31. National suicide.....
Shalom ,   U.S.A.   (07.06.10)
The author of this stupid article sound like an Abu or Yussuf or Mohammed. In order to please our most important ally we must commit a national suicide? Yes, that's what this antisemite is demanding!
32. Sarah B went to law school with Obama!! lol
bob ,   NZ   (07.06.10)
and today he is the President of the United States of America and she is an influential talkbacker on Ynetnews.com.
33. Bibi should get off his duff with Shalit: take action
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (07.06.10)
Bibi should show some leadership and stand up in the White House to declare the following: "As prime minister of Israel and under my authority and responsibility alone, I have ordered the imposition of the same conditions under which Hamas is holding Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. Undery my orders, there is now a total blackout of all contacts with Hamas and Islamic Jihad prisoners currently being held by Israel. This blackout is effective immediately and is total. There will be no visits, no letters, no phone calls, no lawyers meetings, no visits by the Red Cross. Prisoners will be held in their cells. I am aware that this is against international treaties, but I point out that the international community has permitted Hamas to impose these very same conditions for four years.. The blackout will be continuous and will only be lifted after the International Red Cross has been allowed to visit Gilad Shalit and ascertain his health and conditions of confinement. At that point we will receive the Red Cross report and react accordingly. This press conference is over. Thank you for your time."

No. He is a "community organizer" who couldn't find a job with a law firm and did what many such unemployed attorneys do -- enter politics. He's a one-term wonder. The American people are sick of his inept presidency -- just look at his plummeting popularity and approval ratings. Hussein Obama can claim the dubious distinction of being the most unpopular president, ever. By the way -- I'm pretty influential in admiralty / maritime circles. And I certainly can claim a better resume and career than Hussein Obama. I earn more than he does, too -- even with his Nobel Peace Prize (which he has yet to donate to charity, as he said he would, while his wife makes public service announcements urging the American people to contribute to Haitian relief efforts. That Nobel Prize check would do a lot of good in Haiti ......)
35. second chance
mike ,   usa   (07.06.10)
I so enjoyed this article that i think it should be required reading. Because while israel and the conservitives complain our president has been about the business of the american people. Health care,bank reform and a just foreign policy that the nation can be proud of.
36. obama should apologize to Bibi !!
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (07.06.10)
As an American Jew who did not vote for this fraud, I believe obama, do to his ignorance and incompetence to apologize to Israel and the Jewish people. I was insulted in the way this man treated Netanyahu. Only a moron like obama would bow and kiss the ass of the saudi king.and insult the Jewish people.
37. no thanks
mike ,   usa   (07.07.10)
Id like to think that its not about who or whom needs who but if we have to go there its not that hard to think that americans dont needs israelis as much if at all as israelis need america and our money and tech. I know israel beleives it has tech better than america but thats a lie. that you have an economy that needs not american money but thats a lie that israel has a religion that god favors and thats a lie. what do you have that america needs , oh ya we share a history and democracy which is a lie. you have an apartied govt that we dont need and that is the truth. come back from the edge israel and join the democratic world that so wish to be apart of. because what you do have is so much more than what we have seen lately.
38. To: No. 35
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.07.10)
Poor, poor pitiful (and delusional) you. Obama has done NOTHING for the American people. Bank reform? How? Look at all the brokerage houses, derivatives dealers and mortgage brokers that have positively THRIVED under his so-called "leadership." Obama just doesn't have the intellect required to run the country, and he compounded his insufficiencies by surrounding himself with a bunch of sycophants. The Supreme Court has smacked him down on no fewer than eleven occasions already. Way more to come. Hell. Hussein Obama is doing his best to make Jimmy Carter look like a successful president. That's not saying too much.
39. To: No. 37
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.07.10)
Actually, both the United States and Israel have benefited greatly from Israeli technological developments. Moreover, Israeli scientific research has produced roughly one-half of the chemotherapy protocols in use in the world today. Of course, as an American, you are welcome to align yourselves with -- oh, say, Egypt ... Saudi Arabia .... yada yada. What have they done for you lately? Besides terrorism, I mean. Get a grip. You are seriously delusional.
40. Sarah B- Obama polling stats
bob ,   NZ   (07.07.10)
A study of the following polling data for US presidents since WW2 does not support the idea that Obama is the most unpopular President ever. He dropped quickly after the election but so have others, including Reagon. Half of the presidents listed have had higher disapproval ratings than Obama. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_approval_rating
41. Sarah B for president
Mike ,   Mpls, MN   (07.09.10)
All the worlds problems can be solved and Sarah has the answers. Afterall, she's a Harvard grad.
42. To: No. 41
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.10.10)
Would t'were all that simple. Go Crimson! Maybe it is ....
43. number # 3
Sherman ,   USA   (07.12.10)
Here you go with typical Israeli arrogance. Do you not understand the importance of the friendship between the US-Israel. Do you not know that how significant the US is to Israeli security. YES Israel can survive without the billions of aid, however our diplomatic support is priceless. China, Russia, France, England combined can NOT pull the diplomatic weight the US could or would if the need may ever arise to protect Israel.
