"), and helping Israel shouldn't be one of them. If Isreal is so strong, then what do u want from Obama. It is revolting that you feel Obama has a responsiblity to them and Israel before the real problems of his own country. Any american issus is fare more import than any Israeli issues. Obama is running for president of the US, not the president of Israel. Jews need to get out of our politics and worry about their own problems.
33. Why does this cat have such a creepy, ominous feel to him?
Cameron ,   USA   (07.24.08)
Obama has "self-righteous foolishness" sitting on one shoulder, and "sliding into mayhem" on the other. I smell a debacle of truly Carter-esque proportions if this grinning Liberal slips into the White House.
34. Intelligent Decent Democtrats Reject Obama
Democrat 101 ,   USA   (07.24.08)
The emptiness was coined as contentless by the New Republic's Wieseltier. Besides this, he is corrupt to the core, just like his handlers.
35. Your right, we don't need America..
Akiva ,   Maaleh Adumim   (07.24.08)
And this president wannabe should go home now so we can take care of business
36. the irony of Yair
Yisraeli   (07.24.08)
the irony of Yair's article which laments that if Obama is elected he will be busy with other things and not Israel and the middle east piss process. But the total opposite benefits Israel and thats if US Presidents will only keep their collective noses out of Israels business and stop treating us a like a subject of the USA. But of course Yair cant see it that way as he is still under the illusion that peace is possible with barbarians. Having said all that I think McCain will take the election as most people dont trust this media created Barbie Ken doll whos lips move as those who pull his strings. A Manchurian candidate.
37. #29 and all the rest of you
vered ,   israel   (07.24.08)
Here are some facts about the "evil" and "empty" Obama: Being white and black was a double obstacle for him. He was not rich, and he got into Columbia U. and Harvard and graduated with honors, all without protexia, on his own merit. Now I know all of you geniuses can do it too, even though Harvard is the most difficult college to get into in the U.S.. He is one of 5 black senators to ever serve in the senate. While in the senate he succeeded to pass several laws against nuclear terrorism, electoral fraud and other issues. Before he even went to Harvard he went to work in the Black communities by his own volition and organized and helped people to better their lives and communities. He is not: an alcoholic. Everything he has been associated with has succeeded and not failed, unlike some other presidents we have had. He does not have a wealthy family controlling him and pandering to other interests. He has not been caught cheating on his wife or been involved in some financial scandal, which definitely would have been dredged up by now. This is empty? This is evil? This is corrupt? What is wrong with you?
38. To chose
Jew ,   Israel   (07.24.08)
Soon the elderly Jews in Florida will die off as all over the US, and since the majority of younger Jews could care less about Israel or being Jewish, the American Jews will have little or no influence on American politics. And another thing: when the world has to chose between oil or the Jews, guess who it will chose?
39. To #37
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (07.24.08)
Congratulations! So you can read Wikipedia. I had hoped for some specifics with dates for those great achievements, but his own rep couldn't come up with any, either. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGeu_4Ekx-o Obama will make the world a safer place? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl32Y7wDVDs&feature=related This is what Thomas Sowell thinks of that:: http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell060508.php3 I didn't label the man evil or empty. I simply let him speak for himself and pointed out his associates. I have read a few excerpts from his books and some of those, too, are real eye-openers with regard to fact vs. fiction. Although I am a registered Republican, I would have no compunction at all, to vote for a Joe Lieberman, if his Republican opponent spouted the kind of convoluted BS as does BHO.
40. To #22 and #29
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (07.24.08)
Oh, well...... http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/8126
41. Tb #40 shb for # 22 and #37. Sorry!
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (07.24.08)
42. New President U.S.
Debora Edholm ,   Maravia, Costa Rica   (07.29.08)
I think the North Americans will have enough trouble taking care of themselves. But we can only hope he values Israel as a friend as he should. If not we can only imagine the future of the middle east............
