thank you peres.

Will we never be rid of this man? How on earth could a politician who has been so consistently wrong on almost every issue become the president of this country? Only an Olmert, by now almost a generic term for incompetence, could have maneuvered this discredited political hack & ego-maniac into the office of president. He sure as hell could not have been elected. I have no doubt Peres is thrilled with Obama as US president - both obfuscate reality with lots of liberal, pretty-sounding rhetoric that George Orwell would be proud of.

I hate to disappoint you, but this is a most unlikely possibility.

Pitty that he is black and not Jewish ... so be ready for a new chapter in US-JEWISH relations as your powerful lobby in the states will not be helping much this time. go back to 1967 borders and give Palestine its indipendence, don0t forget to take your taliban settlers.

Don't expect miracles from Obama. He cannot walk on water, heal the sick or cast out demons. The majority are usually wrong, so give it some time and his weaknesses will show. Meanwhile put your trust in God. He has never failed.

Barak Obama is not the descendent of slaves. He is Kenyan & half white anyway. While slavery was a great injustice, it was not merely an American practice. It could not have existed without the cooperation of native Africans themselves who had no problem selling captives to European slave-traders. Mention should also be made of the fact that slavery existed within Africa. Mention should also be made of the fact that slavery was big business in the Muslim world & continues even today. Slavery was not just a ''European'' phenomenon. I mention this only to give some perspective on Mr Peres' rather over-the-top comments.

1. Release Jonathan Pollard. The man served much more than his fair punishment. This was a promise made by Clinton which he failed to deliver. 2. Finally move the American embassy to Jerusalem. This is yet another promise that both Clinton and Bush failed to deliver. 3. Remove the Iranian nuclear threat, by whatever means necessary - diplomatic or military. This is yet another promise made by Bush. 4. Not pressure Israel into conceding the Golan to Syria. Let us deal with Assad by ourselves, we're not scared of him. 5. Giving Israel the green light to defend herself, in operations such as Cast Lead, when its security is compromised. 6. Reinforcing the moderate Palestinians who favor a peace agreement with Israel, and further isolating Hamas. 7. This would be nice, but not a must - selling F-22s to Israel. If Obama delivers on these points, it would make him the best friend we've ever had in the White House. I hope all those Arabists who gloat of how bad it's gonna get for Israel would be proven dead wrong.

OBAMA WAS ELECTED BY THE UNITED STATES, BUT AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE WAS CHOSEN BY THE WHOLE OF HUMAN KIND. if Obama was chosen by the whole of human kind does this mean anybody that didn't choose him is not a member of the human race? When is Peres going to retire, his memoirs telling us how sucessfull oslo has been and just keep his mouth shut and stay out of politics. The man is 85 already .. only in Israel will a politican keep going till the day he dies. Peres little statement at the end about Obamas election being a correction for slavery may even be considered racist . The black man has made president ... not the man has made president.

...but then we knew that already.

...of slavery' in any respect whatsoever anyway. Simpleton. Mediacentricity and hippies everywhere. They have killed us.

Obama is going to screw you soon.

financial nightmares that has ever occured since FDR. He's going to be buried under this fiasco by the press and the people. I can only imagine having to live in a high priced condo, with the entire nation screaming about jobs and the loss of their entire retirement program. Somebody has to be the pinyatta in the White House. Next........! Whack!!!! He does go on a list of other guys who wanted to be popular. A lot of them didn't do much either.

I don`t remember....? It sounds like NWO talk.!?

And being from ashdod you can expect alot more rain in the future.... Stay safe

So you want Obama to do everything Israel wants without interference but are quite happy to keep receiving US cash and support ?

We are watching the death of the West, and every moron with a guilt complex has to try and make this out to be something good. B Hussein will be the death of Israel. The guy is an empty suit with no experience at anything. Watching BHO take over as our new Precedent (that's not a typo) is as watching a new nuclear aircraft carrier steam out of port with 12-year old captain whose only qualifications are that he used to play with rubber ships in the bathtub. This is a terrible day for the West.

Obama suffers from multi-personality disorder, he thinks he is John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Karl Marx,and Jesus

It was more like just the media and the socialists & leftist trumbaniks, than humankind, so please stop with the dopey pronouncments you silly old fool. Dont you have a Socialist International Meeting to go to or something?

Are you sure Mr Peres? I do not remember "CHOOSING" Obama,not that my opinion counts for jack.Never mind though,Obama or no Obama I am relieved to see the back of Bush who did enough damage.

"He was chosen by the whole of mankind"???? WHY OH WHY are we Israelis soooooooooooooooooooooo dramatic?

#15 - Ironically, your wish to me has only proven how legitimate my requests are. If I am to "expect more rain in the future", that means that Israel's security would be compromised, and thus America must not stop Israel from doing whatever it takes to ensure my safety here in Ashdod... And since I see that you care so much about my safety, then you certainly would agree with me on this matter... #16 - "everything Israel wants" is not some extravagant Christmas or Hannuka presents. These are very legitimate requests, some of which were explicitly promised by American presidents. Releasing Pollard and moving the embassy do not cost a dime for you. These are mere gestures of respect and recognition. Dealing with the Iranian threat is your own concern as much as it is ours. And letting us defend ourselves does not cost any American blood, as some Americans made this libel regarding the Iraq War. As for isolating Syria and Hamas, that's hardly asking much, guess who put them in the axis of evil in the first place? Oh, and regarding that "US cash" you talked about - well it is actually only military aid, given as subsidies for American defense industries from which Israel orders the military goods. I wish all Americans would be as friendly and supportive as you two...

the very ones that sold africans as slaves to their early colonial masters in the usa. now obama has become the new master of america thanks to the majority vote coming from the very sons of the slaves that his forefathers sold to the new world. when obama returns to his roots i wonder who the next generation of slaves are that will be sold out?

The man will be poison in 12 months. Corrupt, socialist, incompetent, totally unqualified for the position by all counts. No foreign affairs experience, no domestic experience, certainly no executive experience. The single worst choice America has made since Jimmy Carter, and Carter was qualified. Obama may be poison in the next year, I just hope Israel isn't toast!

You are correct on every point except #6. Appeasement of moderates is a mistake. They are wolves in sheeps clothing. They will bite you later. They want to destroy you. Check their charter. Eretz Yisra'el is for the 12 tribes only. To divide the land in any way with the enemy is a violation of Torah and will only bring you destruction.

thank god you dont have time to read this whiny little posts by angry jews..... USA loves you OBAMA !!!!
