The plans laid out are pretty much boilerplate for any Presidential movement.. What is more interesting is what goes on behind closed doors...wait for the spin machine tto kick into full gear! Yes it takes a village but in the case of the US it is a well oiled village! The WH advance team is top notch and local political staffers should learn from them. Our political leaders should also take notice. Take bits and pieces and act more professionally. As a recovering politicoholic who's done advance for VIP's from Teddy to John Paul. I look forward to the President's visit and hope it leads to a new era! We will wait and see!

wont mean beans if this pro muslim presidente' opens his mouth and 'demands' or 'expects' any more Israeli concessions to pal terrorists. he then, may as well have stayed home and saved the US tax payers another fortune for doing nothing.' obama in Israel? Expect conflict of his own making. only obama has bowed to the Saudi King.. Not since Thomas Jefferson who initiated the hand shake instead of the bowing. obama offers his neck, Thomas Jefferson and all US Presidents since, have offered their hand. Says it all....

Samira Ibrahim is set to receive the US Women of Courage Ward. According to news reports this woman praised 9/11, supports AL-Qaeda, is Antisemitic and Anti-American! She has even had the gall to acknowledge her "tweets" and has refused to apologize! Like the State Deportment didn't know about this when they planned the award! Nice going Mrs. Obama. Maybe instead of a welcome, we should see sign "Yankee Go Home!" With friends like Obama, who needs enemies?

that all will be well only if he speaks according to the word of God that Israel build airport in Jerusalem to attract investment and jobs, not that Israel is not rich towards God but you have to give to receive.

And will a separate jet bring "Bo," the presidential doggie? And what about Michelle? Wouldn't she love to sun it up in Eilat; enjoy a shopping spree in TA?

His highness, King Hussein Obama

Has Israeli burocracy been notified on the upcoming visit? Wouldn't want to insult Obama the way you did Biden with the anouncement of another major tender for houses in shall we say for the sake of argument, disputed territory?

Are you still living in the stone age ? How do you Obama is a Muslim and if so what is wrong with being a Muslim or a Bhudist . Do not you believe in the freedom of religion?

No matter what you say Obama is the President of the most powerful country on earth. Wise-up

It will be a huge problem for Israel if they insult President Obama and really I don't know why the US kept quite when they insulted Joe Biden.

You would not have written your comment if you are charged one penny per word. President Obama was elected and re-elected and dumped the guy you supported. He is the President of the most power country on earth. Wake-up

Was God a real estate agent to give a land you always talk about. Were is your deed you received from God. Fools imagine a lot but cannot proof if they right.

Oh, yes, for sure. We saw that wonderful American power on display in Somalia, and we're watching it now in Afghanistan. Wise up. The U.S. is coming to pay homage in the face of the oncoming inslaught upon Iran, in which Israel will play the major role. Isn't it a good thing that Netanyahu will not require Obama to kneel and kiss his ring the way the Saudi king did? Well, THAT wasn't embarrassing to the United States, was it?

Actually, the State of Israel isn't interested in embarrassing anyone. Obama tends to bring it upon himself. I mean, really -- kneeling before the king of Saudi Arabia and kissing his ring? If that isn't embarrassing, I don't know what is. By the way -- Joe Biden is a lackey. You should read what John Adams had to say about the vice presidency. Oh! One more thing. It's "quiet," not "quite." I see your language skills are about as good as your arithmetical skills. I repeat: However did you manage to escape the first grade?

Replace "powerful" for "power" and "wake up" for "wake-up" and you just might manage to move up to the second grade. Depending on your arithmetic, of course. That's not so good, as you have so determinedly proven. By the way -- you are wrong in one respect. Israel runs the show in the Middle East. Make no mistake about that.

I think you mean "where" as opposed to "were," and "prove" as opposed to "proof," but the answer is easy. Read the Bible, fool. Then, you can buttress that brand-new knowledge with archaeological history and well-documented writings. Care to start with Josephus? Of course, you'll need a vocabulary -- not to mention insight -- far greater than that which you so sadly possess. Tell me -- was the Almighty a real estate agent to allow you to steal land from the natives? Can you produce a deed or two or three or five thousand? Harold -- you are seriously overmatched on this website. Why don't you crawl off to Al Jazeera and spout your idiocy there? Don't you ever get tired of being humiliated all the time? How many times must I kick you to the curb before you develop some understanding of your idiocy?

How low can a bozo fall? And you dare to mention the IT you believe in? I feel ashamed for you as an American and regret I cannot use stronger curses than "bozo" in this comment. Just think, this President is giving you shelter, is maintaining your comfortable existence, is making sure you wake up tomorrow. Wake up for what?

I think you mean "wife is dog." Not sure if you're writing about Michele or Bo, though. I'm not entirely sure it matters. In fact, I'm pretty certain it doesn't. We can put either one in doggy day care for the requisite time.

I'm not sorry that I insulted your failed black messiah (per Spike Lee: the black Jesus)! You two liberal, ignorant bozos' are the reason America is declining rapidly because of Obama's failed socialist, Marxist, (black liberation theology) policies! You two godless heathens' have your nose so far up his butt, I don't know where you begin and he ends! You two little boys can keep holding onto his shirttails...all the way to Hell! Because, that's where this Muslim is going, along with all the others! How do you like me, now?!!!!!!!

The young lady, Sara B., is right: you're too ignorant to learn, so just shut-up and keep your senseless musings to yourself, and let those with better cognizant abilities proffer their ideas on these forums! In other words, little child: go away!!!

How water conservation is practiced at the White House: he only washes his upper body, as the press will "wash" the part below the belt ;-)

I read your messages... particularly Sarah for several years now...it seems that neither of you is capable of a rational, balanced discussion. Obama, whether you like him or not is the President, and his position deserves the respect and protection accorded throughout history. Israel's leaders for the most part have have gone out of their way to support and work with the administration in order to nurture the relationship between the two countries as much as possible given the uncommon challenges that exist. Your ongoing rhetoric is not the example Israel's founding fathers would be proud of for the Jewish State.

I have a great deal of respect for the office of the president. Not so much for the current holder of that office. Think of it this way: to me, the concept of the judiciary that has evolved in the United States is what has made the United States a great country. I have an extraordinary amount of respect for the robe. It does not necessarily mean that such respect extends to a particular individual wearing the robe. Similarly, I have a great deal of respect and admiration for the field of medicine. That respect did not extend to certain of its practitioners -- Mengele, Habash and Rantizi (may all their names be cursed throughout eternity). If the concept is too difficult for you to grasp, perhaps you can join Harold in elementary school. You need considerably more education than that which you demonstrate before you attempt to lecture me. On anything.

obama's rejection to address the knesset is a huge insult to the people of israel. obama is highly mistaken if he thinks that he can sweet talk israelis whose lives are threatened on a daily basis. obama's meddling in israel's affairs and his concessions to iran will not sit well with the vast majority of israelis. any further attempt by obama to bully israel will be rejected even by most left wing israelis.

Peers of the accused are the ones who can judge him/her objectively despite the shenanigans of the legal personnel. When left to the judges, the American legal system gets a barely passing grade. No wonder, judges come from the best of attorneys and most of attorneys aren't worth the tuition they paid (and the scholarships they received) at school.

The founding fathers of Israel were under the arms embargo of the "Magnificent" President Truman while the Brits wanted to stifle the nascent State. It was Stalin's arms shipment that saved Israel. The founding fathers must have had an opinion that you Obama-lovers wouldn't like. Israel was embargoed by America during all her existential wars;- Nixon relented in the end for fear of a nuke war. Your high horse riding arrogance is nauseating.

Can you spell "bench trial," Michael? And that's just the lower courts. There are no juries in the appellate courts, Michael. Just lawyers, arguing the appeals. Sigh. Any more stupid comments to make, Michael, or have you reached -- and exceeded -- your daily quota? Keep giving me grist for the mill, dear. I'm more than happy to accommodate you.
