1. Foreign Policy is a NON-Issue
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (11.01.14)
Foreign policy and Iran are not issues in the November election. In Kansas, the Senate issue is whether a Kansan should represent Kansas. In Colorado, one candidate is about women's rights, the other is about whether the first is Obama. The issues vary by state. Republicans were supposed to sweep everything, but they put their bat-sh*t crazy candidates on the ballot in some states. No witches this year, but just as crazy. Foreigners endorsing candidates or parties frequently backfires. Ask President Kerry about his British newspaper endorsements and the British petitions for him.
2. Seems like mr Sotero..
Beary White ,   Norway   (11.01.14)
..on the colored house is THE traitor to the civilized world. He is following in the footsteps of the traitor el Baradai, and taking the world further down into crisis. Soteros gifts of speech has betrayed the US people and the world. But it's quite remarkable that no-one in US has made a hit on him... Soteros legacy will be wars, wars, wars..even with the Nobel Peace Price in his pocket. And, the weak leader of the leftist government, who gave him the peace price, is now commanding NATO (with the blessing of Sotero..) In the days to come we will see some joint and dangerous decisions being made by two power-erratic minds..
3. Hhusein Obama
Moshe ,   Israel   (11.01.14)
I will not be surprised if one day it is discovered that the current U.S. president is actually a Muslim.

5. REALITY CHECK . . .
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (11.01.14)
The simple reality is regardless which political party controls the houses of congress and what ever weird bills they try to pass, the US Congress is completely impotent when it comes to Iran for several BASIC reasons: - There has been no direct economic activity between the US and Iran since 1979, so Congress can not add any further direct sanctions. - Any further attempts to use the US controlled global banking system will allow China to succeed in getting the US dollar removed as the global currency, causing MAJOR damage to the US economy. Several countries are already laundering money for Iran and the number will just increase and there is exactly ZERO the congress critters can do about it. - By the end of 2014, most of the existing third-party sanctions will have disappeared because other countries do not care what the US wants. Sure the congress critters can try to punish the countries that deal with Iran, but those countries also have a ability to severely punish US companies, such as Apple, IBM, HP, Google, Coke, McDonalds and the list goes on. The bottom line is congress critters can rant against Iran all they want, but they have no real actions they can take except declare war, which will get each and every one of them severely beaten by the US public. In reality the congress critters know that war is impossible so there are not enough votes to make it happen. The reality is no matter what Israel wants, it is not going to get it when it comes to Iran, no matter how many slurs are aimed at Obama.
6. Obama Harms America
Jason, Ph.D. ,   Charlotte, USA   (11.01.14)
I cannot think of a U.S. president who has dome more harm to American interests than Obama. A nuclear-armed Iran will make ISIS look like a kitten. If you really want to embarrass Obama, then lobby Congress for a declaration of war against Iran. Congress had the constitutional power to declare war.
7. Joey Goldfarb is 100 % RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
