Even with a pair of those teleprompters he he can be less than impressive. Just consider his 70+ minutes state of the union address. If the content is weak, so is his performance. Put on the spot he can be left flustered and stumbling. I caught a few excerpts of his meeting with Republican legislators days ago; his performance was rather embarrassing.

random lottery of the names in the phone book.

Your analyses is 100% correct. Obama was created by the media and clever PR boys. The 'stupid masses' bought into it (as usual) and will ultimately pay the price.

May he be a one term President because he believes his own rhetoric. His presidency will be as much a failure as Carter's was

Arn.

It is strange when Segal, a convicted ex-terrorist , writes about "saviors of humanity". A reminder to those of us who have short memories

John McCain would have been a disaster as president. He flits from one thought to another with little thought for consequences and a minimum of tact. The good (some) and the bad (lots) get thrown together in a hot stew he throws in the face of anyone who might show their face when he's angry. I knew I was not electing as saint or a chacham: I was electing a President, which is a lot different.

What about israel's last false messiah... bush??? Everyone seems to love to hate Obama and loved to love Bush but you all conveniently dismissed his close ties to the Saudi's his father's anti-Israel attitudes and his general inability to get anything meaningful done if which didn't benefit the wealthy. I know we love to hear right wing rhetoric from american presidents but Bush was no greater friend than Obama he just talked the talk.

In response to Obama's recent statement that he wasn't an ideologue determined to impose ruinous things on America, Rush Limbaugh challenged Obama to differentiate his agenda from that of the American Communist Party. To date, Obama hasn't responded. It is doubtful he will. Obama's agenda is thoroughly un American in every conceivable way. It is anti free enterprise. It is anti freedom. It abandons America's reliable allies while (literally) bowing to tyrants. Obama is NOT a good guy. Nor is he a great orator. He simply always carries his teleprompter and has good speech writers.

His program of dismantling the US and subjugating the warring perfidious Jews and the Heretic Muslim jihadis still very much in effect. Obama's problem is he demurred ro his bible thumpin pals and the pantigon with his evangenital marine corps shaman preacher

My American friends (and aunt) about Obama. I explained to them that his mentor was a preacher so of course he acquired great oratory skills but that’s all it is and always was, just hot air. I am 99% sure he won't get re-elected however I am praying that during his stay at the White House, he won't cause too much damage to Israel, that's all! If the truth be known, Obama would have not made it as U.S. president if the black & Hispanic population had not decided to vote this time around. Don’t forget, they rarely if ever vote. And that’s how Ladies & Gentlemen “Obamania” took hold of America.

so true.

My opinion is, that it is not o.k. for a major news provider to criticize a foreign politician on such a non-informative level. You can say this bill is bad, that remark is misleading and so on, that's o.k. But it's not o.k. to mock a foreign politician because he cannot deliver as his voter wanted him to do. This is very very often ascribed to politicians all over the world. There is no news in it. Please don't make a news or a "opinion" out of nothing.

You do not have a vaguest idea of what you talking about. You do not understand American politics and people.

I live in a city where the Mayor of 6 years is still blaming his predecessor for his failures. I don't expect anything different from the wing nut racists who submitted the previous talk backs let alone the article itself.

I agree with you. A lot of people not only don't understand Americans, but probably our form of government. If the recnt elections in Massachusetts are an indication, in November the Obama people may look back and remember the words of Isoroku Yamamoto after the attack on Pearl Harbour: "All we may have done is to awaken a sleeping giant."

People have to get over him.

Without Jewish support and money he would not have been elected. The liberal, leftist socalist so called Jews would have voted for castro, chavez, stalin pol-put or hitler as long as they run as democrats.

he's crooked through and through from his alliance with acorn and its sleaze, to $25 million no bid contracts for his pals. its all about power and he wants it.

So far, he has failed to deliver on a single campaign promise. He's a joke. The American people are having serious second thoughts for having elected Obama -- just look at his approval and popularity ratings. Both have fallen below 30%. In November of this year, you can expect to see the Democrats take a horrible beating in both houses of Congress and in gubenatorial elections. No Democrat incumbent up for re-election anywhere wants his help on the campaign trail -- that says it all. Obama's a bad joke. Not a funny one, either.

Obama is not a "good guy". He's as much a pathological liar as Bill Clinton is. He's not an excellent orator, either. Without a teleprompter, he can barely breathe. As for his being an unsuccessful president, well, that is closer to the truth. Given his performance during the State of the Union address, he is a petulant child given to tantrums. Finally, the U.S. is now facing a situation much worse than the abortion George W. Bush left behind. The shenanigans that the Obama administration has pulled during the past year, have only exacerbated the problems we had under Bush. All of those people who voted for this Obama outfit to be "part of history", are going to get their snoot full.

Please don't fall into that trap of thinking that anybody who criticizes Barack Obama is either a wing nut or a racist...or both. As a registered Democrat, I would have liked nothing better than to have been able to vote for the first African-American president. But having spent too much of my errant youth on the far left of the political spectrum, I recognized certain disturbing facts about Obama that apparently escaped a lot of those people who were too busy fawning over him to notice.

I'm really tired of reading the same old complaints--Obama is a fraud, Obama is a muslim, Obama is an anti-semite, Obama is naive. Israelis by and large hate Obama because he tows Israel's line 95% and not 100%--like Israel's greatest friend George W. Sure you have the right to say what you want, but how about this for a deal: Let America decide what's right for itself without the influence of what are essentially Israeli agents in the form of AIPAC and let Israel decide what's right for itself without the US telling it what to do AND without the $3 billion / year we need to spend on our health and education. Deal?

How can a Community Organiser from Chicago(is it South Side) become a US Senator in 2 years and a President in 4 . It takes a loooong time to understand the nuances of the system ... From day 1 he was bragging how he would move into Washington and ,like the proverbial Wild West Sherrif ,clean the place up . He was lucky that he got all the minorities registered in massive registration campaigns ...80% of Jews voted for him .( I thought us Jews were supposed to be smart!) By the time he gets out of Office hes going to leave a big mess behind him . Mrs Palin BTW is also hopeless.So was Mc Cain and Hillary Clinton . Not to speak of Joe Biden either How come with such a population can America only field 4 hopelessniks??? Next time try to think of better candidates and not earn while you learn types I just hope he doesnt damage Israel too badly by time he heads West again

a fool acting like collage student who doesn't cut of the material presidents made of, the famous picture of him with his feet up on the desk, summons it up, he think that everything should be in remot controll, soon people will demand his resignation, and I will tell you It old you so. naturally.

After President Barack Obama met for the first time with leaders of selected Jewish organizations and leaks from the meeting make one thing very clear. The only free country in the Middle East no longer has a friend in the leader of the free world. Obama is the most hostile sitting American president in the history of the state of Israel. Is Obama a hostile president or is he naive and mistaken ? The answer at : http://xrl.us/be5tt2

Obama has made a lot of mistakes and he doesn't have much experience, but I don't think that McCain or anyone else would have done any better. The problems are so big and complicated, that it's hard to find any solution to them Sara Palin, for sure, will not be a good president either. I shudder to think what will be if she wins a future election..

Okay, idiot child. Please name ONE thing that Obama has ACHIEVED which actually advances the United States. I'm not talking about Michele Obama's absurd fashion sense, either. (Hello, darling, with butt and thighs like you have, forget the A-line skirts. Please?) Yeah. That's what I thought.
