61. BE THANKFUL. When he visits if re-elected, it will
Rivkah   (10.27.12)
likely be to announce he is god when he is not when he visits the rebuilt Third Temple that is rebuilt offsite. The last thing Israel should want is for BHO to visit.
62. #55 Maybe...
Edwin   (10.27.12)
...it is simply because the NL is not considered a good friend of the USA!
63. Af al pi ken, Obama will win. Take my mila.
Michael ,   California, USA   (10.27.12)
64. I worry R will win majority but O will fix electoral college
Alan ,   SA   (10.27.12)
I dont trust this 2 week voting business before the Main Election Day... It is designed for Vote rigging... Whose watching what gets stuffed in the boxes/handles pulled.

66. onana
jacob cohen ,   stony brook .ny.   (10.27.12)
.he would not say or allow his admin. to say Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish state.no visa for you
67. Obama visit to Israel
Isaac Shladovsky ,   East Windsor,   (10.27.12)
To ll you ill informed haters of President Obama I want to say FOUR MORE YEARS
68. What is that I smell....?
Gideon Reader   (10.27.12)
OMG!!! Zero's "huizen"(sic) are smoking! I would seek an indepentent laboratory test to determine if water was wet, if the pretender to the alleged leadership of the U.S. asserted that it was indeed more than damp. I assume Adon Benhorin really REALLY has a need for the cash.
69. Why should he?
Phil ,   PA USA   (10.27.12)
Obama knows the Jewish vote is his no matter how he treats Israel. The majority of Jews are in favor of liberal supported social policies and see those policies as more important than support for Israel. They rationalize this attitude by citing Obama literature that stresses the amount of military aid that the US gives to Israel and fail to recognize that the aid is authorized by congress. They also become irrational and go into denial when congfronted by Obama's shabby treatment of Netanyahu, and the almost hysterical outpouring of vitriol by Biden and Hillary Clinton over preliminary permits issued for building in East Jerusalem. Actually, anything that Obama does for israel is a justification for voting for him. This blind allegiance to the Democrats is not good for the Jewish community as Jews are taken for granted by the Democrats because they know the Jewish Democratic vote is secure.
70. Courting the Muslim vote?
Mark ,   Cleveland USA   (10.27.12)
2.1% of Americans are Muslims, and they are not a very influential population. So your theory that President Obama turned his back on 40% of Americas billionaires (2% of the population are Jews) to court Muslims silly. People who graduate at the top of their class at Harvard Law School are not that stupid.
71. #69 Phil, Thanks, I will buy my second hand car from you.
Michael ,   California, USA   (10.27.12)
72. Answer for everything except... Pollard !
Roland Seener ,   London England   (10.27.12)
73. #59 Once again Biden sticks foot in mouth
Cynthia ,   USA   (10.27.12)
Diplomacy does not mean telling Israel where to build a housing project. Does your country ask US approval before construction begins? Does Biden believe Israel is a US property? If Biden was on a goodwill mission he would not have stuck his big nose in Israel's plans for expansion of an existing community. It's not as if the Palestinians have participated or intend to negotiate. Terror attacks trump any negotiations. And yes, Obama should have visited your country to build alliances with European countries. His trips have been to Arab/Muslim countries and lavish vacations on the taxpayer dime. Yet another example of his failed leadership.
74. Yes, please don't ever come again
Ted   (10.27.12)
Israel does NOT need Obama. He is SO bad with his Middle-East policy - he has failed in his assessment of so called Arab Spring, including what happened in Egypt. Even if there is progress in peace process, do NOT come. We do NOT welcome Obama.
75. #53
Harold ,   USA   (10.27.12)
I am a Republican but voting for Obama. Obama is a great presiden and wins for sure. Americans don't wont Romney because he is not considered a Christian but he does use Christian Baptism procedures to Baptize dead Jews.
76. #5 and #43 you really need a geography lesson
leslie ,   ashqelon israel   (10.27.12)
Depending on the source you use and in which year you use it, the number of countries stands at around 195 and has for several years. So no there are not "100s of countries he has to visit". And supposedly we are supposed to be friends, so if we are in fact friends - he has no excuse for not dropping by in over 3 1/2 years.
77. Obama's visit to Israel
Dwight Osborne ,   Elon, USA   (10.27.12)
If our relationship with Israel is so much stronger than ever before, why is it they don't trust us? Answer: because they can't. Obama's got Israel's back alright; he's just waiting to plunge that knife into it.
78. Obama and Israel
Yoel Nitzarim ,   Skokie, USA   (10.28.12)
What utter nonsense. The president should visit the US's closest ally to speak to the people in person and share with them his sentiments in person. He is the leader of the Free World; accordingly, his very presence in Israel is a powerful statement that Israel is America's closest ally. To put a wedge in between the relationship between the US and Israel based on the failed peace process sends a signal to Israel's enemies that Israel is responsible for the failure of the peace process, a statement which is not only fallacious, but utterly indefensible.
79. INFIDEL'S
Ken ,   Idaho USA   (10.28.12)
The AMERICAN people and the Jewish people are all infidel's to BARACK HUSAINE OBAMA
80. Why Obama doesn't to to Israel
John ,   Las Vegas, USA   (10.28.12)
I know why Obama doesn't come to Israel. He is a Muslim. He said so on u tube. Search, "Obama admits he is a Muslim". He has worn a ring since childhood, inscribed,"There is no god but Allah"
81. Obamas non-visit to Israel
Michael ,   USA   (10.28.12)
We have learned in the USA that Mr Obama means the exact opposite of what he says. We have also learned that he will sell his soul or the soul of the Republic for a vote.
82. OBAMA 2016 - SEE THE MOVIE
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (10.29.12)
You'll start to udnerstand what Obama is and what his background is He HATES AMERICA !!
83. To #8
MJ   (10.30.12)
I really hope you are wrong!!!!! I hope the Jews in USA have open their eyes on who this impostor=slanderer really is; during his presidency he took off his mask and showed his real ugly evil face. If Jews in US didn't see it and they vote for him again; they will sadly pay the tuff price. I don't worry about Israel, knowing G.OD almighty is with us, instead you Americans should worry for US, for G.OD's jugement is falling upon you!!!
84. LIKE WHAT A ONE WORLD ANTI-CHRIST GOVERNMENT PERHAPS ??
Esther ,   Selkirk Canada   (01.22.13)
