1. OBAMA IN WARSAW
steve RSA ,   JOHANNESBURG RSA   (05.27.11)
Electioneering????( A sure way of attracting the Jewish vote). Somehow me thinks that this time round, the American Jewish electorate will look for substantial changes in his policies towards his countrie's only reliable ally in the middle east.
2. Why would Walesa meet Obama?
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (05.27.11)
Walesa risked his life fighting communism in his own country. Walesa certainly doesn't buy into Obama's marxist-socialist policies and appeasment of the islamic fascists.
3. So, when's Oybama planning on visiting Israel?
Bless Israel ,   USA   (05.27.11)
after he loses the 2012 election or before?
4. O snubbed by hero of Polish Solidarity Movement
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (05.27.11)
Obama stabbed Poland in the back in 2009. On the 70th anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Poland, Obama announced he was abandoning plans to install missile defense systems in Poland and the Czech Republic - which had long been promised to them during GW Bush's presidency. Lech Walesa understands the meaning of freedom and its relation to security because he dedicated his life to fighting for these things. Walesa understands that the marxist Obama' s "efforts to promote democracy in North Africa...and elsewhere" is a dangerous pack of lies.
5. Great honor!!
David ,   America   (05.27.11)
Once again Lech Walesa brings honor to Poland! Stand firm against Marxists Jew haters who put on a show for election day.
6. Obama pandering Jewish Votes for 2012
rivka ,   los angeles USA   (05.27.11)
"What a wonderful visit. I'll have to bring my daughters," Obama said...... What a disgraceful, pathetic excuse for a human being. He is as fake as a $3 bill. There is NO DOUBT that he is USING the Warsaw Ghetto as a photo-op to appease AIPAC and the ignorant left liberals to pimp and pander Jewish votes and campaign funding, further exploiting Halina Szpilman, to "nail" the Hollywood campaign chest. And this, after manipulating Merkel, Sarkozy & Cameron - to MUSCLE Israel into accepting a "deal" for Statehood with terrorist organizations SWORN to the genocide of every man, woman and child in Israel, AND offering 'lip service' at the G8 summit to FUND them with a further $20 Billion dollars for their respective war chests. I am NOT surprised that Lech Walesa refused to meet him - after Obama reneged on a defense contract which would have accorded Poland protection from Putin's "new" KGB, whom Obama has now handed "access" to Libya's OIL , in a diabolical and underhanded "deal" between the UK, France & Germany, who, ironically were the MAIN supporters and perpetrators for the Holocaust - along with Russia's genocide against the Jews in Russia - AFTER the camps were liberated in Europe. The Arab "spring" is nothing but an Obama created springboard for his Islamo-Marxist ambitions - to give them unfettered access to the destruction of Israel. THANK YOU LECH WALESA - FOR CALLING A SPADE- A SPADE.
7.  To 3 - Probably Won't Visit
Mark ben Josuf ,   USA   (05.27.11)
Netanyahu made clear he would not be and is not welcome. And since he has no influence with the Palestinians any more, what would be the point of the travel.
8. I am shamed and,...
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (05.27.11)
somehow feel soiled by his false and shallow presence at this site. Like having a "hip hop" street person at a funeral. I have an internal sensor, that has been honed and fine tuned over many years, that tells me when somewhen is true, real or playing me. ZerObama is the fellow on the street corner with the foldup suitcase, full of counterfeit "Polex" watches and "Hermey" neckties, who will play Three Card Monte, or find the pea under the Walnet shell.
9. And soon he will bow and put a wreath on Arafat's grave
Disgusting ,   USA   (05.28.11)
He has to be "fair" to the Arab's too, right?
10. Obama in Warsaw
Isaac Shladosky ,   East Windsor, USA   (05.28.11)
To numbers one thru eight: Your irrational hatred of Obama has made you take a leave of absence from rationality no tto mention fair play. Too bad.
11. Obama wa fortunate
BENJABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.28.11)
He left the Ghetto in his own vehicle, without hunger pangs Most Jews that left, did so in truck & trains destined for the Nazi extermination camps, starging befroe they boarded the transports With Obama's policy towards Israel, it seem that he would like to emulate what the Nazi's did, in a more subtle manner, by removing Israel's ability to defend itself behind secure borders Obama is pure, unadulterated Crocodile tears, not a sincere bone in his body
12. Most of you Obama haters are racist.
Nick ,   NYC, USA   (05.28.11)
That's a fact. We have irrelevant references to "hip hop" from No. 8; as well as references to "pimp[s]" from No. 6. Fine. Obama has faced similar criticisms from Southern rednecks. But what you refuse to understand is . . . Obama's policy is *US* policy. We will continue to demand a two state solution, and other "concessions" that are anathema to the Israeli right. That's what average US voters demand. Our days of unquestioning support for Israel are over. Most reasonable Israeli Jews have already migrated to the US, so what you are left with in Israel is a largely a bunch of primitive, hyper-jingoistic and racist goons. Good luck without US support. We have our own problems.
13. Meaningless visit as he has pledged hundreds of ...
EST ,   Miami USA   (05.28.11)
millions of American taxpayers money to a country that has just openly established an official a nazi party!!!!
14. That is quite the read on Obama, Gideon Reader
Cameron ,   USA   (05.28.11)
Might want to have that "internal sensor" checked.
15. #10 Obama in Warsaw
Reuven ,   Israel   (05.28.11)
There cannot be any fair play where genocide is concerned.
16. 12 Nick - US Credibility with Palestinians - Dead
Mark ben Josuf ,   USA   (05.28.11)
Palestinians don't even care about our money anymore. So Israel and maybe Canada are on their own to bring the Palestinians to the table or live with the demographic and other issues. Watching Netanyahu with Obama was liking watching Lester Maddox explain why poll taxes are needed.
17. no 12 nick
unfair   (05.28.11)
all what you are saying is perfect, i am sure that it is electioneering step but obama like s israel and he is ready to defend not because of his willing but because of that he is applying the american policy not obama policy. many stupid and goony commentators what they need exactly, it is the favouring of disgusing and hostility just for that
18. after this jerk compared the suffering of 6 million
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (05.28.11)
Jews to Arab refugee does anyone beleives in his crocodile tears?
19. to#12
Anita ,   finland   (05.28.11)
You don´t have a peace in your heart. How have given you a racist attitude towards Israel??? Israel have same rights than any other leagal country in the world . How are you to tell Israel how they want to solve the palestinian issue. You want to give an independent country inside you Us boundaries to your enemy . If you are the one solve prblems I´ll bet you do.
20. Look who is talking
Joanna ,   California   (05.28.11)
And your irrational self hatred has long divorced you from the basic instinct of self preservation.
21. I have news for you, anti-Semite (#12)
Chris ,   Stanford, California   (05.28.11)
The land of Israel and the Jewish People have existed long before racists, primitive and anti-Semites like you came to this world. Israel survived without the USA and will survive no matter what. And just FYI, most Americans do support Israel, whether you like it or not. Being against Obama's policies does not make one a racist, but since loonies like you cannot focus on the issues, they blame everyone who does not worship this pitiful community organizer, empty suit wonnabe for being racist. So, OK. So be it. I am a racist and proud of it, and as an American I am ashamed of idiots like you.
22. He could take his sugar daddy Soros with him,
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (05.28.11)
an authentic witness of Holocaust.
23. 21 - Hasbara 101
Mark ben Josuf ,   USA   (05.28.11)
Calling somebody you disagree with an antisemite is low, even for somebody who attends a Junior University. Try a more cerebral approach next time.
24. #12
JL   (05.28.11)
we dont need you or your money...and by the way...i cant stand zerO...we do not need your "unquestioning support"....so do us a favour....go to hell
25. Wow! Husni Obama is not an "antisemite", he's against USA as
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.28.11)
well. It doesn't take an Einstein to figure that out (I'm no Albert myself). This demagogue Prez has been ingrained in the formative years of upbringing/education with values that are an anathema to most western societies.He'll take US down without the poor folks knowing what hit them.If you find it too difficult to contemplate just think of USSR's demise, the whole Eastern Block's collapse:almost overnight! Egypt comes to mind as well: who'd thunk that !? Shit happens so fast these days...I hope I am wrong.
26. #6, Rivka. I like your TB, but some facts are
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (05.28.11)
inaccurate. The camps were liberated mostly by the Red Army, many Jewish soldiers fought too. And there was NEVER Jewish genocide in Russia.
27. To #10 Most American voters support
jason white ,   afula, israel   (05.28.11)
Israel! We will not commit national suicide for anyone! Not even your jihadist in the White House. Anyone who left Israel is a coward like you. They left our land that we started rebuilding after 2,000in exile. b.o. only likes to visit monuments to Jews that were killed in the Holocaust. He would not come here to visit Jews that refuse to fight. We are armed and we will fight to the last enemy.He probably looks at the warsaw ghetto as a blueprint for his future for Israel. But he better remember what is written on the monument,"Never Again".
28. To #26 Tanya, you forgot about the pogroms?
jason white ,   afula, israel   (05.28.11)
Forced conversions, taking Jewish boys from their families at the ages of 5-6 for 25 years service in the czars army.How many never remembered that they were Jewish and we lost them. Fortunately stalin died before he could exile or kill the Jews of the u.s.s.r. Not to mention the religious and cultural genocide of the Jews under the commies.

birdi ,   israel   (05.28.11)
Loud applause for you Chris for a perfect post.
30. 27
birdi ,   israel   (05.28.11)
Kudos Jason. As long as Israel exists (& it shall) there will never be another Holocaust. We will never go down. Am Israel Chai.
