1. O'Bumma's photo op B.S.
Marcel ,   Florida   (06.23.09)
How many of the Obama Kool-aid drinkers are fooled by this too late in coming concern of their god ? ' I expect that Obama will now ratchet up the pressure on Israel to submit to his demand that no further Israeli building take place in any area across the former Green Line, that is the 1948 Cease Fire line. Since Obama is unable to press his agenda on anyone else.' As President's G.H.W.Bush,Billy Bob Clinton and G.Wicked Bush knew ,Obama knows how easy Israel is to push around. They take the abuse like maschosist's and refuse to stop it out of fear. When every Israeli prime minister bring knee pads on their visit to the White House (Ehud Barak and Shimon Peres keep a pair at the Israeili embassy for emergencies)as a sign of homage and worship, it's no wonder Obama is drawn like a mutt to crap on Israel. So far the latest poodle minister has not been able to cut the leash. Here is something the U.S. does at moslem funerals that it does not permit it's favorite abused pet on a leash to do. ------------------- Whatever Baitullah Mehsud and his associates are doing in the name of Islam is not a jihad, and in fact it is rioting and terrorism," Zainuddin told the AP after a mosque suicide bombing attack, blamed on Mehsud, killed 33 people. "Islam stands for peace, not for terrorism." The Taliban faction leader who was seen as the chief rival to the militant group's Pakistani head was fatally shot Tuesday, reportedly by one of his own guards. Also Tuesday, suspected U.S. missiles hit a suspected Taliban training center, then more missiles hit an evening funeral procession for some of those killed in the earlier strikes, officials and witnesses said. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31506944/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia/
2. obama is a fool who plays it cool
(06.23.09)
3. #1 blah blah blah. cut and paste
obama man ,   DC   (06.23.09)
4. How Green Was My Valley??? Who knows?
Gideon Reader   (06.23.09)
Yeah. He was so disturbed he could hardly finish his ice cream cone and play his 18 holes of golf with his moronic but always comical assistant Mensa Joe Biden, of Welsh MIning Fame.
5. Big blabber is one week too late....
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (06.23.09)
Just a lip service - nothing else.. He will never speak up against his iranian masters-in-faith.... The worse is yet to come.
6. Shake your finger? Have the 6th fleet drop anchor in the
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.23.09)
Persian Gulf. If the young iranians are willing to die in the streets for freedom, where is the 6th fleet to give them support? No one is afraid of o-bum-a's shaking finger.
7. To Marcel: When, When, When???
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (06.23.09)
According to polls, most Americans like Obama's foreign policy outreach, even to Chavez. They are undecided about his economics however. Reaching out to Chavez, Castro, Assad, Ahmad and (until lately) Jong..oh me oh my. A few nitwits also claim the protests in Iran are linked to Obama's go soft on Iran attitude (now that's thinking for you). Chavez has nationalized more, Jong will target Hawiii area, Assad's links to Ahmad is stronger, and Hamas dismissed Bibi's approach as absud. Yet, we hear that if unemployment goes up more..Obama will lose in 3.5 years. The question I ask is: will Iran nuke Tel Aviv? Will their display of airforce might stop at refueling? When will Israel and the USA pre-empt by taking out Ahmads' nuke sites? When? When? When?
8. To Arthur: I Am Ashamed to Be An American
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (06.23.09)
To Arthur: Please everyone, write Obama, Hillary and your legislators. Express your dismay at Obama (Hillary) and his team of pacifists and naive advisers. Ask him why we did not bomb those 30 nukes sites before? Why did we not send our forces in the Persian Gulf to help those protesting? Why are we pressuring little Israel to stop building for their children beyond the green line (it is disputed territory, not occupied)? What is wrong with US, when we help Karzai's govt and the Shais fight the Sunnis and are not seeing the real enemy, Iran's mad mullahs and the mad Ahmad. I am ashamed to be an American right now..To Jimmy Carter, you are a fool.
9. This one termer is using bigger adjectives to try and save
martin ,   tel aviv   (06.23.09)
his skin. He entered negative territory in the polls for the first time yesterday. He's more and more being perceived as weak an ineffectual. Except to when it comes to destroying the US economy that is. Martin
10. our "president"
(06.24.09)
is so "apalled" that his invitation to iranian delegates from iranian embasies all over the world to ATTEND THE USA 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION STILL STANDS!!!!! apalled, indeed! obama played it cautious during his sham senate days with any vote that could have hurt him in his ambition. he is also an undecided failed leader with this international significant vote as well. a weekknee president and a total sham of a person. liar, devious and useless.
11. Blast? Yea....more like
rachel ,   chutz4now home soon   (06.24.09)
passing wind in a hurricane. His language and posture only shows that iran et al have tamed the great satan and now just need to do mop up with everyone else G-D forbid!
12. What Obama needs
Ronnie Bell ,   Walkerston   (06.24.09)
DEAD SEA SALT. Because that how fast the great mans Presidency is going. He is weak or a secret Muslem out to destroy little Israel.
13. And I'm Appalled By Obama
Not Jewish ,   USA   (06.24.09)
Will barry boy bow and apologize to the mullahs for those Iranian freedom seekers, because the reformists look to him for approval and verbal support. Barry won't help them because ahmadinajad will get mad at him and cancel their upcoming much hyped productive talks.
14. Obama does not deserve Israeli coverage
Ora ,   Canada   (06.24.09)
I think the Israeli media should not honor Obama by writing about him and what he thinks. He does not deserve any attention!
15. You want to go home and think about your life...
Ypip ,   Canada   (06.24.09)
16. wow
alan ,   texas   (06.24.09)
B.O. finally opened his mouth. isn't that brave.
17. So, Mr. President ......
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (06.24.09)
The violence in Iran "appalls" you? What are you going to do about it? Probably nothing .... you're all about the words and pressure on Israel. Pretty insubstantial in virtually everything else. You're a fraud, Mr. President. Why don't you just resign and save us the trouble of impeaching you?
18. Iran
Marilyn ,   USA   (06.24.09)
One thing is that we are not Iranians and can't fight their fight for them. If we did, we'd be like the bull in the coffee shop. However at the same time, we're not going to give them what they want as far as silence in this matter.
19. Barack Hussein Obama
David Rosenberg ,   New York, USA   (06.24.09)
Barack Hussein Obama likes to take the soft approach with fascist arab dictatorships while taking a hard-line approach on democratic, Jewish, Israel. He does not want the Iranian Regiem to fall...he wants them in place so that he can appease them by feeding Israel to them in exchange for their compliance with America's withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan. Muslim Obama wants to sacrifice Israel and appease despotic dictatorships, even when the subjects of those despots seek freedom.
20. Finally, some backbone
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (06.24.09)
Indeed, quite late and not too convincing, but maybe this is a good sign of things to come.
21. Willing Tools.
Dave ,   UK   (06.24.09)
The only difference here is that the Iranians protest against dodgy election results. Americans dont ! Who is the fool here ?
22. Too little, Too late!!!!
shadoil ,   Jerusalem   (06.24.09)
23. SYMBOLIC
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (06.24.09)
There was a time not to long ago, when the USA fought and protected the free world from dictators and fascists . As the USA has become a naion of debtors, leading to bankruptcy, its leadership, naming itself Democrats, has become morally bankrupt. Only after opinion polls showed that Mr Veneer was dropping in popularity, did he start his lip service. It is getting more apparent every day, that a very weak president is at the helm during very heavy seas world wide. One hopes that this will not lead to a serious shipwreck
24. Obama won't intervene, so others must. THE REGIME MUST FALL!
Wrecking Ball   (06.24.09)
The mullahs are demanding that the parents of protesters pay for the bullets used to kill their sons, or else they won't return the bodies. They even killed a ten year old boy with tear gas. Under the mullahs, the legal age of marriage for girls was lowered from 18 to 9. Yes, it's legal to marry a nine year old girl in Iran. The regime in Iran is vile. It's criminal. It's murderous. It's mysogynistic. It contributes nothing good to the world. It's a threat to its neighbours and its own people. Let there be no more mincing of words: THE REGIME MUST FALL. Netanyahu, DO SOMETHING. Obama won't. He's part of the problem. Act now. The time is NOW!
25. 2 lil 2 late, the americans see right through
ghostq   (06.24.09)
him, his rant is meaning less jibrish that cover for his lack of initiative.
26. Obama appalled... do us a favour
Mo ,   Iran (Not)   (06.24.09)
many in Iran now wish Bush was still in power. Obama- you are gutless. your actions will let freedom in Iran die. you are a weak leader of the western world. Harsh words... bla bla bla... the world want action!!!
27. All talk, No Walk makes Obama
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (06.24.09)
