61. We can only imagine what Sarkozy says about Obama
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (11.09.11)
behind Obama's back. What does Obama sya about Sarcozy behind his back. What are Obama or Sarkozy saying about other world leaders.
62. mccain
steiger ,   grand rapids , usa   (11.09.11)
NeoCon McCain needs to go to Arizona and retire. And he should have done that years ago. Same thing with NeoCon Lindsay Graham. I can't stand either one of these war mongers and hypocrites. How could anyone vote for these NeoCons?
63. Prime Minister Netanyahu
DAVID ASLESON ,   MINNEAPOLIS USA   (11.09.11)
In Prime Minister Netanyahu speech at the United Nations, was all true. I had listened to the speech and know people are calling the Prime Minister a liar. President Obama please listen to the speech and tell the world if Prime Minister Netanyahu is not telling the truth.
64. Iran
jacqes jacobs ,   rio de janeiro, bras   (11.09.11)
All this reminds me when I was a kid. Germany armed itself to the teeth and the world did nothing. We saw and felt what happened . History repeat itself . Surely.
65. All of them are liars. Diplomacy is lying.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (11.09.11)
Hillarious Clinton and Obama were lying to get Israel to extend the building freeze. When Israel demanded that they put their promises on paper, that was the end of the episode. I am sure the French people can come up with Sarcozy's lies. I know that he is in favour of one of the biggest liars in the ME, Abbas. Birds of the feather flock together. Sarkozy loves Abbas' lies more than Bibi's. Then too, he loves the White House liar. Sarkozy should ask Obama why he was using the false name Harrison J Bounel. Well, maybe not because the answer he would get would be another lie.
66. Bibi is a leader that stands its ground
Jorge ,   Tegucigalpa   (11.09.11)
Has annoyed the French in their quest for Arab oil, and Barak Hussein Obama for the dressing down on the 67 borders issue, continue the good work Bibi, Israel is with you
67. Festering issue the survival of Israel
Jorge   (11.09.11)
Some people also saw the invasion of Checoslovakia, as a festering "problem", and look what happened, Israel will not allow its survival to be considered a festering issue, as a matter of fact, if Israel ever falls to the Muslims, Europe follows, so will the good ole U.S.A.
68. Who is a liar?
Yan ,   NYC, USA   (11.09.11)
It's a question who is a liar? It's obvious, any politician is a liar, including, of course, Sarcozy and Obama. Netanyahu wants peace, security for his country. PLO and Hamas, and who behind them, like Iran and the others never wanted peace with Israel, despite some of them talking about peace. So, who is a liar??? Sarcozy and Obama know there is not possible any peace between two if one of them doesn't want it. So, who is a liar??? Anybody knows that entity which is divided, doesn't have anything to sustain itself, doesn't have wish to prosper, and blaming it's neihbor, spreading hate all around should not accepted by UN. So, who is a liar???
69. Disgust with Obama and Sarkozy
Texana ,   Texas   (11.09.11)
Like many Americans, I made the mistake of voting for Obama, a mistake that I won't make in the next election. I am so sick of the US at this time that I am actually thinking of leaving the country and working overseas. Sarkozy is detestable. Everyone who objects to his character assassination of Netanyahu and his vote for the Palestinians should boycott France. Scratch France as a travel destination and boycott all French products! I'm not Jewish but I am a strong supporter of Israel!
70. How embarrassing. McCain should know Bibi is a liar too
Hostage   (11.09.11)
71. This bunch
BEK ,   US   (11.09.11)
Obama might have to deal with Bibi every day but all of us in America have to deal with this failure of a president every second. And Sarkozy--well he shares the views of his charming fellow Frenchmen, Beesheep Tou Tou and Jamay Cartier--skunks' skunks.
72. There is no sane reason to vote for Obama.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.09.11)
Obama has proven, once again, that he is an Israel hater. His management of the U.S. has proven he is either a complete incompetent or that he wants to take America down; perhaps on behalf of his Radical Islam masters. America has never known the economic devastation it is suffering under Obama; even during the Depression. There is no sane reason to vote for Obama.
73. #38. Obama is a huge liability for the U.S. and Free World.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.09.11)
#38. The U.N. counts for nothing. It is nothing more than a play thing of terrorists and tyrants. Israel would be demonized in the U.N., no matter who was Israel's P.M. This is historical fact. If you want to talk about huge liabilities; look no further than Obama. He is utterly destroying America. Obamacare is an unconstitutional disgrace. America's economy is blowing sky high. Obama is the liability; not Bibi.
74. why all the fuss? HE IS A LIAR. who didn't know that?
Rafi ,   US   (11.09.11)
75. Mccain
baba ,   NY   (11.09.11)
If the vets would of known how big of a coward Mr. Mccain going to be, they would of shot themselves rather than make him famous.
76. Diplomatic slip
John Robey ,   Austin, Texas   (11.09.11)
I don't get it....why the uproar...if Sarkozy has reason to believe that Bibi is a liar....why not express that to another world leader? Bibi probably is a liar. To acknowledge a perception about another ...even an unflattering one... does not mean you are anti Semitic blah blah blah. I have read elsewhere that Bibi at least mislead many in the US administration about his intentions for construction in Jerusaleum and the West Bank. Can you imagine some of the things Bibi has said about Obama and Sarkozy?
77. How it grieves my spirit that McCain was not elected US Pres
Rivkah   (11.09.11)
President when he made so many sacrifices and Obama couldn't even make a salute properly having never served in the US military. He saluted with his left hand or put his left hand over his heart instead of his right hand. Ycch. I am nauseated at the American voting public and am glad they got what they deserved, putting an illegal alien in the White House, an Indonesian citizen who never even was naturalized as a US citizen. What kind of crappy nation has the US become to elect such an undeserving person to the highest office of the land?
78. I voted McCain for a reason
Ron ,   oc, us   (11.09.11)
That being said, Obama has done some beefing up of Israeli forces and moved US military supplies forward as of late. Since his 67 borders gaffe Obama has gotten some religion as has Biden. I am just a little afraid of Obama if he gets a 2nd term-and he may.
79. #8 if you are right then it backfired. israel now will be
ralph   (11.09.11)
more in support of bibi and distrust the usa even more than it doe now. as for the french they are bastards from way back. never trusted them from day 1. and obama well he lost the middle east for the usa. finished what jimmy the peanut farmer began.
80. re: showing his true colors
Elisheva B. ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.09.11)
HAH! Anyone who voted for Nobama in 2008 should already be under psychiatric care!
81. ANY JEW VOTING FOR OBAMA IS
ARIEH ,   USA   (11.09.11)
BLIND AND DUMB......
82. Israel not interested in peace yet it is saying it is.
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.09.11)
So, Israel is lying, pure and simple. Since Likud under Begin came to power, "peace" has been a propaganda word, not a true intention. Maybe "lying" is a word that is too strong for this PM? How about "Netanyahu metahmen" ???
83. Obama, should only be so lucky
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (11.09.11)
To talk to Netanyahu so often as he states. Obama should be honored to speak with the courageous Netanyahu. Ne is the man Obama could never ever be.
84.  Two gossiping little men trying to act big
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (11.09.11)
Sarkozy lashes out at Bibi, as Sarkozy's insecurity and lack of backbone is revealed. Sarkozy cannot stand a strong and disciplined leader like Bibi, so he attacks him (behind his back ).
85. #16 HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD.
SETTHERECORDSTRAIGHT   (11.09.11)
86. BIBI..AS HONEST AS THE DAY IS LONG
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.09.11)
Sunset is in half an hour.
87. As if Obama and Sarkozy never lie
Zev ,   Israel   (11.09.11)
Obama made campaign promises to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and Sarkozy said that France would not vote for accepting the Palestinians into UNESCO just to name a few.
88. "o", Sarkosi, Bibi
noel ,   Ct. USA   (11.09.11)
Sad - bottom line? Money is ONLY driver of USA policy -- no regard to fairness, history, morality, decency, which is destroying the fabric of the USA too -- not only endangering the existance of Israel, Jews, Judaism. Greed has destroyed every previous empire & now is USA's time -- all self inflicted.
89. When did telling the truth become a sin
Dunkin Donuts ,   USA   (11.09.11)
Both of them were telling the Truth. Bibi is a Liar.. and dont forget Bibi has already shown his disdain for US policy when he visited a settlement and bragged how easy manipulating US policy was... Bigger issue I have is with the US jews who support AIPAC. You are pushing my country into positions that are not in my vested interests. US Jews are only interested in Israel. You will have to decide which side you are on... US or Israel... and they are NOT the same..... More and more Americans are tired of bankrolling your little statelet, losing our sons in your Proxy wars and basically taking all the brunt of the crap you stir up with the rest of the world... Thankfully there is more and more of an awakening among 'Ordinary' people and a realistaion that your pushing your luck....
