use grossman as toilet paper...then the two men could meet formally
2. to #1 true, words only words, that worth nothing
ghostq   (08.22.11)
I guess this Ego summit can only go down.
3. No1:incredible, that's exactly what I wanted to write before
tom ,   tel aviv   (08.22.11)
I saw your entry. Two people thinking the same: that's plain TRUTH!
4. What is the point of Obama "working"?
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.22.11)
Ordinarily one would expect to see the U.S. President hard at work when the nation's economic and overall situation is so bleak. However, in Obama's case, he may as well go on vacation till the next election. Everything Obama does is ruinous for America. His stimulus package is an absolute failure that drove America trillions of dollars into debt. Obamacare is an unconstitutional abomination which is driving America still deeper into debt. These two examples are typical of Obama's presidency. Since everything Obama does is disastrous for America and the Free World, what is the point of him "working"?
5. Why not, instead, Dore Gold's "The Fight for Jerusalem"?
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (08.22.11)
He'd get a better understanding of what Israel is dealing with than he'll get reading Grossman. Or how about Lee Smith's "The Strong Horse", or Diner's "Lost in the Sacred"? Off topic, looking at the photo I have to wonder what's happened to the dignity and honor of the office. This is the First Family?!
6. well well...to #1 and 2
kougnou   (08.22.11)
I- for sure- guess that you both represent the cream- of the- cream of this country...You both should go down the drain, along with your trashy comments, into a far far away land.,,
7. Too bad b.o. cannot read the writing on

10. book
sharon ,   Israel   (08.22.11)
Some of you are really cretins. It is an excellent book and received wide aclaim throughout the world. Too bad you stopped reading in first grade.
11. Grossman
michaelpielet ,   boca raton, Israel   (08.22.11)
Grossman is a naive fool who is diligent in the damage he does to Israel and the Jewish people. Of course some of our biggest enemies are our own people.
12. Who cares what Obama reads it is what he does.
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (08.23.11)
He should be working to cut the budget. He can start by cutting "ALL" foreign aid and bringing our military home and cutting our 30 percent of the total UN budget. The US should no longer use it's VETO and become like other nations that look out for there interest only. America should be for American interest only just like Israel should be Israeli interest only. Now that should get you people to really hate Obama.
13. Pathetic attempt to stop the loss of Jewish voters
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (08.23.11)
Hmmm. The most anti-Israel president - ever - is running for reelection in 2012. His probable opponent (Rick Perry) is a 20-year friend of Israel who founded the Texas-Israel Chamber of Commerce and is responsible for bringing millions of dollars in trade and investments to Israel. The other Republican candidates are also pro-Israel (except for Ron Paul). So, the White House puts out a statement that Obama is reading an Israeli book - as if that will make Jewish voters forget that he messed up the Israel-Egypt peace, demonizes Jews for building apartments, and pushes to make East Jerusalem the capital of a new Palestinian state.
14. grossman, the guide = ken livingstone on london.
dante ,   uk   (08.22.11)
depending upon on grossman for understanding? grossman is an asset of Israel's enemies. for the sewer's eye view of Israel, rely on grossman. fool.
15. to JL and Co...
kougnou ,   israel   (08.22.11)

JL   (08.22.11)
so anyone who has read grossmans "exellent" book is enlightened and those who have not or dont want to are cretins....im sure you are so intellectually inclined that you voted obama and watch oprah
17. Obama/Grossman
Lou ,   Ramat Gan   (08.22.11)
Who really cares what books Obama reads. Even so, he is one of the most completely leftist/liberal Presidents USA has ever had. Maybe, the next book he'll read will be one of Enid Blyton's, my favourite during my childhood.
18. to 1 once before 50 years in
(08.22.11)
myvillsge we used paper of old books as toilet papers i used to read it i found it interested from there i know what is the house of lion is called . i was sbout 5 years nowadays my son used to study read the newspaper while he is there but books is not perfect but to read it wherever you are sitting if you agree or not on what you are reading
19. now seriously, grossman is good with
ghostq   (08.23.11)
words, but the very idea that he runs away from everything makes you wonder if this is the person who should be a literal icon, I don't think people see past the words to know any beter, I dare him to visit Afrika to know what really grim situation is, for publication reasons he is willing to do anything, he likes his name in the headtitles of every magazine too much, I dare him to travel to Sudan and write about the situation there. y not it will do good for him.
