Obama has never followed the United States Constitution. Indeed, he has violated the Constitution on many occasions. He is consulting Congress only because as a coward he does not want to take the blame if things do not go well.
62. Israel is on her own
CJK   (09.09.13)
israel will have to face iran on her own. the cowardly snake obama will do nothing to stop iran's nuclear weapons program. never has the us had such an unworthy president. his extreme arrogance begets weakness and his weakness begets arrogance. he bullies the week or the presumed weak but cannot face the strong.
63. Worry

64. Weak, Unreliable and Bad
Brod ,   USA   (09.09.13)
Hussien the Islamist is not just weak and unreliable but bad for America and Israel. It is time Israel says NO to his manipulations that are detrimental to the Land of Israel. Israel must defend every inch of its liberated Historic and Biblical Homeland-Judea and Samaria-Land of Israel from external dark forces and the wolves.
65. Obama is actually very reliable..., to continuously place...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.09.13)
...pressure on Israel to make concessions to the Arabs and making risky steps that can affect adversely Israel's very security. But, of course, when one graduates from the Rev. J. Wright University of Chicago, you ought to expect this attitude toward the Jews. Too bad the Jews of America have been refusing to face reality!!
66. Obama
Walid ,   Spain   (09.09.13)
Bravo! Shula Horing perfectly describes the impotence of the US Administration and its coward president Obama. This is the weakest US president ever who gambled and lost US credibility not only in the Middle East but also worldwide. Now that we all know that we cannot rely on the US to resolve our problems, Israel should immediately help establishing the Palestinian state, a thorn that needs to be removed after decades of conflict, make peace with the Arab World and form an alliance against Iran and its cronies. If Israel and the Arabs do not compromise now, they will be facing continuous instability in the Middle East that could lead to very vicious and dangerous wars in the near future.
67. In Syria, the good guys r no beteer than the bad guys ...

68. #66 "Palestine" has been demoted to one step above
A ,   Belgium   (09.09.13)
forgotten. "Palestine" would simply be another corrupt, violent, terrorist moslem state, ruled by fighting factions (Syria and Egypt as "role models") and there are enough and too many of those already. Israel is has no responsibility to "immediately help establishing the Palestinian state", which is presently ruled by the illegal Hashemite king. It's time for the moslem states to first recognize Israel as the Jewish state and accept its basic and fundamental right to exist in peace. When the arabs are ready to compromise on THAT point, than maybe there will be hope for peace. In the meantime, the instability that is occurring in the ME is caused by the arab states alone, Israel remains unaffected, though always alert. Don't expect Israel to get involved in your messes, and you would in the best interest of the arab states, and "palestine", not to involve Israel in your messes.
69. Syria Israel and the US
John Robey ,   Austin Texas   (09.10.13)
The Likud Hawks are always pushing to attack....everthing is an "existential threat." To be honest Syria is no threat to the US. Assad the a-hole is battling Al Quieda (sp.?) another a hole. It is like watching the Nazis and the Communists kill one another in the forties. Why should we get involved? If Israel wants to kill some people and blow some shit up well have at it...leave us out of it.
70. It All Fits Together
A.C.Guard ,   USA   (09.10.13)
Obama the socialist, Muslim, community organizer whose vital records are sealed for generations, became President due to John McCain, the Manchurian Candidate, who ran one of the worst campaigns in recent political history. It all fits togetjher very nicely. The free world will suffer for years because of this, but wasn't that the goal.
71. what can you expect from a country of morons ?
Philippe ,   Raanana   (09.10.13)
Bush Jr was an ignorant , Obama is a snobbish leftist darling of the liberals, both are worthless, superficial , well-groomed , ineffective, character.After R.Reagan the USA are declining .Their leadership is void, futile, frivolous.For Israel it's time to think and act alone.But our leadeship was not much better; Peres a dangerous dreamer, Barak a goofy operator, Sharon lost his mind, Olmert corrupt and cynical.So our destiny rest on Bibi, the prankster....
72. Fate, Philippe
Cameron ,   USA   (09.10.13)
Gas mask times.
73.  Russia lets Obama off the hook
Avraham ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (09.10.13)
Russia became the leader of the free world. They are the ones who saved their client Assad from being attacked and demoralized by suggesting that he will surrender its chemical weapons. What a joke! How do ever know if he surrenders everything . How much is enough to let Obama off the hook. You are right, Shoula, Obama continues to be so weak.
74. #72 Stop with the schadenfreude, Cammy
Logic ,   Israel   (09.10.13)
US economy going down the drain and getting stuck with no health insurance or substandard care is much much more of a risk than getting gassed in Israel. Hope you have a stable job!
75. #1
Leonard ,   Green River, U.S.A.   (09.10.13)
Despite my best effort to come up with something new & profound, I just can't improve on the comments by #1. Any serious reading, or studying of American history will reveal the truth of his comments. As for attacks on Obama......... George Washington & Abe Lincoln had it worse, and history proved them to be our best Presidents.
76. I agree
Robert Busika ,   Kampala, Uganda   (09.10.13)
I agree with you. I am one of the Africans that got so excited at Obama's election but this Mr. Nice guy will never stop Iran. Israel should prepare to pull off another surprise to the world by stopping Iran by itself. Trust not Mr. Obama.
