Unless Obama can get Unemployment down to less than 8%, as he had promised when he received the stimulus money, an improvement in home sales, is able to tamp down the rampant inflation that's about to befall the U. S. economy HE WILL BE A FAILURE LIKE JIMMY CARTER (YEMACH SH'MO) His foreign policies have been a disaster, Iran laughs, N. Korea threatens, Russia outsmarted him with the Salt treaty, he talks a lot, overly bright he isn’t He's a Community Organizer, never worked a day in his life He just gave a dinner for the Chinese muck a muck, wine cost $399.00 per bottle I’ve never, ever seen an American President bow down to a foreign head of state, Obama bows likes he’s a waiter delivering a bottle of wine Obama is fiddling while the country is going to ruin Have you looked at the price of food & gasoline recently, UP UP & AWAY The packaged products you buy in the local market have less in content, even though You’re being charged more—I bought a bottle of Borscht, which formerly contained 32 oz., its 24 oz now, at the same price P.S. The Chinese pianist at the dinner played a song from the North Vietnam, which directly insulted the USA

Ben Jabo. The US is having problems, however we don't pay $8.00 a gallon of gas in the US like you Israeli's and don't drive the same small sh^t cars (Mazda 3) for almost 3 times the manufactured suggested retail price like a cult which barely have enough leg room to stretch your ball sack. We admit we are having problems but the prices in the US are a fraction of what they are in Israel for the most part. Obama inherited a disaster and you can't put the blame on him entirely. We will come out of this mess stronger hopefully and if we don't we can always drive little sh*t cars and make little sh*t salaries like the prime minister of Israel who earns less than a NYC suburban policeman.

You will regret leaving Canada and going to Israel if you are afraid of fuel prices. The Israeli's pay almost or more than $8.00 a gallon for gasoline almost 3 times the price in the US which is way to high to begin with. The Israeli government is giving the people there the high hard one when ever they bend over. A cheap sh*t car cost almost 3 times the price as in the States. If the Israeli government wanted to help its people it would stop subsidizing the religious wack jobs.
34. Sheik - You're stuttering
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.25.11)
Two posts virtually the same The Relgion is what kept the Jewish people together throughtout the years it was in the Diaspora Your posts are very inspirtation, however, inspiration isn't what counts, it's perspiration that's needed--I don't believe you're getting much excercise by pounding a keyboard

If it's up to Obama, you're well on the way to paying $8 for gas, the oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico have been shut down, and Obama said that under his administration the cost of fuels would RISE There are PULLENTY of small cars being peddled in the USA, people are buying them because they're fearful for the future cost of gas Car taxes are high in most of the world, if the car seems to cost less in the USA, it's because you're being taxed in so many other ways Look at what's happened to the Social Security recipients, no Cost of Living increases since 2008, none in the offing for the near future There ain't no free lunch Remember one basic fact, Government takes and only gives back a portion of what it takes Heard the latest about USPS, they're looking to close down THOUSANDS of Post Offices The PM of Israel doesn't give State Dinners with $399.00 bottles of wines, or allow entertainment by an Arab pianist that plays Anti-Israel tunes Nor does the PM grab a 747 Jumbo, Fly off to have dinner in NY at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars because he promised his wife a fine dinner in the big easy Vacations in Spain, costing millions, That’s Obama’s forte, Bibi wouldn't have the balls to take his wife to Aqaba in such a luxurious style One more thing, taxes are so high because defense is so damn expensive The military produces nothing, it can only defend, it doesn't grow a grape, Or make a falafel sandwich, it only eats them

@26 That is exactly what I said. America should go to war only to safeguard our borders. On Iraq that war is over and I can't say we won entirely, however when you capture a capital and hang its leader and occupy it's country it can't be called a total loss. Bibi is egging on the US to attack Iran. He should mobilize his 150lb 18 year old conscripts and let Israel spend it's blood and treasure to fight Iran. We don't want any part of Iran and want out of Afghanistan and Iraq as well.
