31. I agree with you
Nechama ,   Sydney, AU   (01.14.13)
And if he manages to destroy the liberty of the American people, everyone else everywhere will suffer. Tyrants only want totalitarian rule, and the globalists are working to entrap us all.
32. Typical leftist blah blah blah
Nechama ,   Sydney, AU   (01.14.13)
Only leftists actually believe that a weak USA is good for anyone. Both Hegel & Obama want that. All globalists want that.
33. Obviously
Nechama ,   Sydney, AU   (01.14.13)
You work for the hard left. Obama is configuring the USA to fail and fall. Just what you leftists have been working towards since you were born.
34. Cut expenses?
Nechama ,   Sydney, AU   (01.14.13)
"Obama needs to cut back on expenses in order to bring America back to its fighting weight. " Surely you are asleep. Obama is doing everything he possibly can to destroy what's left of the US economy and weaken the military so the entire nation can fall. He's the most dangerous enemy America, and freedom, has ever had.
35. Wrong choice
Nechama ,   Sydney, AU   (01.14.13)
America has been a force for good. Cheer for Obama to destroy it, and see how fast some tyrant invades your country and puts you in chains forever.
36. Obama
Brod ,   USA   (01.14.13)
Obama is bad for America, Israel and the Free World. Already he is weakening America's strength by cutting billions of dollars from the Pentagon budget. Congress should wake up and impeach him before it is too late.
37. rob, Orangevale USA, Typical arrogant leftwing
Yosi ,   Gilo-Jerusalem   (01.14.13)
Elitist. Keep defending Obamba, it'll do you no good when he reaches his goal of bringing the US to its knees.
38. Yosi, What's it gonna take...
rob ,   Orangevale USA   (01.14.13)
I could give a rats ass about Obama. I didn't vote for him and dont care for his style at all. Yeah, he has an agenda same as Israel has an agenda To call me 'left wing' is as stupid as it gets and only proves how little about the US the Israeli's seem to know. It's pathetic..What I keep hammering you guys on is, that the president works for he people. If you dont like Obama that's fine, I dont care. One of the stupidest comments Ive ever read from you Yosi is that Obama or anybody else short of total nuclear nuclear attack will 'bring us to our knees". 600,000,000 people live in my country Yosi, I dont have to defend Obama, just my country and my family. Get it this time? Shalom Israel, Rob
39. #37 Yosi, one more thing...
rob ,   Orangevale USA   (01.14.13)
You lead your TB with a single word. "Elitist." I would invite you into my home anytime you come to my country. I am a regular American with 4 children and 4 grandchildren, I own and run a medium size Auto body and paint shop, and love Israel, as anyone that reads my occasional posts can plainly see. Elitist I'm not. Honest I am. It is wrong of you to characterize anyone that doesn't swallow your drivel as 'Elitist'. I just work hard to support my family, pay my taxes and go hunting and fishing when I can grab a son and a little time off work. Elitist no, realist with a full understanding how the institutions of my country works, yes. In the end we shall see which nation will 'go to it's knees" and I can only pray to the one G-d that it is neither your country or mine. Shalom Yosi Shalom Israel, Rob

Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.14.13)
Obama had nothing to do with getting Bin Laden. Clinton and Panetta had to go behind his back to get the job done. Chaim's post was a good one because it is the truth.
41. #40 left coast...
rob ,   Orangevale USA   (01.15.13)
Yeah, the president doesn't know anything right eagle beak? He doesn't get a security briefing every morning, and the Sec's of defense and state run the show all by themselves with no oversight or accountability!? Yours is the stupidest American post I've ever had the displeasure of responding to, and from reading a years or so worth of your posts, that opinion is based on solid evidence. Clinton is gone . Panetta is gone. The president gave the order to kill Bin Laden. Does the Sec of anything in this country have the authority to order anything concerning national security, with out the presidents signature? NO. That president got re-elected. Period. He wasn't my choice, but as an American, I now back him to the death. He also goes over the drone kill list and personally authorizes each and every one. This is a good thing since there can be no whining about who gave the order, except from you. Don't act as if this isn't readily available info, because it is. Eagle beak. What a disgrace to an eagle. The job of Bin Laden is done. I dont care a bit who killed him. In fact it was every single American taxpayer, of which Chaim is not. You can say whatever you want, it is you right. Shalom Israel, Rob Shalom Israel, Rob
42. # 41
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.15.13)
Yes Rob, Obama gave the order to kill Bin Laden however he did not give the final approving order.(When the Seals had captured Bin Laden, they needed the go-ahead to kill Bin Laden ) That was printed in every newspaper world-wide. It was H.Clinton & Panetta who gave their approval. Eaglebeak is correct. I have never read a ''stupid" post from Eaglebeak on this site. Whether Chaim is an American taxpayer or not, he has as much a right to his opinion as you have.
43. To Rob @ 40!
Z.Z. Coltrane ,   USA   (01.15.13)
I can tell you're one of Obama's lovesick, worshiping sycophants! I can't believe you can write and actually put-forth the notion Obama has done anything positive; you're just as delusional as your black messiah! You need to accept the fact that your great social experiment has failed: Obama is no MLK or Lincoln! He's more along the lines of the racist Malcolm X and Louis Farakhan. As long as liberal trash, like you, continue to drool over Obama's every lying word, the greater the risk of America succumbing to the socialistic forces that seek to destroy my country. Shame on all you liberal, socialistic garbage! Don't worry, Rob...you'll be getting your welfare check in the mail this week, along with the foodstamps that help support your lazy arse. Uncle Obama wouldn't want it any other way!
44. To Rob in Orangeville!
Taz Man ,   USA   (01.15.13)
Get your facts straight! The only reason the US has been blessed is because of its Judeo/Christian tenets that the country was founded upon, along with how we always helped and supported, in most cases, God's chosen people--Israel. America is dying; its demise is guaranteed because of Obama's violation of God's foreign policy as stated in Genesis 12:1-3 (read it!). Israel and Jerusalem are eternal, just like God's Holy Word promises. It's godless clowns like you who support a Muslim and anti-Semite like Obama and mistakenly call it patriotism. You're an idiot! I'm jumping a sinking ship (America); you can go down with it if you want! My trust is in the Lord and not in a two-bit, wannabe, dictator (Obama). God bless, Israel and His Jerusalem!!! A Christian Zionist
45. Sorry, Rob...@ Orangevale...not Orangeville!
Taz Man ,   USA   (01.15.13)
But...who really cares--I don't...since California, along with other liberal watering-holes, is the epicenter of mindless futility! California is the proven model (along with Detroit) of the misguided, failed attempts of Democratic liberalism! Again, your experiment in having a black president and his socialistic ideology has failed miserably.
46. #6. You can't spin the fact that Obama is destroying America
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.15.13)
All you need to do is compare the state of America when Obama was inaugurated in 2008 to the state of America today. Look at any objective criteria: unemployment, deficits, food stamp usage, bankruptcies...anything. You can't spin the fact that Obama is destroying America.
47. So US won't be doing Israel's dirty work any more.
WikiMiki   (01.15.13)
48. #46, The US if fine, The US is fine, The US is fine, The US
